Apple Plans iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max Launch with Display and Camera Upgrades

Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max later this year, featuring significant upgrades such as a redesigned front display with under-screen Face ID and a punch-hole selfie camera. Both models may include advanced camera improvements, including a mechanical iris and a new Samsung image sensor for better low-light and dynamic range performance. Pricing in India is anticipated to be similar to or slightly higher than the iPhone 17 Pro series, while other variants like the base iPhone 18 and a lower-cost iPhone 18e may arrive later.
