Highlights

  • The iPhone 18 Pro Max may become Apple’s heaviest and thickest flagship yet, weighing over 240g and measuring 9mm thick.
  • Expected changes include under-display Face ID, redesigned camera modules, and a steel-encased battery, contributing to the increased size and weight.

Apple’s next-generation iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to launch in late 2026. The flagship iPhone is already drawing attention for its expected design and hardware changes. Adding to rumours via fresh leaks, it could become the company’s heaviest and thickest flagship yet. Here’s the full story.

iPhone 18 Pro Max Could Be Heavier Than Ever

A recent leak from Chinese tipster Instant Digital on Weibo claims that the iPhone 18 Pro Max will weigh more than 240 grams, making it Apple’s heaviest iPhone to date. This would surpass the weights of previous models like the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro Max, both of which were lighter.

For comparison, the iPhone 16 Pro Max featured a titanium body and weighed 227 grams, while the shift to aluminium in the iPhone 17 Pro Max raised the weight to 233 grams, partly due to a larger battery.

Along with the extra weight, the iPhone 18 Pro Max is also expected to feature a thicker chassis, measuring around 9mm, up from the 8.8mm thickness of its predecessor.

iPhone 18 Pro Max – What Else We Know?

The increase in weight and thickness is believed to be linked to internal hardware advancements. Reports suggest the iPhone 18 Pro series will introduce a new under-display Face ID system, redesigned camera modules, and a steel-encased battery. These updates could collectively contribute to the device’s added heft.

While Apple has yet to confirm whether the larger frame accommodates a bigger battery, it seems likely that the brand’s design changes are focused on durability and component integration.

Another leak indicates Apple plans to refine the iPhone’s aesthetics by colour-matching the aluminium frame with the reinforced glass back panel, addressing the dual-tone contrast seen on the iPhone 17 Pro models. This move could result in a more seamless and premium-looking design.

iPhone 18 Lineup and Launch Timeline

Apple is reportedly planning a two-phase rollout for the iPhone 18 lineup. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to debut alongside Apple’s first foldable iPhone in September 2026, while the standard iPhone 18 and entry-level iPhone 18e could follow in early 2027.

Meanwhile, the second-generation iPhone Air is now said to be delayed indefinitely. This model was initially linked to the 2026 launch window.

FAQs

Q1. How heavy and thick will the iPhone 18 Pro Max be?

Answer. Leaks suggest it will weigh over 240g and measure around 9mm thick, making it Apple’s heaviest and thickest flagship iPhone to date.

Q2. What hardware changes are expected in the iPhone 18 Pro Max?

Answer: The device may feature under-display Face ID, redesigned camera modules, and a steel-encased battery, contributing to its increased size and weight.

Q3. When will the iPhone 18 series launch?

Answer. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in September 2026, followed by the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e in early 2027.

Samsung’s much-awaited Galaxy Z TriFold has been in the works for months. The device concept was first showcased during the Galaxy Unpacked in January 2025 and since then fans have been excited. The Korean brand has previously confirmed its arrival before the end of the year and it seems the company is ready to unveil its most ambitious device yet.

According to the latest report, the innovative foldable device is set to make its debut next month with new leaks shedding light on its launch timeline, design, and hardware details. Here’s all we know.

According to The Chosun Daily, Samsung will officially launch the Galaxy Z TriFold on December 5, followed by immediate sales. However, availability could be limited to South Korea and select Asian markets initially.

The report adds that the Galaxy Z TriFold may cost around 4.4 million Korean won, which is approximately $3,000 USD. While previous leaks hinted at a possible U.S. release, that now appears uncertain.

Industry insiders suggest that Samsung may treat this initial launch as a test phase, gauging consumer response before a wider international rollout next year. If successful, the Galaxy Z TriFold could mark a major leap in smartphone design. It will be blending the capabilities of a phone and tablet in one sleek, foldable form.

Galaxy Z TriFold to Feature Massive 5600mAh Battery

One of the key highlights of the Galaxy Z TriFold will be its 5600mAh battery, making it even larger than the one inside the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. The unique three-part folding mechanism has allowed Samsung to fit three separate battery units inside the device. This will help to deliver more power than any previous Samsung foldable.

When unfolded, the Galaxy Z TriFold expands into a 10-inch display, giving users a tablet-like experience. The larger battery is designed to support the increased power demand of the expansive screen, providing all-day usage.

While 5600mAh is substantial for a foldable, it’s just enough to balance the large display’s power requirements.

The Galaxy Z TriFold is expected to feature an entirely new design with two hinges and three connected displays, a first for any smartphone. Reports suggest that the outer display could measure around 6.5 inches, while the inner unfolded screen will reach 10 inches.

Despite its complex design, Samsung is reportedly keeping the TriFold sleek and compact, measuring just 4.2mm thick when folded and 14mm when unfolded. This engineering feat could make it one of the slimmest multi-fold devices ever made.

Furthermore, the Galaxy Z TriFold is rumoured to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, paired with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It is expected to run Android 16-based One UI 8 with Samsung likely offering seven years of OS and One UI updates for the device.
