In a note to clients — as noted by MacRumors — analyst Jeff Pu says the upcoming iPhone Pro models will sport the following new features:
° Asmaller Dynamic Island on the devices that could be 35% smaller than those on the iPhone 17.
° The main 48-megapixel Fusion camera on both iPhone 18 Pro models will have a variable aperture that will allow users to control the amount of light that passes through the camera’s lens and reaches the sensor;
° They’ll pack an A20 Pro chip using TSMC’s first-generation 2nm process;
° They’ll include the N2 chip that enables Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread;
° They’ll have a C2 cellular modem, the follow-up to Apple’s custom C1 that debuted in the iPhone 16e last year, and that was followed by a C1X chip in the iPhone Air.
Here are some of the other rumors about the iPhone 18 line-up, which should arrive in September or October:
° Apple is “testing” coffee (brown), purple, and burgundy (wine red) color ways for the iPhone 18 Pro Max.
° The iPhone 18 Pro will have a front camera cutout in the top-left corner of the screen alongside a new under-display Face ID system.
