Apple Plans iPhone 18 Pro Launch with Upgraded Features and Cost Adjustments

Apple Plans iPhone 18 Pro Launch with Upgraded Features and Cost AdjustmentsPreviousNext

Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in September, featuring upgrades like a faster 2nm A20 chip, larger batteries, a smaller Dynamic Island, and a new variable-aperture camera. The Pro Max may be thicker and heavier due to a bigger battery. Apple is negotiating lower OLED display prices to offset rising memory costs, with suppliers Samsung and LG offering panels at reduced rates without compromising quality. The iPhone 18 Pro series may also debut alongside Apple's first foldable iPhone.
