Overview
- Jeff Pu of GF Securities, in a note published Tuesday, said Apple plans an “aggressive” approach that keeps iPhone 18 Pro starting prices unchanged or only slightly higher than iPhone 17 Pro levels.
- New photos of alleged camera covers, reported Thursday by Tom’s Guide from Weibo via a Korean blog, show Silver, Dark Gray, Dark Cherry and a light “Cloud Blue,” with no traditional black, from third‑party parts that may not match final shades.
- Multiple reports say the Pro models will add a variable‑aperture main camera and Apple’s new A20 Pro chip built on a 2nm process, changes expected to boost image control, speed and power efficiency.
- Leaks also point to a much larger Pro Max battery near 5,100mAh and a front design that moves toward a smaller Dynamic Island or under‑display Face ID for a cleaner screen.
- Coverage expects Apple to unveil the Pro pair in September, with Forbes citing Bloomberg reporting that the standard iPhone 18 models could slip to early 2027.
