Leaked Details Suggest iPhone 18 Pro to Feature Camera Upgrades and Higher Costs

Analysed 22 Jun 2026·4 sources analysed·India·tech
Leaked Details Suggest iPhone 18 Pro to Feature Camera Upgrades and Higher CostsPreviousNext

Leaks indicate that Apple's iPhone 18 Pro series will feature significant upgrades, including a larger camera module with a 48MP ultra-large sensor and a major telephoto camera enhancement. Rising memory and storage costs due to a global shortage are expected to increase manufacturing expenses, potentially leading to higher retail prices. The device is also rumored to retain a similar body design with a thicker camera bump to accommodate these improvements, while powered by the new A20 Pro chipset and a 6.9-inch OLED display on the Pro Max model.
