iPhone 18 Pro Max

Not out yet. Here is when we think it lands, and exactly why we think so.

We will keep this on your list as the date moves.

Reveal

The day it is shown to the world

Good guess · Right month, maybe not the day

9 September 2026

in about 3 weeks

Almost certainly between 28 August and 23 September 2026 — that is where eight out of ten of our guesses land.

Where it will almost certainly land Still possible, but unlikelyThe higher the shape, the more likely that date.

Where we started Its own release rhythm This line has launched on a steady schedule, so we started from when the next one is due.

Reports behind it 2 separate stories Found across 5 articles. When several sites repeat the same leak, we count it once — otherwise one rumour would look like proof.

Since last time No change Last worked out on 19 Aug 2026. We recheck every day.

Prices reported elsewhere

Currencies we have a price for but no matching launch market. As reported, in the currency they were quoted in — we never convert between currencies, because a converted figure is a number nobody actually printed.

US dollar Reported

from $1,199

Stated as fact, but by only one or two sources.

The article wrote a bare currency symbol, so we have assumed USD.

1 source, 1 report

What the hardware is

3 of 20 headline specs known so far. Values from a spec database describe a phone that exists; values from articles are what sources claim about one that does not yet. Each row says which it is, and where sources contradict each other we print both figures rather than choosing.

Where you will be able to buy it

Probably worldwide Based on how this product line usually launches

Going on what this line normally does, not on anything said about this phone yet.

iPhone normally launches worldwide.

No report so far has named a specific country for this one. That is normal early on: the market is usually only spelled out close to launch.

Every time we changed our mind, we wrote it down and never touched it again.
