The launch of the iPhone 18 series is still a long way off, but early leaks are revealing new information. People are eagerly awaiting the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro, the successor to this series.
If you're also looking forward to this phone, let's explore what major upgrades the 18 series Pro model could see next year.
iPhone 18 Pro Specifications (Expected)
- Design: The biggest change reported for the iPhone 18 Pro is the design update. The screen size is expected to remain the same as the previous generation, but the front of the phone may appear cleaner. It's said that the Dynamic Island will be smaller, as Face ID components will be moved below the display.
- The rear design is also expected to receive attention. The iPhone 17 Pro featured a two-tone finish on the rear. The iPhone 18 Pro is said to have a more unified rear look, with better color blending between the aluminum frame and glass back. Apple is experimenting with new color options, including coffee brown, purple, and burgundy.
- Performance: The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to see significant improvements in performance. This phone will feature the A20 Pro chip, which will be built using a 2nm manufacturing process and paired with a WMCM (wafer-level multi-chip module).
- Simply put, this combination will provide improved performance, better power efficiency, and stronger AI capabilities.
- Camera: The iPhone 18 Pro's camera upgrades are once again a hot topic. This time, the primary camera is expected to feature a variable aperture. This setup will allow the camera to adjust the amount of light entering the lens based on the scene.
- This means users can choose between a shallow depth of field for portrait-style shots, a balanced look where the subject is clearly visible but the background remains clear, or deep focus for landscape and group photos. Other camera improvements are also expected.
- Battery Life: The company will also try to increase the battery life of this phone. According to reports, the iPhone 17 Pro used the largest battery ever.
- A well-known tipster claims that the iPhone 18 Pro Max may be slightly thicker and heavier, presumably due to the larger battery.
- The Pro model is not mentioned, but past patterns suggest that the company may upgrade the larger battery to both Pro variants rather than limiting it to just the Max version.
- Connectivity: Instead of the Qualcomm modem, the company may include the new C2 modem in the iPhone 18 Pro. Previous versions of Apple's in-house modem have already shown improvements in efficiency and battery consumption, and C2 is expected to build on that foundation and deliver solid 5G performance.
