The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to bring several design and hardware changes compared to previous models.
One of the biggest changes is the front design. Reports point to a much smaller Dynamic Island (around 35% smaller), or possibly no Dynamic Island at all. The front camera is displayed as a small punch-hole in the top left corner, while Face ID is positioned under the display.
The phone is expected to come in two sizes, which are 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches.
On the camera side, Apple may introduce a variable aperture lens, allowing the camera to adjust to different lighting conditions more effectively. The physical camera control button is also said to be simplified.
In terms of performance, the iPhone 18 Pro is expected to use the 2nm A20 Pro chip, along with Apple’s C2 modem. Satellite connectivity may be expanded, with support for 5G via satellite.
New color options might include Burgundy, Brown, and Purple.
Keep in mind that these details are still based on early information and visuals, and final specifications may change before launch.
iPhone 18 series is expected to launch in Fall 2026, but rumors say Apple may use a split strategy. The iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and the new iPhone 18 Fold are likely to arrive in September, whereas the standard models may not launch until Spring 2027.
There is no official word yet on when the iPhone 18 Pro will launch in the Philippines, but based on previous releases, it usually arrives locally a few days after the official global launch.
