Every fall, the Pro models take center stage with the best and most advanced features, while the base model offers features from previous Pro generations at a more affordable price.<\/p>\n<p>But if the rumors are true, this year\u2019s iPhone lineup will be quite different. For the first time, the Pro models won\u2019t be the stars of the show\u2014that\u2019ll fall to Apple\u2019s first folding phone. However, even though the iPhone 18 Pro won\u2019t be the one to dominate the headlines, it\u2019ll still be the phone everyone rushes to buy.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-the-rumors-say-about-the-iphone-18-pro\">What the rumors say about the iPhone 18 Pro<\/h2>\n<p>Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman has repeatedly reported that the iPhone 18 Pro \u201cwon\u2019t be a big update,\u201d and will be comparable to the \u201cS\u201d phones of old. But that doesn\u2019t mean Apple won\u2019t include some notable new features.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to the latest rumors, both phones are expected to have a smaller Dynamic Island, giving slightly more screen space for content when no Live Activity is in use.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to have a smaller Dynamic Island cutout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCredit\">Britta O\u2019Boyle<\/p>\n<p>The new iPhone 18 Pro models are also expected to feature the A20 Pro chip, which will reportedly be the first based on 2-nanometer architecture.
