Upgrade 1: Minor facelift and new colors as highlights

The design of iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will be the same as that of the iPhone 17 Pro series.

Following the cosmic orange last year, it is reported that a red wine color will be launched this year.

Upgrade 2: A20, C2 chip

The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to be the first to be equipped with the A20 chip of TSMC’s 2nm process. It is expected to have better performance and battery life than the previous 3nm process. In addition, through the self-developed C2 data chip, it can also reduce power consumption when connecting to the Internet and bring a more stable AirDrop and WiFi connection experience.

Upgrade 3: Variable aperture camera system, upgraded telephoto lens

“Bloomberg” has revealed that Apple’s camera system upgrade this year is the largest in recent years.

In terms of telephoto lenses, there will be a larger aperture value to increase the amount of light input when shooting.

Upgrade 4: Upgrade battery life again

According to current leaked information, the iPhone 18 Pro Max has a thicker body than the previous generation, which may imply that Apple has replaced it with a larger-capacity battery. If the energy consumption of the chip is reduced, the battery life may reach another peak.
