Apple iPhone 18 Pro Expected to Launch with Upgraded Features and Higher Price
Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro, expected to launch in September 2026, will likely be the cheapest new iPhone model as the standard iPhone 18 may be skipped. The device is anticipated to feature camera upgrades including a variable-aperture 48MP primary sensor, a new A20 Pro chip with 12GB RAM, and improved connectivity. The design is expected to remain similar to the iPhone 17 Pro, with possible minor changes like a smaller Dynamic Island and a new Deep Red color. Pricing in India could start around Rs 1.45 lakh amid component shortages and production shifts.
