Leakers are going nuts about the iPhone 18 Pro models, but the latest gossip says not to expect a big visual shakeup. A source called Fixed Focus Digital on Weibo claims the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will look basically the same as the iPhone 17 versions, with only minor appearance changes. This contradicts earlier rumors about Apple ditching the Dynamic Island for a simpler hole-punch camera. The same tipster says trial production for these phones starts after Chinese New Year, aiming for a fall 2026 launch alongside a foldable iPhone, with cheaper models coming later.
If the rumors hold, the Pro models will keep their reported 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screen sizes. Inside is where the real upgrades might happen, including a new A20 Pro chip built on a two-nanometer process, Apple's own C2 modem, and a stainless steel vapor chamber for cooling. The cameras could get a three-layer stacked sensor and a variable aperture lens. They might also tweak the camera control button by removing its capacitive layer. For colors, Apple is apparently testing new shades like brown, purple, or burgundy for the Pro lineup. The standard iPhone 18 might see a RAM bump to twelve gigabytes.
