New Delhi: iPhone users continue to wait for the upcoming unveiling of the next flagship, and new leaks have surfaced offering a sneak peek at display upgrades, a new chip, and other enhancements for Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro models. The latest leaks have also suggested a shift in Apple’s launch strategy, from a single launch of all the models to a potential split launch. Here are all of the latest features of the Apple iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. While the 6.27-inch 120Hz and 6.86-inch 120Hz for the Pro and Pro Max remain the same, just like the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, the leaks suggested that the latest under-display areas are instead of the Dynamic Island.
iPhone gets a new chip every year. The A20 Pro chip for the iPhone 18 Pro will be Apple’s first chip built with the 2nm process and also utilise WMCM packaging. Leaks suggested that at least one rear camera may feature a mechanical iris, enabling variable aperture control. This hardware upgrade would provide superior exposure control and natural depth of field in harsh lighting conditions, potentially reducing the device’s reliance on heavy software post-processing.
iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to be released in September 2026, the usual month of iPhone release, but latest leaks suggest that the release of the base iPhone 18, iPhone 18e and the next-generation iPhone Air could be delayed to early 2027. Latest leaks indicated that the price of Rs 1,34,900 for the iPhone 18 Pro is Rs 1,49,900 for the iPhone 18 Pro Max. The pricing may vary depending on storage and further configuration upgrades announced by Apple later.
