# iPhone 18 Pro Max Keeps Design as Apple Plans 2027 Overhaul 2026-08-07T15:42:12+00:00 | Technology | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The iPhone 18 Pro Max will retain a familiar design this September as Apple saves its biggest overhaul for the iPhone’s 20th anniversary in 2027, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The company plans a foldable iPhone in September 2026, followed by a commemorative model in September 2027 with an all-glass curved display, under-panel Face ID, solid-state haptic buttons, and a LOFIC camera sensor. Gurman says this mirrors the 2017 iPhone X launch that skipped the iPhone 8 redesign. At the September 2026 event, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected to feature the A20 Pro chip on TSMC’s 2nm process, 12GB RAM, a triple 48MP camera with mechanical variable aperture, a smaller Dynamic Island, and a 5,567mAh battery. The standard iPhone 18 and second-generation iPhone Air are delayed to spring 2027. Prices may rise by $100, 200 (approx. Rs 9,535, 19,070). However, some analysts warn that announcing a radical redesign two years ahead could slow upgrade cycles. ## Coverage - thehansindia.com - english.mathrubhumi.com Tags: 2027, 20th anniversary, Apple, design overhaul, iPhone 18 Pro Max, Mark Gurman Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/iphone-18-pro-max-keeps-same-design-big-overhaul-waits-till-2027/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
