“Apple is expected to release the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a foldable iPhone in September,” a source stated.
The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will launch with Apple’s new A20 Pro chip. This chip is built on a 2nm process, delivering 15% faster performance and 30% better power efficiency than current models.
Key improvements for the devices include full satellite internet support. Additionally, Apple’s C2 5G modem will replace Qualcomm’s existing technology.
The iPhone 18 Pro is anticipated to have a smaller Dynamic Island. It will also feature under-display Face ID components, enhancing the user experience.
Rumors suggest that the Pro Max model may include a variable aperture camera, which could improve photography capabilities significantly.
New color options are also on the horizon. Dark Cherry is most likely the rumored hero color for the series, replacing Cosmic Orange. Other colors include Light Blue, Dark Gray, and Silver.
However, the base model iPhone 18 faces delays and is now expected to arrive in spring 2027.
The price tag for the iPhone 18 Pro models will start at $999 or more. This staggered approach could allow Apple to focus more attention on its premium Pro and foldable handsets during the holiday season.
Apple’s usual iPhone release schedule is expected to change in 2026. Details remain unconfirmed regarding other features or specifications.
