Notebookcheck • • general
Key Points:
- A leaked diagnostics log from Tata Electronics confirms the iPhone 18 Pro Max will feature a new main camera sensor, the Sony IMX905, which supports variable aperture—a first for iPhones.
- The main sensor maintains the same 1.22μm pixel size as the iPhone 17 Pro Max, indicating the upgrade focuses on the variable aperture capability rather than sensor size.
- Other camera components, including the telephoto, ultrawide, LiDAR, and selfie sensors, remain unchanged from the previous generation, with the telephoto sensor continuing to use a 3-axis spherical actuator for stabilization.
- The iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to launch in September 2026, with rumors suggesting a $200 price increase due to higher camera and memory production costs.
