The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are upcoming smartphones to be developed and marketed by Apple that will be part of the twentieth generation of the iPhone. Created by Apple Inc., It is expected to be announced alongside an 'iPhone Ultra' at an Apple Event at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, on September 8, 2026?[3][4] It will be the first iPhone to be completely developed under the guidance of John Ternus and the last iPhone to be overseen by Tim Cook, and it will serve as the successor to the IPhone 17 Pro.

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will be the first iPhones to have a smaller "Dynamic Island" replacing the current "Dynamic Island" design that has been in use since the iPhone 14 Pro was introduced.[5] And the iPhone 18 Pro Max will be the first IPhone to feature variable aperture cameras.[6][7]

History

Price increase

In June 2026, The Wall Street Journal reported that the iPhone 18 Pro pricing has increased and the iPhone 18 Pro could start near $1,399.[8][9] Tim Cook stated that the company is not immune to soaring memory chip costs, and more clarification could arrive with the next iPhone in September 2026,[8][9] and suggested that Apple would need to increase device costs to maintain its current profit margins, given the cost of memory chips and SSDs.[10] Fellow companies like Nvidia and OpenAI are building AI server facilities, which may have caused the chip shortage and rising costs.[11] J.P. Morgan stated that iPhone price hike would not be more than $50,[12] and Fixed Focus Digital stated that it will definitely see a price hike adding that the foldable iPhone would be priced 10% to 20% than previously expected.[13] IDC predicts that the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max may see a $200 price increase.[14]

Data breach and iPhone 18 Pro leak

The A20 Pro, which would be used in the iPhone 18 Pro, was allegedly leaked in June 2026 adopting the Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module (WMCM) packaging.[15][16] In addition, the motherboard design for the iPhone 18 Pro, as well as information for the list of suppliers, parts, images, and videos of the unreleased iPhone 18 Pro prototype were leaked after confidential Apple files were leaked after a supplier cyberattack.[a]

Rumors and development

Many of the iPhone 18 Pro features and design changes were rumored before the announcement of the iPhone 17 Pro.[21][22] Reports as early as September 2025 suggested that the next iPhone would feature a smaller dynamic island.[23] Reports of the iPhone 18 Pro would later be known in December 2025 and January 2026 where the next iPhone would feature a under-screen Face ID,[24][25] and sizes for the smaller dynamic island were known.[26][27] In February 2026, trial production for the iPhone 18 Pro was started, suggesting that Apple had finalized its design and that the phone would enter early stages of manufacturing.[28] In March 2026, images were posted showing a prototype iPhone 18 Pro with a smaller dynamic Island.[29]

Multiple reports of the iPhone 18 Pro were reported In June 2026, ranging from supposed to be screen protectors,[30] to a larger camera module,[31][32] and pictures showing the iPhone 18 Pro's sim tray in a rumored color.[33] Battery capacities for the iPhone 18 Pro were also known.[34] In July 2026, battery capacities for the iPhone 18 Pro Max were leaked.[35][36] Mass production for the iPhone 18 Pro began to surface soon after, where Foxconn would ramp up hiring ahead of its unveiling.[37]

In August 2026, Tim Culpan reported that the DRAM, which would be used in the iPhone 18 Pro, was awaiting delivery, and that the phones would have limited availability upon launch.[38][39] A picture of an actual battery pack for the iPhone 18 Pro Max with a SIM card was leaked soon after, showing the exact battery capacity,[40] and references to the iPhone 18 Pro were revealed in the beta release of iOS 27.[41] Cases from a third-party manufacturer for the then-upcoming phones were also found, showing the listings for the iPhone 18 Pro cases at Best Buy, cross-compatible with the base model iPhone 17 Pro.[42][43]
