Display and Design - Apple will not change the display size of its flagship device, and it will feature a 6.9-inch panel. However, the Dynamic Island will be significantly smaller than the current variant. This model will also come with an anti-reflective coating, similar to the 17 Pro Max, which eliminates glare. Design-wise, it will remain unchanged, with some refinements possible. The larger battery pack will increase its thickness slightly. This iPhone will come in Dark Cherry, Light Blue, Silver, and Gray color options.
Now, speaking of Google, the Pixel 11 Pro XL's overall look will remain the same. However, it will feature a new "Pixel Glow" light on the rear camera module. Its display will be 6.8 inches in size, and Google may increase its peak brightness to improve outdoor visibility.
Camera - The iPhone 18 Pro Max is set to receive its biggest camera update yet. Until now, Apple has used a fixed aperture for its camera setup, but the upcoming iPhone will feature a 48MP primary camera with a variable aperture.

Meanwhile, the eSIM-only variant of the iPhone 18 Pro Max will feature a 5,425mAh battery, while the model with a physical SIM slot, coming to countries like India and China, will feature a 5,088mAh battery.
