Rumours point to changes in design, camera hardware, and battery. Leaks also suggest that the Cupertino-based tech giant may introduce new colours and a transparent rear-panel finish.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Apart from this, the company is reportedly evaluating changes to Dynamic Island and internal components, including a new A-series chip, variable-aperture cameras, a larger battery, and enhanced connectivity. Here are the upgrades expected for the iPhone 18 Pro lineup.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max: Expected launch date<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Apple usually launches new iPhones in the fall, but reports indicate the iPhone 18 series may shift its timing. According to a report by Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman, Apple could split the launch of the iPhone 18 lineup. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, along with a possible foldable iPhone, may debut in September 2026, while the base iPhone 18 and other entry-level models could launch later between February and March 2027.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>A staggered release could let Apple prioritise premium models in the fall and introduce more affordable versions later. Apple has previously launched devices like the iPhone 16E and iPhone 17E in spring, making this shift plausible.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max: Expected specs and features<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>One design change in discussion is a subtle, transparent rear-glass finish on the iPhone 18 Pro models. Leaks from Weibo suggest Apple may unify the rear panel&#8217;s appearance, moving away from the current two-tone design.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Pro models may offer coffee brown, burgundy, purple, and deep red colours. Only one of these, possibly deep red, could reach production, according to leaks and reports.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Design leaks suggest Apple will keep the screen sizes\u20146.3 inches for the Pro and 6.9 inches for the Pro Max\u2014with only small changes to the camera bump.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Rumours suggest Apple could&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/technology\/mobiles-tabs\/iphone-18-pro-and-iphone-18-pro-max-models-may-come-with-a-transparent-finish-new-colours-and-other-changes-heres-what-to-expect\/articleshow\/129212223.cms\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models may come with a transparent finish,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":220907,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/thumb\/msid-129212368,width-1280,height-720,imgsize-19880,resizemode-6,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-600\/photo.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[81],"class_list":["post-220906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-iphone-18"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220906"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220906"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220906\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":220908,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220906\/revisions\/220908"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
