iPhone 18 Pro Max Malaysia: Size, Specs and What Fits It
Everything known about the iPhone 18 Pro Max in Malaysia: expected size, camera changes, colours, launch timing and which cases already fit. Updated weekly.
In stock nowThe iPhone 18 Pro Max is the largest phone in this year’s lineup, expected at 6.9 inches, with a 163.4 x 78.0 x 8.75mm body confirmed on Apple’s own spec sheet. On timing, on sale from Friday 18 September 2026, with pre-orders from Saturday 12 September, and Apple has officially confirmed its “Surprise and Shine” launch event for September 9, 2026 (Wednesday) at 10am PT, which is 1am on 10 September Malaysia time, livestreamed at apple.com and via the Apple TV app; new iPhones are widely expected to headline the event, though Apple’s own invite does not name specific products Nothing on this page is confirmed by Apple except the event itself. Last updated 10 September 2026.
What the iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to be
The Pro Max is the top of the standard iPhone 18 line: the biggest screen, the biggest battery and the camera system Apple puts its newest parts into first. If you are searching for it by name this early, you are almost certainly deciding whether to wait for it rather than buy the current model.

Here is the honest position. Apple has confirmed the event and nothing else. Apple has officially confirmed its “Surprise and Shine” launch event for September 9, 2026 (Wednesday) at 10am PT, which is 1am on 10 September Malaysia time, livestreamed at apple.com and via the Apple TV app; new iPhones are widely expected to headline the event, though Apple’s own invite does not name specific products Every specification below comes from supply-chain reporting and leakers, and we mark it as such rather than dressing it up as fact.
What the reports agree on is the shape of the phone: a large Pro Max at 6.9 inches, with a 163.4 x 78.0 x 8.75mm body confirmed on Apple’s own spec sheet, sitting above the iPhone 18 Pro at 6.3 inches, with a 150.0 x 71.9 x 8.75mm body confirmed on Apple’s own spec sheet, with the foldable expected to sit above both.
On the inside, the reporting is consistent even if none of it is confirmed: an A20 Pro chip built on a 2-nanometre process is expected, Apple’s own C2 modem is rumoured to replace the Qualcomm part in at least some regions, and leaker Ice Universe reports a slimmer Dynamic Island, all per MacRumors’ running roundup as of late August. Battery capacity figures are circulating too, but without a named source we will not print them.

How big is the iPhone 18 Pro Max? Size and dimensions
Screen size is the number most people search for, and the expectation is 6.9 inches, with a 163.4 x 78.0 x 8.75mm body confirmed on Apple’s own spec sheet. That is the same class of size as recent Pro Max models rather than a dramatic change, so if a current Pro Max fits your hand and your pocket, this one should too.
Physical dimensions matter more than screen size for anything you buy to go around the phone. Apple can keep a screen size identical and still change the body by a fraction of a millimetre, and that fraction is the difference between a case that clicks on and one that does not.
Our iPhone 18 Pro dimensions and size guide tracks the measurements as they firm up, including how the Pro and Pro Max compare against the iPhone 17 generation.
- Expected screen: 6.9 inches, with a 163.4 x 78.0 x 8.75mm body confirmed on Apple’s own spec sheet on the Pro Max
- Expected screen: 6.3 inches, with a 150.0 x 71.9 x 8.75mm body confirmed on Apple’s own spec sheet on the smaller iPhone 18 Pro
- Body dimensions: not confirmed, and the number that actually decides case fit
- Weight: not reported with any consistency yet
The camera change that affects what you can put on it
The most repeated hardware claim this year concerns the rear camera. Reports describe a 48MP Fusion main camera with a variable aperture that moves between f/1.48 and f/4 on six laser-cut blades, on both the Pro and the Pro Max rather than the Pro Max alone
That detail sounds cosmetic and is not. A taller lens stack changes how much clearance a case needs around the camera cut-out, and it changes whether a lens protector sits flush or fouls the housing. It is the single most common reason a case that looks correct in photos does not work in the hand.
This is why we will not promise you a guaranteed fit before Apple publishes real measurements. Anyone who does is guessing with your money.
What colours will the iPhone 18 Pro Max come in?
Reports point to Black, Silver, Glacier and Burgundy, the four finishes Apple lists for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max The one drawing the most attention is Burgundy, the deep red Apple put front and centre on stage, which would be the boldest finish Apple has given a Pro model in several years.
Colour matters more than people expect when choosing a case. A deep red phone under a heavy opaque shell is just a black phone, which is why clear and lightly tinted cases sell disproportionately well in launch month. Our guide to what case colour suits Burgundy goes through the combinations properly.
How much is the iPhone 18 Pro Max in Malaysia, and when does it launch? Price and timing
On price, Apple Malaysia has published the prices. The iPhone 18 Pro is RM5,499 for 256GB, RM6,499 for 512GB, RM8,499 for 1TB and RM11,499 for 2TB. The iPhone 18 Pro Max is RM5,999, RM6,999, RM8,999 and RM11,999 across the same tiers. The 256GB and 512GB prices are unchanged from the iPhone 17 Pro, so the US increase did not carry over at the entry tiers, while 1TB is RM1,000 more than last year We are not going to invent a ringgit figure, and you should treat any page that quotes one as unreliable.
On timing, on sale from Friday 18 September 2026, with pre-orders from Saturday 12 September After the reveal, pre-orders open on Saturday 12 September at 5am Pacific, which is 8pm Malaysian time, and the phones reach stores on Friday 18 September For Malaysia specifically, Malaysia is named in Apple’s first wave of more than 65 countries, so pre-orders open here on 12 September and stock lands in stores on Friday 18 September
Our iPhone 18 Malaysia launch guide is the page we keep updated with confirmed Malaysian pricing and dates the moment Apple publishes them, across the whole lineup rather than the Pro Max alone.

Which cases already fit the iPhone 18 Pro Max?
This is the part we can be definite about, because it is our own stock rather than a rumour. GALADO iPhone 18 Pro Max cases are cut, made and in stock now, shipping from Penang with warranty and easy returns.
Every case is cut to the specific model, so the buttons, ports, camera surround and MagSafe alignment all line up rather than approximately line up. If Apple’s final measurements move, that is our problem to solve and not yours: the fit guarantee is why we sell cut-to-model rather than universal.
Prices start at RM98 for Glaze Clear and run to RM149 for custom name, custom photo and artist prints.
Should you wait for the Pro Max or buy now?
If you are due an upgrade and can wait a few weeks, waiting is the rational choice: you get the new hardware and the old model gets cheaper either way.
If your current phone is unprotected while you wait, that is the expensive gap. Most cracked screens we see happen in the weeks people spend deciding, not the weeks they spend committed. A case for the phone you own today costs less than one screen repair.
Either way, the useful thing to do now is get on the list so you are told the moment Malaysian pricing is confirmed, rather than refreshing rumour sites. Last updated 10 September 2026.

Questions, answered
How big is the iPhone 18 Pro Max?
The expected screen size is 6.9 inches, with a 163.4 x 78.0 x 8.75mm body confirmed on Apple’s own spec sheet, with the smaller iPhone 18 Pro at 6.3 inches, with a 150.0 x 71.9 x 8.75mm body confirmed on Apple’s own spec sheet. Apple has not published dimensions, and the body measurements rather than the screen size are what decide whether a case fits. Our iPhone 18 Pro dimensions and size guide tracks those as they are reported.
When is the iPhone 18 Pro Max coming out?
Apple has officially confirmed its “Surprise and Shine” launch event for September 9, 2026 (Wednesday) at 10am PT, which is 1am on 10 September Malaysia time, livestreamed at apple.com and via the Apple TV app; new iPhones are widely expected to headline the event, though Apple’s own invite does not name specific products On general availability, on sale from Friday 18 September 2026, with pre-orders from Saturday 12 September, and pre-orders open on Saturday 12 September at 5am Pacific, which is 8pm Malaysian time, and the phones reach stores on Friday 18 September For Malaysia, Malaysia is named in Apple’s first wave of more than 65 countries, so pre-orders open here on 12 September and stock lands in stores on Friday 18 September
How much will the iPhone 18 Pro Max cost in Malaysia?
Apple Malaysia has published the prices. The iPhone 18 Pro is RM5,499 for 256GB, RM6,499 for 512GB, RM8,499 for 1TB and RM11,499 for 2TB. The iPhone 18 Pro Max is RM5,999, RM6,999, RM8,999 and RM11,999 across the same tiers. The 256GB and 512GB prices are unchanged from the iPhone 17 Pro, so the US increase did not carry over at the entry tiers, while 1TB is RM1,000 more than last year We will publish the confirmed Malaysian price on our iPhone 18 Malaysia launch guide as soon as Apple announces it, rather than guessing a figure now.
Can I buy an iPhone 18 Pro Max case now?
Yes. GALADO iPhone 18 Pro Max cases are in stock and shipping from Penang today, cut to the exact model, from RM98. You do not have to wait for the phone to arrive to have protection ready for it.
Will an iPhone 17 Pro Max case fit the iPhone 18 Pro Max?
Do not count on it. Case fit for the iPhone 18 Pro is much clearer now that Apple’s own specs page confirms body dimensions identical to the iPhone 17 Pro (150.0 x 71.9 x 8.75mm) and Pro Max (163.4 x 78.0 x 8.75mm), so most iPhone 17 Pro cases with a broad camera cutout should physically fit; Apple has not officially certified cross-generation compatibility though, so cases with tightly molded camera rings or precision lens cutouts still warrant caution Reports also describe a 48MP Fusion main camera with a variable aperture that moves between f/1.48 and f/4 on six laser-cut blades, on both the Pro and the Pro Max rather than the Pro Max alone which changes the clearance a case needs around the camera. A case cut for the previous generation may cover the body and still foul the camera housing.
What colours will the iPhone 18 Pro Max come in?
Reports point to Black, Silver, Glacier and Burgundy, the four finishes Apple lists for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max The most talked about is Burgundy, the deep red Apple put front and centre on stage. None of this is confirmed by Apple until the launch event.
iPhone 18 specifications, pricing and launch date are still unconfirmed by Apple, so treat those as expected rather than final. Our cases are in stock now, cut to the latest available dimensions, with free returns if the final design differs. Last updated 10 September 2026.
