This is the iPhone 18 Pro Max

So, you know, anytime we receive a box that looks like this, there's gonna be something relatively exclusive and interesting inside. This one came from China, and I believe it is yet another look, possibly an even closer variant to the upcoming iPhone, the folding iPhone. Still, nobody knows exactly what it's gonna be called. Now, you've seen the videos on these two previous versions. This was the first one that we saw, the most crude of the bunch, just like an aluminum structure, removable hinge. This gave us a rough idea of what Apple was doing, what that new iPhone was gonna look like. Then we moved to this one that I received, which gave you an even better impression because it showed what a screen might look like on the outside, but then this one, I was like, well, obviously these corners will be rounded. It's gonna look a little different than this, but this one was crazy thin as well. Like, I mean, this would be quite impressive if they actually delivered something like this, but this latest package, well, it claims and aims to be even more like the eventual product. And after seeing Samsung's Fold 8, Apple has its work cut out because that thing was pretty well put together. So in this package is not only the upcoming folding device, supposedly, like obviously a copy, a mock-up version of it, but also some looks at just the next iPhone, the next non-folding iPhone. And who knows, this might not be the last package that we receive before those phones are actually announced. So make sure to subscribe to the channel and you become the first person in the world to know and get a better look before it's even out. So this video has been sponsored by this little guy. This is the Commu Action Pro, and it is a tiny little voice recorder, note taker with built-in AI, and it can fit like this on the back of your phone. And what's different here is that this one has a built-in display. We have a dedicated AI button because we have an AI agent that we can speak to without the need to open any app on your phone. And you'll have a record of that conversation, and then you can create actions based on it once you do open the app. So here I'm speaking to Commu AI about coffee consumption. Help me create a presentation about coffee drinking. I go ahead and ask for an actual presentation on coffee drinking. I get to a beautiful presentation like this. I'm in the same app. 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed daily. Instant coffee actually dominates coffee consumption globally because it is the coffee of choice in Asia Pacific and Eastern Europe. I don't wanna drink instant coffee, but I suppose it is convenient. So the goal here is for this device and devices like this to do more than just record and transcribe your conversations. So after recording, open the paired Commu app to find an accurate transcript and summary. Commu will proactively suggest next steps based on what was discussed. You can turn your conversation into action items, whether you need a document, a reply email, meeting prep, or reminders to keep you on track. Plus it's got a big battery, up to 70 hours of recording. Plus this device has live multilingual translation and headset recording is coming soon. So for phone call recording mode, all you have to do is hold your phone up to your head, no speakerphone or headset required, and have your phone call as usual and it'll record. And then for in-person meeting mode, you can just put it on the desktop like this or even standalone without being attached to your phone. So that's the Commu Action Pro. Definitely check out the details down in the description. It does a little bit more than just record. It actually turns those recordings into actionable things. It's kind of, I mean, I say this every time, but there's increasing accuracy coming out of China at this point, and the stuff that they're sending is looking more and more like the actual finished products every single time. So some of these are labeled, some are not. 18 p.m., 18 p.m., and then this one has no label on it. So maybe this is the folding variant. Oh, it absolutely is. Tightly packed into this package here. Let's see how it stacks up compared to the other ones. Okay, feels a lot like this guy, but more finished. More curved, slightly, still a little sharp in the corner. Wow, definitely more of a finished product. The hinge is no longer a thing that pops off. You can see our sticker in the middle here. Wow, that is an extremely faded Apple logo. Like, you can barely even see it there. Extremely subtle matte finish, and then glossy where the Apple logo is. The camera cutout, quite a bit different here. This looks far more realistic than the previous version. Same with the remainder section. The volume buttons in the same spot, although here we can see a speaker grill on this new variant, and then speakers on the bottom, Type-C on the front. Ooh, they flipped that as well. So the connector used to be on the bottom, and speaker on the top. Now that's switched on this variety. Large button clickable here. I would guess that's gonna be your unlock. And then above that, what is that, our action? Here's, let's see, oh, here we go. Open it up, ooh, I'm taking it off. Okay, sweet. Woo, some kind of a screen protector for the thing that's not even actually a real screen. There's no way that their hinge is gonna be this pronounced, obviously. But this is still a better look than the previous version. This one here, I mean, they had a sticker in the center to qualify the fact that the screen is going all the way through. Now this doesn't turn on, and it isn't quite as thin either, is it? No, it's slightly thicker. It feels more realistic that this, there's no way this corner's gonna be this sharp though, because that's gonna be no fun in the palm of your hand. But very similar in form factor to what we saw from Samsung in the Fold 8. There you go, that's two different looks, two different potential devices. This one, single tone. Here we have the two-tone with more kind of brushed metallic components. This, to me, feels a lot more likely. I'm gonna place that there because we've also got the 18PM is what they're calling it. Does that mean every single one is a Pro Max look? And there's supposedly some new colors. Take this for what it is. This may happen, it may not happen. We never know, but like check out that new color. Holy crap, that is rose crimson. Like these two don't even look like they quite match up properly, you know? But I still think this is a cool idea. Like this color on the frame. I mean, they do have to do one kind of new color each time, don't they? These buttons, very clicky. This really feels like a finished product, close to it. We can get an idea for scale difference though. Like if you're thinking about Pro Max versus the new Fold, Fold is obviously much stubbier. And interesting, like in Samsung's lineup, it will just be a variant. They're still going to be selling the Flip and obviously the Ultra, which is gonna give you that tall form factor and their other slab style devices. But for Apple, it appears that this is their play in the folding space. Like they're going to have the Passport form factor exclusively, that's the way it looks at this point. What else do we have for PM? Oh, a blue. Here we have a blue, metallic, metallic blue, kind of a lighter blue. These shades look closer when compared, closer to each other, which makes it feel somewhat more realistic. I'm guessing there's gotta be a black and white somewhere in here. Yeah, here's the white and silver. This is very similar to what we have right now as an option. So nothing too exciting to report with the white and silver. And then last up, black, very black, space black. Did you just zoom in on me breathing on this? Precision removal there, holy cow. So that gives us a look. I mean, like, do I think for sure that this will be the color options? I'm skeptical. I mean, this one, it probably indicates they're gonna do something in the reddish pink realm. I don't think it's gonna look exactly like this. It is a cool and unique color. They have to have a unique color so that people can send a message to the world that they have the latest one. Considering the fact that you still have such a familiar form factor, one of the ways you can send that message out is with something distinctive that's exclusive to this particular release. So maybe we're gonna see something in this area, but it's not gonna be exactly like this, I don't think, because they don't even really match up correctly. The blue is kind of nice. Black and white is self-explanatory. And then we have yet another variant. I mean, it really seems like a foregone conclusion at this point, now that we've seen three generations of this that, like, this is what's going on. I would be kind of shocked at this point if the whole thing is a scam and we don't get anything like this from Apple. That would be a shock, but who knows? Maybe they would delay it if they're having any kind of production issues or problems, and then maybe we would see it at a later date, but I doubt it. It really feels at this point that we are moving towards a release of a passport-style folding device from Apple, and then this here is probably the best look that we have yet as to what that device is gonna look like and how it's gonna break down in terms of dimension. The thickness here feels more believable to me than the previous mock-up that I had, which was just a little too impossibly thin. I mean, obviously, if anyone's capable of it, like, Apple would be capable of it, but it's gonna come at the expense of battery life. And when you're powering so much screen, if you trim those batteries too slim, are you going to have battery life that people are willing to live with? Probably not. So I think you have to get sort of to this thickness, and if you look at the original variant that I got, these two are almost identical in their thickness. I don't know about this speaker layout, though. Let me think how you're holding this. So up and down, diagonal. Top left speaker grill, bottom right speaker grill. Interesting, and then if you hold it like this, you might be blocking one or the other. Who knows what they know? They know more than we know at this point as they gear up in China for major releases, making cases, accessories, and so forth. And before all that starts, making reliable mock-ups that appear to be getting closer to a finished product. What do you guys think? Is this happening for sure, certainly, 100%? Folding phone from Apple. And also let me know about the colors. Which one of these four colors would you choose, and do you think they're gonna make a reddish, pinkish, maroonish iPhone like this mock-up appears to suggest? And then lastly, make sure to subscribe it because this probably won't be the last package I receive relating to these new iPhones. I know it's happening soon, but there's a high possibility that we'll get another look sometime shortly. So I'll see you then.
