As the iPhone 18 Pro approaches its launch, Apple has teased a host of notable upgrades to the upcoming devices. Scheduled for release in September, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are poised to differ from their predecessors while retaining some key design elements. Among the anticipated improvements are a smaller Dynamic Island, enhanced LTPO+ displays, and a variable aperture main camera.
The iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to feature Apple's new A20 Pro chip, utilizing a 2nm process for improved performance and power efficiency. This is a step down from the A19 Pro chip, which is built on TSMC's 3nm technology. Another addition is Apple's third-generation C2 modem, which is expected to further enhance 5G connectivity, even when used via satellite.
Support for 5G via satellite is one of the more intriguing features rumored for the iPhone 18 Pro. This would enable web browsing without relying on Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity. Additionally, the devices are rumored to sport a larger battery in the Pro Max model, approximately 10% bigger than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The Pro Max is also expected to be thicker than its predecessor and the regular iPhone 18 Pro.
The new iPhone 18 Pro models will also introduce a special color option, Dark Cherry, alongside Light Blue, Dark Gray, and Silver. The Cosmic Orange and Deep Blue colors from previous models are expected to be discontinued. The camera control button will be redesigned, removing touch sensitivity and haptic feedback for a more streamlined user experience.
