iPhone 18

Apple is set to launch the iPhone 18 series this year, and we have been tracking everything about these upcoming devices. And today, we got the first look at the dummy units of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series. As per the leak, the iPhone 18 Pro series will come in four variants, including Black, Silver, Dark Cherry, and Light Blue colors. You can look at the images below.

Apple switched to an aluminum chassis on the iPhone 17 series from titanium on the previous models. In an official press release, Apple said the switch to aluminum is mainly for better performance and called the aluminum chassis strong, lightweight, and thermally conductive. It seems like this shift isn’t going to last forever.

According to the latest post from Instant Digital, a reliable Apple leaker, Apple is going to use a titanium chassis for future iPhones. He stated that Apple hasn’t abandoned titanium and seems to be researching an improved version. He also mentioned that Apple is aiming to reduce its weight and address poor thermal conductivity, which are the two biggest plus points of aluminum.

The leak doesn’t reveal which iPhone models will get the titanium again. But the rumors suggest that Apple’s upcoming iPhone Ultra, which is the iPhone 4, is going to use the titanium chassis.

Seems like Apple is experimenting with different colors for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series. In the past, the iPhone 18 Pro was said to come in a variety of different colors, all of them darker. Previous reports suggested the iPhone 18 Pro series would have brown, purple, and red color variants, but the latest leak reveals completely different colors. According to Macworld, Apple is currently testing four colors for the iPhone 18 Pro, which include Dark cherry, light blue, dark gray, and Silver. Yes, there will be no black color variant this year as well, as confirmed by previous reports. The report says the Dark Cherry is the standout one out of all four colors. What do you think? Which one do you like?

We have been reporting that the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series will have a variable aperture. It allows you to physically switch between different apertures instead of using the software. Variable aperture is already available on most smartphones, including Samsung, but rumors suggest that Apple will bring it to the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. And now this new camera with a variable aperture reportedly enters production

Every year before the launch of official Apple iPhones, we get the dummy models. And this year, the new dummy models of iPhone 18 and iPhone Fold have been circulating online. You can take a look for yourself.

We have been reporting that Apple is going to add new playful colors to the iPhone this year, including Red, purple, and brown. The latest leak suggests that there will be no black color variant. Reports also suggest that the iPhone is only available in blue, orange, or silver.

Except for a smaller Dynamic Island, the new colors, and the improvements in the camera, there isn’t much going to change in the upcoming iPhone 18 series. For the past few months, we have been reporting that the upcoming iPhone 18 series will have a smaller Dynamic Island, which is 35% smaller than the current lineup, and it is confirmed by almost every leak so far. Additionally, the upcoming iPhone Pro series will have new color variants, including purple and brown, and also the new red color variant that was previously reported. And now, according to Leaker Fixed Focus Digital on Weibo, these changes will be evident, and we cannot expect more than these changes in the upcoming iPhone 18 series.

We previously reported that the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series will have a smaller Dynamic Island compared to the current lineup. Many popular leaks have already confirmed it. Now, the screen guard of the upcoming iPhone 18 series has surfaced online, giving us a glimpse of how it is going to look in real life. The source of this leak is currently unknown, but it points to all the leaks we have discussed previously. The upcoming iPhone 18 will surely feature the Dynamic Island, but this time it will be smaller compared to the current lineup.

We have been reporting that Apple is going to follow a new split launch timeline for the upcoming iPhone 18 series. And now the latest report has confirmed this. According to the latest report, Apple is going to announce the iPhone 18 Pro series this fall, along with a foldable iPhone. Then, in the late spring of 2027, Apple is going to announce the standard iPhone 18 along with the iPhone 18e and also the rumored iPhone 18 Air. However, the iPhone 18 series won’t come with significant changes. Apple has planned a bigger redesign for the iPhone 20 series, which is expected to be announced in the fall of 2027.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max will be the heaviest iPhone Apple has ever made, according to Ice Universe. The popular leaker also claimed that Apple is still going to stick with the Dynamic Island, but now with a 35% smaller version.

Now, Ice Universe claims that the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max will measure 8.8 mm in thickness, which is a slight increase from the 8.75 mm thickness of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. He also states that the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max will weigh over 240 grams compared to the iPhone 17 Pro.

The reason for increasing the thickness and the weight is the increase in battery size. The iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to feature a 5,100-5,200 mAh battery size. While this isn’t a significant bump up from the previous iPhone 17 Pro Max, it is nice to see Apple is increasing the battery size with a slight increase in thickness, which most people will welcome.

CAD renders of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro have surfaced online, revealing the front camera and Face ID setup on the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series.

Previously, it was rumored that the Apple iPhone 18 Pro would have a side punch hole camera and under-display Face ID. Another rumor suggests that Apple will use a smaller Dynamic Island that is 35% smaller than the current one, and now the new CAD render, which is from an unknown source, has confirmed a smaller Dynamic Island on the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Series.

We should know the full details in the coming days, but for now, Apple’s Dynamic Island is going to be different from the existing models. We will have to see how different it is going to be.

Mark Gurman from Bloomberg has shared a report claiming that Apple is internally testing a deep red finish color for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series.

He claims Apple will position red as a flagship color for the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. If this is true, along with the current bright orange color, we might also see the iPhone in red.

For those who are unaware, Apple previously used Red color for a charitable initiative; a percentage of each sale of the device is donated to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.

Apple might finally upgrade the front cameras on the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series to 24MP. According to the recent report, the new 24MP will be standard across all iPhone models, including the base iPhone. And also Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone is also expected to feature 24MP front cameras, both on the cover display and in the main display. The current iPhone 17 series features 18 megapixels.

Details of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max capacity leak have surfaced online. According to Digital Chat Station, the iPhone 18 Pro Max is said to feature a 5200 mAh battery, the largest ever on an iPhone.

Here are the expected battery life capacities for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series:

Previously, we reported that the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series will feature a variable aperture that lets you control how much light reaches the sensor. Now, according to the latest leaks from Smart Pikachu on Weibo, the iPhone might also support a teleconverter. However, he claims that the teleconverter is under evaluation. For your information, many Android smartphones, such as the Vivo X100 Pro, the recently launched Oppo Find X9 series, and some Xiaomi smartphones, also support a teleconverter. You can mount a teleconverter directly to your smartphone for extra zoom options.

According to the latest report by Ming-Chi Kuo, who shares the latest leaks about the iPhone 18 series, Now claims that Apple may absorb the cost of rising components for the iPhone and keep the iPhone 18 series prices unchanged.

According to him, Apple has secured a quarterly deal for the supply of LPDDR RAM components, so despite the price increase throughout 2026, Apple may not be affected by the new prices. And also to be competitive, Apple might absorb any higher component prices to keep the iPhone prices stable and increase its market share.

So, going by the report, we can expect the iPhone 18 Series to be priced similarly to the iPhone 17 Series.

We recently shared that the upcoming Apple iPhone 18 Pro models might support 5G satellite internet. Now, according to a report, Apple is in talks with SpaceX to add full 5G satellite internet using Starlink to the iPhone 18 Pro models.

Apple iPhones already support Emergency SOS via satellite communication, which allows you to send emergency texts in remote areas with no signal. Now, if the reports are true, with the iPhone 18 Pro series, you will also be able to browse the internet and use 5G in remote areas with no signal. Neither Apple or the Starlink has confirmed this yet. And also, there is no information about whether the base iPhone 18 model will also get this feature.

According to the latest report, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 (which is now rumored to be launched alongside the iPhone 18 series) might come with a customizable Face ID, which is rumored to be thinner than regular to fit into the thinnest form factor.

According to the latest report, the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series may feature 5G satellite communication, which is an upgraded version of the current emergency SOS satellite communication. The new 5G satellite communication is expected to support real-time voice connectivity and data connectivity. However, they will be available later this year and might entirely depend on the career deals.

According to the latest leaks and rumors, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max will only come in these colors. Currently, Apple is considering the following options, including Burgundy, Coffee brown color and new Purple. There is no confirmation yet.

Latest rumors suggest that the iPhone 18 Pro series will not have a side punch hole camera cutout; instead, the Pro series will use a smaller Dynamic Island. John Prosser, a popular Apple leaker who also leaked the upcoming Apple foldable smartphone, has claimed that for the first time ever, Apple is going to be using a side punch-hole camera cutout for the front camera on the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series. However, the latest leak by Ice Universe, who is another popular leaker, suggests that Apple will still use the dynamic island on the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Series. However, this time the dynamic island is going to be 35% smaller than the current dynamic island found on the current iPhones.

According to the latest report, Apple is expected to remove touch sensitivity and haptic feedback from the camera button on the iPhone 18 series. Rumors suggest that Apple will only include pressure sensitivity on the camera control button.

John Prosser, a popular Apple leaker, has leaked the full details of the upcoming Apple iPhone Fold. He published a detailed video on YouTube claiming most of the details of Apple’s first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Fold. According to him, the iPhone Fold will be released alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. It will feature a book-style design similar to current foldable smartphones, but with a similar aspect ratio to the current iPhone.

According to him, when it is folded, it will resemble current iPhones when closed. It is going to feature a 5.5-inch outer display and a 7.8-inch inner display and will have a 9mm thickness. In terms of cameras, the iPhone Fold will feature four cameras, with a front-facing camera outside when folded and two on the rear, which are the main camera and front-facing camera on the inside. He also claims the upcoming iPhone will use Apple’s new Touch ID, which is directly integrated into the power button. The iPhone Fold is also expected to use Apple’s in-house modem C2, which is expected to give better battery life. And finally, the iPhone Fold will be available in two colors, the black and white variants and will be priced around $2,000 to $2,500.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models may use variable aperture. If this rumor is true, the iPhone 18 Pro models will be the first iPhones to support a variable aperture feature.

According to the latest reports, Apple is going to launch its first foldable iPhone in 2026. The iPhone Fold will be announced along with the traditional iPhone 18 Pro series, which is set to launch in September 2026.

According to Instant Digital, a popular leaker from China has posted on his Weibo account claiming that the iPhone 18 Pro Max will be slightly thicker than the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

According to him, the new iPhone 18 Pro Max will weigh more than 240 grams. The current iPhone 17 Pro Max weighs exactly 233 grams. The increase in size might be due to the slightly bigger battery found on the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max, and also the new hardware.
