Apple launched the iPhone 17 Pro Max last September and by the end of 2025, it had become the fourth best-selling smartphone of the year. Seeing its features, people immediately accepted it, but now people have started selling it. In the last few days, the number of brand new condition iPhone 17 Pro Max models in the resale market has increased and this has worried even Apple. Let us know why this is happening.

Why are people selling it despite liking it?

According to a report by PhoneArena, people are not able to stop themselves from selling this popular iPhone. Actually, the reason for this is that even after so many days of launch, the value of this iPhone remains high. That means people are ready to pay more to buy a second hand iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Resale value is the biggest factor

145 days after the launch of iPhone 16 Pro Max, its original value had reduced by 32.5 percent. In comparison, the value of 17 Pro Max has declined by only 25.4 percent. This means that even after so many days, the 17 Pro Max can be resold for more money than the 16 Pro Max. Many people are doing this and this is the reason why there is a flood of iPhones in the resale market. It is believed that people are selling 17 Pro Max and going towards other models of iPhone 17 series or Android smartphones.

Apple’s concerns may increase

Apple will launch only Pro models of the iPhone 18 series in September this year and the standard variants will be launched next year. If the same situation happens with the iPhone 18 Pro models, then it could be a cause for concern for Apple.

Apple fans eagerly wait for the latest iPhone. This year, Apple will launch iPhone 18 Pro models in September. There are still several months left for its launch, but its expected features have been revealed. Looking at these features, one thing is clear that Apple does not want to leave any stone unturned in its flagship model. The company is going to provide about 10 major upgrades in 18 Pro models, which will take them ahead in the iPhone competition.

These upgrades will be available in 18 Pro models

Design- Single tone color will be available in the rear of the upcoming 18 Pro models. This change is being made in view of the problem of fading in the dual-tone color of the existing 17 Pro models.

New battery- The iPhone 18 Pro Max will have Apple’s largest battery so far, whose capacity can be up to 5,200mAh. Due to this, the weight and size of the upcoming flagship model will also increase slightly.

Small Dynamic Island- Apple is preparing to gradually remove Dynamic Island. In the same connection, the dynamic island can be made smaller in the iPhone 18 Pro models. For this, Apple is trying many types of technologies.

Latest Chipset- Apple’s most advanced A20 chip will be provided in 18 Pro models, which will be prepared on TSMC’s 2nm process. It is being designed for excellent performance as well as power efficiency.

C2 modem- Apple’s C2 modem will be available in iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. This will support higher speeds and also increase power efficiency.

New camera sensor- Samsung’s new three-layer stacked image sensor can be given in Apple’s upcoming series. This will reduce noise and improve dynamic range. Till now Apple has been providing Sony sensors in its iPhones. In such a situation, this move towards Samsung is a big change.

Variable Aperture- The rear main camera of 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max models will be upgraded with variable aperture. With this the user will be able to decide how much light should enter while taking a photo.

5G satellite internet- Apple’s upcoming flagship will support 5G networks operating through satellite. With this, iPhone will not depend only on mobile network for connectivity and will be able to get connectivity through satellite also in emergency.

New colors- Three new color options can be seen in 18 Pro models. If reports are to be believed, these phones will be launched in burgundy, brown and purple color options.

Easy camera control- According to leaks, Apple is working on simplifying the camera control buttons of iPhone 18 Pro models. In the upcoming model, this button will come with recognition of pressure sensing only. Apple is removing capacitive sensing from it, which will also help in keeping its price low.

Samsung and Apple may be each other’s competitors in the smartphone market, but there are many partnerships between the two. Samsung has been supplying OLED display panels to Apple for many years. Now a report has said that Samsung is making its most advanced OLED display till date, but it will not use it itself. This panel is being made for Apple, which can use it in iPhone 18 Pro and foldable iPhone.

What will be special in the new display?

According to reports, Samsung will supply LTPO+ (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon Oxide Plus) displays for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. This display is more power efficient and an infrared camera can also be placed under these panels. Another advantage of this display will be that even after offering variable refresh rate (1-120Hz), it will consume less battery. This means that the user will get a great display as well as long battery life in the upcoming iPhone.

Will also help in reducing the dynamic island

With the help of the new display panel, Apple will also get a chance to reduce the dynamic island. Actually, currently the FaceID sensor is installed in the display island. If Apple uses LTPO+ panel in the upcoming iPhone, then it will be able to place the Face ID sensor below the display and it will not need a cutout. This will save space in the dynamic island and the company will be able to reduce its size. Let us tell you that Apple wants to completely eliminate the dynamic island in iPhone 20 Pro Max and give full display.

iPhone 18 Pro models will be launched this year

Apple is changing its launch schedule from this year. Till now, the company has been launching all its new iPhones in September, but this year, foldable iPhone will be launched along with iPhone 18 Pro models in September. The standard variant of the series iPhone 18 and its affordable version iPhone 18e will be launched in February-March next year.

If you are also included among those people, then let us tell you that the company can present the iPhone 18 Pro models to be launched in 2026 in a new look. In the upcoming Pro models, information about reducing the color contrast of aluminum body and glass panel to the same shade is coming to the fore.

What will change in iPhone 18 Pro models?

A glass panel has been provided in the rear of iPhone 17 Pro models for wireless charging. Its color tone is slightly different from the body color. For those who did not like this look, Apple will make a big change. In the upcoming model, the color tone of the body and glass panel will be kept the same by reducing the contrast. This will make the rear look of the iPhone 18 Pro models different from the existing 17 Pro models.

18 Pro Max will come with a bigger battery

Apple had paid special attention to the iPhone 17 Pro regarding the battery and launched these models with its biggest battery. Now the 18 Pro Max coming next year can be equipped with an even bigger battery. If leaks are to be believed, the thickness of 18 Pro Max will be more than 17 Pro Max. This increased space will be used to provide a bigger battery.

Expected to get under screen Face ID

Apart from rear design and big battery, the upcoming iPhone will be equipped with many more great features. It is being told that the company may have under display Face ID in the iPhone 18 series. This will help in making the dynamic island smaller.
