While Apple’s next-generation smartphones are still far in the future, the first rumors about the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max have begun circulating in the tech world. These initial reports, coming from reliable sources, offer significant clues about the changes Apple is planning for its next flagship series. These leaks cover a wide range of areas, from design to camera features to hardware power.

The iPhone 18 Pro is coming with revolutionary innovations

One of the most striking design claims concerns the Dynamic Island. According to “Instant Digital,” an account on the popular Chinese social media platform Weibo known for its accurate leaks in the past, the iPhone 18 Pro models will feature a smaller Dynamic Island. However, it’s still early to announce the transition to under-display Face ID, and it’s reportedly coming to the iPhone 19 Pro series at the earliest.

A revolutionary innovation is expected in the camera system. According to supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 18 Pro models’ 48-megapixel main camera will feature a variable aperture. This feature will allow users to manually control the amount of light entering the lens and reaching the sensor. This will bring greater control over depth of field, bringing the professional photography experience to mobile devices.

Significant improvements are also expected in terms of hardware and other features. Rumors suggest the iPhone 18 Pro will be equipped with TSMC’s A20 Pro chip, which will utilize TSMC’s latest 2nm manufacturing process. This could lead to a much more noticeable performance increase we’ve become accustomed to seeing every year. It’s also rumored that Apple’s own C2 modem, expected to offer higher 5G performance, will be included in this series. Finally, the Camera Control button will reportedly be redesigned to focus on pressure-sensitive controls instead of swiping gestures.

While all these leaks suggest the iPhone 18 Pro series will feature significant improvements, it’s important to remember that the devices’ launch is approximately a year away. Plans may change, and new information may emerge during this time. So, what do you think of these early leaks? What would be the feature you’d most like to see on the iPhone 18 Pro?
