Overview
- Mark Gurman of Bloomberg said the iPhone 18 Pro will bring some of the biggest camera hardware upgrades in the lineup’s history, without detailing the parts.
- Leaks point to a variable aperture for the Main camera, a wider aperture for the Telephoto, and testing of stacked sensors said to boost dynamic range and cut image noise.
- Supply-chain reporting suggests the Pro Max may add a 5100–5200 mAh battery and a thicker camera module, which could make the phone heavier and slightly thicker than the prior model.
- This fall’s lineup is widely expected to split between traditional iPhone 18 Pro models and a first foldable iPhone Ultra that reportedly drops the Telephoto lens and may share an A20 Pro chip.
- Rumors also say the Pro may use an aluminum body with a vapor chamber for cooling while the Ultra could use titanium without a vapor chamber, and Apple has not confirmed any details ahead of an expected September reveal.
