Apple to Launch iPhone 18 Pro Series with Higher Prices and Upgraded Features in 2026
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro series in September 2026, likely without a standard iPhone 18 model. The Pro models, including the iPhone 18 Pro Max, may feature upgrades such as the A20 Pro chip, increased RAM, and camera improvements like a variable-aperture lens. Prices in India are anticipated to rise, with the iPhone 18 Pro starting around Rs 1.39-1.45 lakh, influenced by memory supply constraints. The launch coincides with leadership changes at Apple and the introduction of a foldable iPhone Ultra.
