The iPhone 18 Pro Max sounds like it’s going to be a total stunner! Even with the iPhone 17 series still on the horizon, leaks about the 2026 iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are already stealing the show. According to Gadgets360, Apple’s ready to ditch the Dynamic Island for a sleek punch-hole selfie camera and a sneaky under-display Face ID, giving us a cleaner, more in-your-face screen.
The scoop, coming from Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station, says the iPhone 18 Pro will rock a 6.27-inch LTPO OLED display, while the Pro Max goes big with a 6.86-inch screen, both packing 1.5K resolution for crazy sharp visuals. The real kicker? Apple’s jumping on the punch-hole bandwagon with something called HIAA tech, which tucks the selfie camera into a tiny cutout by tweaking the pixel setup. Plus, Face ID sensors are going undercover—hidden under the display for a vibe that’s basically all screen, no distractions. Fans are already geeking out over the near bezel-free look.
This move makes the iPhone 18 Pro series feel a bit like those fancy Android phones that’ve been rocking punch-holes forever. The Dynamic Island, which showed up on the iPhone 14 Pro, has been a love-it-or-hate-it thing, mixing Face ID and the selfie camera in a pill-shaped cutout. Apple’s already shrinking it for the iPhone 17 Pro Max this year, but by 2026, the Pro models might wave it goodbye completely, though the base models could stick with it.
Apple’s working hard to make sure Face ID’s infrared sensors play nice under the screen, which has been a tricky hurdle.
