iPhone 18 Pro Only A Few Months Away: Here Are 10 Expected New Features

The technology world is experiencing intense excitement as the introduction of Apple's new generation flagship models, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, is just months away. According to leaked information, the company will introduce these new devices to the public at an event in the first half of September and offer them for global sale in the second half of the same month. As part of this launch, not only the standard Pro models but also the long-awaited foldable "iPhone Ultra" model is expected to emerge from behind the scenes. The introduction of the standard iPhone 18, the more affordable iPhone 18e, and the second-generation iPhone Air models will take place around march 2027. This comprehensive launch strategy is considered a clear indication that Apple aims to bring its product range to a much wider audience than ever before.

The design and color options of the devices are also among the important details that stand out in the new generation. It is rumored that there will be a radical change in the special color palette of the iPhone 18 Pro models and that the "Dark Cherry" color will become the new face of the series. In addition to this new and striking color option, Light Blue, Dark Gray, and Silver colors will also be among the options in which the devices will be offered. On the other hand, popular colors found in the current generation, such as Cosmic Orange and Dark Blue, are planned to be discontinued. Along with this update in colors, an aesthetic makeover is also expected in the design of the MagSafe-compatible Ceramic Shield area located on the back of the devices. The said rear glass surface is planned to get rid of the current two-tone design and gain a more matte and smooth one-piece look.

Looking at the screen technologies and the overall chassis, it is predicted that Apple will largely maintain the successful form factor of the iPhone 17 Pro series. Accordingly, the new devices are expected to have screen sizes of 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively, and a plateau design housing three rear cameras. However, in contrast to this outwardly unchanged design, a significant leap will be made in the internal technology of the screen. With the use of the new generation screen technology called LTPO+, it is aimed to significantly extend the battery life of the devices. In addition, thanks to a hardware change to be made in the Face ID technology, it is planned to move the flood illuminator under the screen and significantly reduce the size of the Dynamic Island notch.

In terms of camera and performance, Apple is expected to take industry-leading steps. Equipping the 48-megapixel Fusion sensor, which is the main camera of both iPhone 18 Pro models, with a variable aperture feature will allow light transmission and depth of field to be controlled by the user. The new A20 Pro chip, which will be the brain of the devices, is planned to be brought to life with TSMC's state-of-the-art 2-nanometer production process, thereby optimizing power consumption significantly. On the connectivity side, following the C1 used in the iPhone 16e and the C1X modems in the iPhone Air, a transition to the third-generation Apple C2 modem is expected. The inclusion of the new generation N2 chip, which will bring Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 standards, in the devices will elevate wireless connection performance to its peak.

Innovative connection features and fine-tuning aimed at user experience are also among the most talked-about topics of the new generation. Thanks to the developed C2 modem, the iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to incorporate satellite 5G internet support, which will eliminate your need for Wi-Fi or traditional cellular network connections. This feature will create a global revolution in communication by offering the ability to browse websites even in rural areas where signal reception is impossible. Regarding hardware buttons, Apple plans to make the structure much simpler by removing the touch sensitivity and haptic feedback features of the current camera control button. This new button design, which will be made pressure-sensitive, aims to provide users with a more consistent and smooth experience.
