The iPhone 18 Pro, Apple's upcoming flagship device, is already a topic of discussion ahead of its release in a few months due to supply chain leaks and rumors from industry insiders. The annual launch cycle of Apple has not been drastically changed, yet the firm seems to be making slight hardware changes with the 2026 Pro lineup.
The first rumors about the iPhone 18 Pro suggest that there will be no changes in the camera structure where the three cameras will remain the same. It is likely that the standard, ultra-wide and the periscope zoom units will again have 48MP sensors. In addition, new AI-powered camera functions are rumored, which may help in improving low-light performance and automated scene processing.
The front camera that is being talked about is a 24MP camera and it will be used for video calls and self-recording, which is considered as an upgrade.
The Pro series is expected to be accompanied by the Super Retina XDR panel which includes ProMotion and a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is reported to be under testing with the A20 chipset, which is Apple’s next generation. This chip is said to be manufactured with a 2nm process. Memory is likely to move from 12GB to 16GB which implies that there will be no issue with smooth operations of resource-heavy apps and gaming workflows.
A reputable insider has revealed that Apple is working on a single-tone glass back for the 18 Pro models. The outline could be similar to that of the 17 Pro, but the new back texture might be one of the more apparent visual differences. Other main design characteristics are predicted to be very close to the current Pro model.
The new iPhone 18 Pro base model with 256GB of storage is likely to be priced at approximately Rs 1,34,999 in India according to the rumors regarding pricing. In September 2026, Apple is likely to announce the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Fold, while the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e are estimated for a March 2027 release.
