Overview
- Current reporting points to a September 2026 launch for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max.
- Multiple leaks indicate Face ID components could move under the screen, potentially removing the Dynamic Island and relocating the selfie camera to a small top-left cutout.
- The Pro models are tipped to use an A20 Pro chipset built on TSMC’s 2nm process with tighter RAM-to-SoC packaging for improved performance and efficiency.
- Camera reports suggest at least one rear sensor may gain a mechanical iris for variable aperture, enabling more flexible exposure control.
- Apple is reportedly testing new Pro colors, early US price estimates hover around $1,099 for Pro and $1,199 for Pro Max, and exploratory satellite 5G connectivity remains uncertain and faces major hurdles.
