iPhone 18 Pro Leaks Point to A20 2nm Chip, New Cameras and Front Design Rethink for 2026

Fresh reports describe Apple testing under‑display biometrics alongside alternate layouts, with the Pro line targeting major silicon and imaging gains next year.

Overview

Multiple outlets report Apple preparing iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max for 2026, retaining roughly 6.3‑ and 6.9‑inch displays and a familiar rear camera plateau.
The front remains in flux, with leaks split between under‑display Face ID, a single hole‑punch selfie cutout, or a reduced Dynamic Island.
The phones are tipped to adopt an A20 series processor on TSMC’s 2nm process plus wafer‑level multi‑chip packaging, promising higher performance and efficiency.
Camera rumors highlight a variable aperture main shooter, larger apertures across lenses, and a Samsung‑made three‑layer stacked sensor for improved range and noise.
Connectivity and hardware tweaks reportedly include a next‑gen C2 modem on Pro Max with potential mmWave support, refined materials and finishes, and a single‑source claim of added thickness and weight for a larger battery.
