Apple is preparing to announce its latest smartphones, “iPhone 18 Pro” and “iPhone 18 Pro Max,” next September, as leaks continue to reveal the most prominent features and developments expected in this new generation.
Although there are no radical changes in design compared to the “iPhone 17 Pro” series, the phones are expected to include important technical improvements that make them the most powerful among iPhones so far. According to the “Phonearena” website report reviewed by “Al Arabiya Business”, here are the 7 most important expected upgrades:
Dynamic Island is smaller: Leaks indicate that Apple is planning to reduce the size of the Dynamic Island feature for the first time since its launch, by moving some components of Face ID to the bottom of the screen, which may reduce the area of the interactive island by up to 35%.
Variable aperture camera: The main camera will allow you to control the amount of light entering the sensor, which will contribute to improving depth of field and image quality in various lighting conditions, a step similar to professional cameras.
Apple A20 Pro 2nm processor: The phone will likely be powered by the new 2nm A20 Pro processor, offering better performance and higher power efficiency, as well as improvements in wireless connectivity thanks to the N2 chip.
Modem developed by Apple: The phone will come equipped with the new Apple C2 modem, which supports mmWave 5G networks with improved power consumption, and may provide 5G connectivity via satellite in some cases, reducing dependence on external suppliers.
Larger battery: The battery capacity is expected to reach 5200 mAh compared to 5088 mAh in the previous generation, which gives a noticeable improvement in battery life when combined with the more efficient processor.
New, bolder colors: The “Pro” series will be available in new colors such as brown, violet and burgundy, with a slight modification in the back design to increase the flow between the glass and metal frame and reduce the effect of the two-tone design.
Prices may remain unchanged: Despite the rise in component costs, Apple seeks to maintain the prices of the new generation at the level of the previous generation, which may give it a competitive advantage over companies such as Samsung, which has raised the prices of some of its leading phones.
In summary, if these leaks are true, the “iPhone 18 Pro” offers a combination of technical and design improvements without radical change, but they may be enough to entice users to upgrade to the new generation.
