When will iPhone 18 Pro Max be available?

(Dan Tri) - A report reveals that the iPhone 18 Pro Max pre-order program will take place on September 12, one day later than usual every year.

According to the plan, Apple will hold a new product launch event at 10:00 a.m. September 9 (Pacific time), which is 0:00 a.m. on September 10 (Vietnam time).

In previous years, the company would begin accepting pre-orders the first Friday immediately following the event. One week later, the product will be delivered to customers who have ordered.

According to Macworld, this year's schedule will change. Specifically, Apple is expected to postpone the pre-order schedule to Saturday (September 12). The product's release date will also be delayed to September 19.

The main message of this year's event is "Surprise and shine". The image on the invitation has the Apple logo glowing with sunlight shining through.

At this event, Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and its first folding screen iPhone. Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 18 version will launch in early 2027.

It is expected that the iPhone 18 Pro Max will be equipped with a camera system capable of changing aperture. Worth mentioning, this feature only appears exclusively on the Pro Max version, while the Pro model does not support it.

This feature allows users to adjust the amount of light entering the sensor depending on the shooting environment. Specifically, when shooting in low light conditions, the aperture will automatically widen to capture more light, making the image brighter and more detailed.

Some leaked images show that the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max duo will have a smaller Dynamic Island part. Specifically, the Dynamic Island area will be reduced by up to 35% compared to its predecessor.

Besides the iPhone 18 Pro duo, the folding screen iPhone is expected to become the highlight of the event. According to MacRumors, the folding iPhone will have a screen of about 7.8 inches when unfolded. This size is equivalent to the screen on the iPad mini model. The selfie camera will be placed in the upper left corner of the screen.

Meanwhile, the device's external screen is 5.5 inches in size. This screen has a shorter and more square ratio than current iPhones. This design is similar to the design of a passport.

In addition, Apple can also introduce a series of other products such as Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4, the new generation Apple TV 4K and an updated version of HomePod mini.

Besides the new hardware devices, the company will also announce the official release date of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS Golden Gate and other software updates.
