The iPhone 17 Pro Max may be the last "Max" iPhone.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Many people choose to buy the iPhone Pro Max version because it has the largest screen in the entire product line. However, the iPhone 17 Pro Max may be the last iPhone "Max" model to truly hold that title.

"Max" will no longer mean the biggest when foldable iPhones appear. Typically, the word "Max" implies that nothing can surpass it. However, Apple broke this rule when it introduced the M1 Ultra chip, which was even more powerful than the M1 Max. And history seems poised to repeat itself.

According to leaked information, in addition to the iPhone 18 Pro Max launching in 2026, Apple will also announce a completely new product line. It is highly likely that this model will be called the iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra.

The iPhone Fold will be Apple's first foldable iPhone. It is expected to have a 5.5-inch outer screen and a 7.8-inch inner screen. This would make the iPhone Fold the largest-screen iPhone to date.

The arrival of the iPhone Fold also marked a significant shift in Apple's product philosophy. Until now, the "Max" line represented the most premium, powerful, and largest version.

After the Fold was released, the "Max" may have become merely a traditional premium option, while the Fold became a symbol of the future and innovation.

For most average users, the Pro Max version is probably still the safer choice. This model can adequately meet most everyday usage needs.

Meanwhile, the iPhone Fold will target users who love novel experiences and unique features only found on foldable phones. Of course, the expected price of over $2,000 will be a significant barrier for consumers.
