Overview
- Coverage from several outlets says Apple is planning to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in September 2026, with some reports adding a first foldable, while the non‑Pro iPhone 18 is tipped for a February–March 2027 window.
- Camera leaks highlight a 48MP main sensor, improved telephoto performance and a variable‑aperture or mechanical‑iris system on at least one rear lens for greater control in low light.
- Display rumors suggest Pro models could move Face ID components under the screen, shrinking or possibly removing the Dynamic Island in favor of a small camera hole near the top‑left, though some sources still expect a narrower cutout.
- Performance reports point to a new A20 Pro chip built on TSMC’s 2nm process with wafer‑level multi‑chip packaging, with expectations of up to 12GB RAM and familiar 6.3‑inch and 6.9‑inch 120Hz OLED panels reaching up to 3,000 nits.
- Battery chatter centers on a larger pack for the Pro Max around 5,100–5,200 mAh that could make the phone thicker and heavier, with one report projecting up to 40 hours of use from the larger cell and efficiency gains.
- Early India pricing leaks suggest the iPhone 18 Pro could start near Rs 1,34,900 and the Pro Max near Rs 1,54,900, with color tests reportedly including deep red, coffee and purple plus a possible semi‑transparent rear finish.
