Rumors also suggest an upgraded 24MP front-facing camera, which may be housed within a smaller, redesigned Dynamic Island as Apple moves more Face ID components under the display. These upgrades are anticipated to arrive in September 2026, alongside a new A20 chip built on a 2nm process.<\/p>\n<p>News.Az\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBy Leyla  \u015eirinova\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.az\/news\/apple-leak-claims-major-iphone-18-pro-camera-upgrades-are-on-the-way\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple leak claims major iPhone 18 Pro camera upgrades are on the way https:\/\/news.az\/news\/apple-leak-claims-major-iphone-18-pro-camera-upgrades-are-on-the-way Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":234673,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/news.az\/photos\/2026\/04\/apple-iphone-17-pro-cosmic-orange-7-e1776933801844-1776947184.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[81],"class_list":["post-234672","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\/234672"}],"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=234672"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234672\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":234674,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234672\/revisions\/234674"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/234673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=234672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=234672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=234672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
