Khaberni - New leaks regarding the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max from Apple point to one of the most important updates in years, with notable improvements in display, performance, and overall user experience.
The leaks suggest a significant strategic shift for Apple, as they indicate a possible move away from its traditional single-event launch and replacing it with a phased rollout of the iPhone 18 series.
Although the details are still unofficial, the information suggests a new chip, improvements in the display, and a revised launch schedule, which could change the way Apple introduces its flagship devices, according to a report by the technology news website Mashable, viewed by Arabiya Business.
The leaks suggest that Apple will maintain the same screen sizes and refresh rates for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models as in previous versions, with Pro featuring a 6.27-inch display at 120 Hz, and Pro Max with a 6.86-inch display at 120 Hz.
However, there might be a radical change in design, as Apple is currently testing a new under-screen solution that may replace the dynamic island, indicating a more attractive front design.
It is expected that the 18 Pro series will be equipped with Apple's "A20 Pro" chip, representing the company’s first processor built on the advanced 2 nanometer manufacturing tech.
According to reports, the chip will also utilize the "WMCM" packaging technology, which could achieve notable gains in performance and energy efficiency compared to previous generations.
This time, camera improvements in the iPhone 18 Pro models might go beyond just software tweaks; the leaks indicate that at least one of the rear cameras may feature a mechanical aperture, which allows for variable aperture control to improve light exposure management and for more natural depth-of-field effects, especially in challenging lighting conditions.
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to be launched in September 2026, adhering to Apple's traditional release window. However, the release of the basic iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and the next-generation iPhone Air might be postponed until early 2027.
