iPhone 18 Pro: Camera sensor upgrade and two different modems practically confirmed by major Apple-leak

Given the extensive Tata leak, we can now safely assume that Apple will not only upgrade the main camera of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max with a variable aperture but also a completely new image sensor. The 630 GB data leak also indicates a regionally very different modem strategy for...

iPhone 18 With 9GB RAM Still Won't Support Two New iOS 27 Features

Price is going to be through the roof. Probably $200+ more per model based on recent price adjustments due to the cost of RAM.

You would think Apple have the supply chain muscle to influence prices, I mean they sell 200m+ units a year. $200 is a **** ton money to add onto a device.

I will probably be skipping this one for me personally but may get my fiancée an 18 Pro, while I stick to my 17 Pro Max. Her 13 Pro Max has served her well but it’s time for an upgrade now and she wants a smaller phone.

What I am hoping for is that the 18 Pro comes with the variable aperture just like the 18 Pro Max is supposed to…seems to be likely going by the rumours.

Some very interesting changes that make a nice step up.

Smaller notch.
Variable aperture.
Bigger battery, especially on the eSIM only model.
Better modem.
TSMC 2nm CPU

BUT iOS 27 is making older phones better and next year is the 20th anniversary iPhone (XX?) with a brand new design, so that makes it super easy to skip. You should only be getting this one if your phone dropped and broke or you get a new iPhone every year anyway.

If the foldable iPhone materialises it would make for a pretty interesting choice. I miss the sub-6" phone genre so a foldable with ~5.5" or so screen size on the outside would be bliss for me.
