Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro models could drop the current two-tone look of the rear casing found on the iPhone 17 Pro in favor of a more seamless aesthetic, claims Chinese leaker “Instant Digital.”

Apparently, the tech giant has updated the back-glass “replacement process” to minimize the color difference between the glass and the aluminum frame, resulting in a more unified appearance. Here are some of the other rumors about the iPhone 18, which will arrive in 2026:

° All flagship models will be equipped with a 24-megapixel front facing camera, up from 18 megapixels on iPhone 17 models, 

° They’ll have variable aperture lenses, and the main and telephoto lens will feature a larger aperture.

° The base model may pack 50% more memory than the base model of the iPhone 17.

° There will be two versions of the A20 chip for the iPhone 18 series.

° Apple is working to simplify the Camera Control button component to reduce costs.

° Apple will stick with 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays (rounded up) for 2027’s iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, respectively.

° The iPhone 18 models will have displays that use less battery power than current models. 

° The iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and so-called iPhone 18 Fold will be equipped with Apple’s A20 chip.

° They’ll have under-screen Face ID.

° They will have a major leap in memory performance.

° They will have A20 chips manufactured with TSMC’s 2nm process.

° They will sport the C2 modem, a follow-up to Apple’s C1 modem. 

° They will pack a 3nm A20 processor updated for Apple Intelligence.

° Apple’s A20 chip in iPhone 18 models will switch from the previous InFo (Integrated Fan-Out) packaging to WMCM (Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module) packaging.
