If it’s manufactured in July, it’s defective.
August & newer manufacturer date is good. I currently have august model. All reports are targeting July manufacturer.
iPhone 18 Pro Max vs Anniversary iPhone
• 6.9” OLED → 7” OLED
• Unibody aluminum → quad-curved all glass design
• 1.3mm → less than 1mm (expected)
• Physical buttons → Solid state buttons

• 5567mAh → ~6000mAh
• N/A → Reverse wireless charging
It’s likely to retain the under display FACEID & small dynamic Island.
It’s gonna be one of the major design change next year. Are you planning to upgrade?
Sorry to burst your bubbles, but the 20th anniversary iPhone will not feature an under display camera or under display FaceID. It will have the same Dynamic Island as the 18 Pro.
The main change will be a quad-curved display with an elegant glass and metal design.

Here’s how Apple’s internals and battery capacities have evolved over the years 🔋
Apple used an L-shaped battery design up until the iPhone 16 Pro series…
This is the evolution of the front camera area across generations of iPhone.
From the notch, to the Dynamic Island, and then to a gradually smaller Dynamic Island, Apple’s approach has been pretty clear: shrink the front camera area step by step, generation by generation.
Looking at this evolution, I remain skeptical that the iPhone 20 Pro will suddenly move the front camera completely under the display and achieve a truly uninterrupted full-screen design.
Apple rarely makes such an aggressive leap when it involves core experiences like Face ID, selfie quality, and display quality. I think another transitional stage with an even smaller cutout is more likely.
Of course, if Apple can actually solve the image quality issues of under-display cameras by the iPhone 20 Pro, it would be a huge milestone for iPhone design.
Which generation of iPhone have you used?
Looking at the information surrounding the iPhone 18 Pro, it seems that different units may use components from different suppliers, which makes me question whether Apple is properly controlling and standardizing the quality of those components before shipping.
At this point, are we really supposed to pay over $1,000 for a smartphone and just hope we get a “good” unit? Are we bas
iPhone 18 Pro series might be one of the most problematic iPhone launches in recent years 💀
> Face ID issues
> Random reboots
> Unresponsive touchscreens

And it’s barely been a few weeks since launch.
I have a feeling Samsung may quietly introduce a revised display panel for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. They've done similar hardware revisions in the past.
The updated panel could eventually show up as a replacement part, but don't expect Samsung to officially offer it as an upgrade or replacement service for existing devices.
Samsung is squeezing every last drop out of the current camera hardware on the Galaxy S27 Ultra
Insane improvements in all areas while keeping the hardware unchanged
