Many opt for the iPhone Pro Max series due to its largest display in the lineup. However, the iPhone 17 Pro Max might be the last true “Max” model to hold that title.
Traditionally, “Max” implies the pinnacle, yet Apple broke this rule with the M1 Ultra, surpassing the M1 Max. History seems poised to repeat itself.

According to the latest leaks, alongside the 2026 iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple will unveil a new line, possibly the iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra. Experts predict this marks the dawn of Apple’s foldable iPhone era after years of market exploration.
The iPhone Fold is rumored to feature a 5.5-inch outer display and a 7.8-inch inner display, akin to an iPad mini when unfolded. This would make it the largest iPhone display ever.
Insiders reveal a “book-style” folding mechanism, minimizing screen creases—a common foldable flaw. The chassis is likely titanium, with a LiquidMetal alloy hinge for durability. Specs may include an A20 chip, 12GB RAM, and 256GB base storage.
Priced at $1,999 (approx. $53 million VND), it would be Apple’s priciest phone. A 5,000 mAh battery and quad-camera setup with dual 48MP rear lenses are expected.

The iPhone Fold redefines premium Apple products. While “Max” once symbolized peak performance, “Fold” could embody innovation and flexibility. For most, the iPhone 17 Pro Max remains a balanced choice, while the Fold targets tech enthusiasts willing to pay $2,000 for a revolutionary experience.
