iPhone 18 Pro Design, Colours, Specifications, Cameras, Features: Everything To Expect in 2026
The iPhone 18 Pro is tipped to have major upgrades over the iPhone 17 Pro - a smaller Dynamic Island, new camera sensor, a variable aperture lens, and Apple’s new A20 Pro chip, and a lot more. From colours, specifications to expected release, here is everything that you should know.

IPhone 18 Pro Design and Display
The iPhone 18 Pro lineup is expected to retain the same design as the iPhone 17 Pro, with a familiar triple-camera setup and a raised rear module. Display sizes will likely remain 6.3 inches for the Pro and 6.9 inches for the Pro Max, both with ProMotion OLED panels. The iPhone 18 Pro is also tipped to launch in brown, purple, and burgundy colours.

Smaller Dynamic Island Maybe
Apple could further shrink the Dynamic Island, though complete removal seems unlikely in 2026. Some leaks suggest a pinhole camera or under-display Face ID, while others claim Apple will keep a slimmer version before fully moving to an all-screen design.

A20 Pro Chipset
Based on the trend so far, the iPhone 18 Pro could get the Apple’s A20 Pro chip. It may not bring huge CPU or GPU gains, but will focus on AI performance using CoWoS packaging technology, improving memory and Neural Engine integration for faster on-device Apple Intelligence tasks.

Next Gen C2 Modem
The iPhone 18 Pro will likely feature Apple’s C2 modem, replacing the Qualcomm-based chip used earlier. The new modem promises better 5G speeds, improved power efficiency, and mmWave 5G support in the U.S., reducing Apple’s reliance on external modem suppliers.

New Camera Sensor
Apple is expected to use a new Samsung three-layer stacked image sensor to improve detail, reduce noise, and enhance dynamic range. The main 48MP camera could also feature a variable aperture, allowing users to manually control light and depth of field.
68
5G Satellite Internet Support
Apple is reportedly working on 5G satellite internet support for the iPhone 18 Pro series. If ready by 2026, users could experience satellite-based full internet connectivity, not just emergency SOS.

Simplified Camera Control Button Expected
Apple may simplify the Camera Control button design to cut costs. Instead of using both capacitive and pressure sensors, it could rely solely on pressure recognition while maintaining all existing functions for focus, zoom, and shutter control.

IPhone 18 Pro Launch
Apple is reportedly changing its iPhone release strategy. The iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and the first iPhone Fold are expected in September 2026, while the iPhone 18 and 18e could arrive later in spring 2027.
