Apple Plans iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max Launch with Upgraded Features and New Colors

Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max later this year, featuring upgrades like a 2nm chipset, under-display Face ID, variable aperture cameras, brighter displays, and larger batteries. The base iPhone 18 model may be delayed until spring 2027. Reports suggest new color options, including deep red and dark cherry, with the Pro models retaining a design similar to the iPhone 17 Pro. Pricing is expected to be stable or slightly higher, reflecting rising component costs.
