Six nights remain before Apple unveils its latest iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models, along with a first foldable iPhone. The annual iPhone fall event, dubbed "Surprise and shine," is scheduled for September 9. To help readers unwind, here is a rundown of the features anticipated in the new iPhone 18 Pro models.
Design-wise, the iPhone 18 Pro models will follow the iPhone 17 Pro's outline, albeit with a more seamless rear casing that has less contrast between the glass and aluminum frame. The battery life of the iPhone 18 Pro Max is said to be enhanced with a large 5,100–5,200 mAh battery and a slightly thicker, heavier design due to this.
The Dynamic Island is expected to shrink down, thanks to the relocation of some Face ID components beneath the display. The display of the iPhone 18 Pro models is rumored to be more energy-efficient LTPO+ display, which is supplied by Samsung Display and LG Display.
Apple's advanced A20 Pro chip, built using TSMC's cutting-edge 2nm process and Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module (WMCM) technology, will be powering the new iPhone models. This should bring improvements in terms of performance and power efficiency. The C2 modem, which will be an in-house creation, might make an appearance in the Pro models, promising faster speeds and better efficiency. However, mmWave capability might be absent, with the devices relying on a Qualcomm modem in the United States and Apple's C2 modem elsewhere.
A new three-layer stacked image sensor from Samsung is expected to equip the iPhone 18 Pro lineup with better responsiveness, noise, and dynamic range. The 48-megapixel Fusion camera on both iPhone 18 Pro models is anticipated to gain a variable aperture for better control over light and depth of field.
Apple is also rumored to have overhauled the Camera Control button, employing pressure sensing without the need for a separate capacitive layer. This change aims to reduce complexity and cost. As for color options, Apple is rumored to have tested several new finishes, but Light Blue, Dark Cherry, and Silver are the ones we are betting on. The Black option is no longer being considered.
iOS 27 will accompany the iPhone 18 Pro, offering an overhauled Siri AI experience with onscreen awareness, personal context, web knowledge, and enhanced Apple Intelligence features. Pre-orders for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to commence on September 12 at 12 a.m. Pacific Time. In contrast to previous years, Apple will not be releasing a standard iPhone 18 in September 2026.
Instead, the lineup will focus on its latest premium iPhones, with the iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and iPhone Air 2 arriving in spring 2027.
