Apple to Launch iPhone 18 Pro Series with Price Hikes and Camera Upgrades
Apple's iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to launch in September with higher prices in India, potentially starting around Rs 1,39,900 to Rs 1,49,900, driven by increased component costs. The Pro Max model may feature a variable aperture main camera with a new Sony sensor, enhancing low-light photography. Design updates include a smaller Dynamic Island and larger batteries, especially in the Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and other models are anticipated later, alongside Apple's first foldable iPhone.
