Apple’s next flagship iPhone 18 Pro series has started leaking. Although the launch is still months away, but information is coming out from various reliable sources that makes it look like Apple is going to make some big changes this time.
The most talked about thing is that the Dynamic Island will be smaller in size compared to the previous generation. Leakers say it could be about 25-35% smaller than the previous model. Along with this, there is a possibility that some parts of Face ID will go under the screen. Apart from this, there are also strong rumors about the new A20 Pro chipset (2nm process) and 48MP periscope telephoto camera.
Design Changes
The design of the iPhone 18 Pro will be basically the same as the iPhone 17 Pro, but there will be some significant changes on it. The Dynamic Island will be much smaller – some leaks say it could come down to around 15mm. This will more clear space at the top of the screen.
The design of the camera module may also change slightly. The new camera control button (which came on the iPhone 17 Pro) may now be in a more advanced version. There will also be new color options – new color shades like Dark Cherry or Deep Red may be seen.
Processor and Performance
As always, Apple will use the new A20 Pro chipset, which will be manufactured on TSMC’s 2nm process. It can be very effective in both performance and power efficiency. Leakers say that this chipset will also be accompanied by a new modem (Apple C2), which will improve 5G speeds and satellite connectivity.
Camera Upgrades
In terms of the camera, there will be a 48MP main lens and it may have variable aperture support. There is also a 48MP periscope telephoto lens coming, which can provide better performance in zoom shots. These camera upgrades could improve both zoom photography and overall image flexibility.
Battery and Other Features
The battery size may also improve. The iPhone 18 Pro Max may see a larger 5200 mAh battery. It is also expected to have new color options and more advanced AI features.
Launch Timeline
According to Apple’s usual routine, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are most likely to be launched in September 2026. Some leaks say that Apple may bring the Pro models earlier this time and launch the regular iPhone 18 models later (in spring 2027).
Although this information is still at the leak level and Apple has not officially confirmed anything yet. However, the leaks are so consistent that it seems that this time the iPhone 18 Pro series will see some major changes. More concrete details are expected closer to Apple’s September 2026 launch event.
