iPhone 18 Pro Max: case thickness and weight – further report | News

The iPhone 18 Pro will probably not be a significant step, but this was not to be expected for two reasons. On the one hand, a lot of the design of the 17 Pro had already been changed and the internal structure had also been revised, but on the other hand, the iPhone Ultra ties up a lot of capacity – and is likely to be the really big iPhone innovation of the year. Now a well-known leaker speaks out and says what he was able to find out about the dimensions. According to this, Apple managed to keep the height at the level of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, although it actually meant having to live with slightly more thickness for a long time. This only refers to the housing itself, not the camera section. Previous dummies suggest that there is an even more expansive section.

But it will probably be harder
Despite the same thickness of 8.75 millimeters, the relevant sources unanimously assume an increase in weight. In this regard, the statement came from several channels that the iPhone 18 Pro Max most likely weighs more than 240 grams. For comparison: the iPhone 17 Pro Max weighs 233 grams. The previous record holder, by the way, was the iPhone 14 Pro Max with exactly 240 grams. According to market experts, however, “thin and light” is not a criterion that is of particular importance for the target group of the Pro series – so Apple has some leeway. Both the Pro Max’s slightly larger battery and revisions to the variable aperture camera system could be responsible.

Display: Same size, newer technology
However, nothing changes when it comes to the display size. Although there may be a switch to LTPO+ in order to enable more efficient operation through more precise control, the dimensions remain at a diagonal of 6.9 inches. If you are looking for further visual changes, you should find them in the shrunken dynamic island and the monochrome back – currently the color of the middle section is different.
