But that’s not it there’s more to this complete series that Apple has kept secret.
Today, you and us will explore all those rumors about the iPhone 18 series that both international and Pakistani Apple fans are talking about. And do not mistake that we’ll only tell you about the basic or fake rumors, we’ll also inform you when they are gonna be released and when Pakistani users can buy them. So, let’s not waste anymore time and explore what we can expect from this latest iPhone lineup.
Is iPhone 18 Not Coming This Year?
This is currently the most famous rumor about the iPhone 18 and sadly we have to say that it’s true. Apple is not releasing the standard iPhone 18 and the iPhone 18e models this year. For the 18 series Apple is following a split launch strategy and according to this strategy, we’ll get iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max and the brand-new foldable iPhone this year in September 2026. As of the standard or more affordable models, fans have to wait till the spring of 2027!
Does iPhone 18 Pro Max & 17 Pro Max Have the Same Design?
Another thing people are asking about is that the iPhone 18 Pro Max design is going to be the same as the 17 Pro Max. This rumor is partially true! The pro models of the 18 series are going to follow the same triple lens rear camera plateau of 17 pro models but there are going to be some changes. Apple might have decided to slim down the dynamic island on the front of the Pro models or might not provide dynamic island at all.
We might get to see the punch hole cutout at the top left corner of their screens. Moreover, the 18 Pro Max may be thicker and heavier than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The rumored thickness is 8.8mm and weight is 240 grams; these changes are very small, they can be true. Also, the iPhone 18 Pro models might not come with the two-tone look as Apple has reportedly updated their glass back to minimize the color difference of aluminum and glass frames.
Are We Getting New Colors in the iPhone 18 Series?
Apple has majorly marketed the new colors for their iPhones previous year and its same for the current year too. Yes, the rumor is true that we are getting new colors but they are again limited to the pro models only. According to the rumors, Apple is trying a deep red finish with the pro models this year but it seems more like a dark cherry color with a hint of purple. Along with this we might get to see light blue, silver and dark gray colors which are similar to already existing ones.
Will iPhone 18 Pro Models Have Bigger Screens?
It almost never happens that Apple will decrease the screen size of their Pro Models and we think making them even bigger might be cumbersome. So, the rumors about increase in screen size are fake. According to trusted sources, the display size of iPhone 18 Pro Max and Pro will be the same as iPhone 17 Pro models. And we can also expect upgraded LTPO+ display technology in the 18 Pro models which is rumored to be more efficient than the LTPO display in the current iPhone 17 Pro models.
Can we Expect a Bigger Battery in iPhone 18 Pro Max?
Fans are always concerned about the battery capacity of iPhones and they ask the same question with every new iPhone release; does it come with a bigger battery than the previous ones? For the current iPhone 17 series Apple showed notable battery and power efficiency improvements and we can expect the same with the new lineup. We can’t say anything about the base models but the Pro models are definitely going to be equipped with bigger batteries and a smarter battery management system due to the 2-nanometer A20 chip. Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max battery capacity is expected to be increased to 4,288mAh but only in the eSIM models, for Pakistani physical SIM models this capacity can be 4,056mAh.
Is Apple Using New Chips for iPhone 18 Series?
This rumor is also very true that Apple is introducing new chipsets for the complete iPhone 18 lineup. The names of those chips are A20 and A20 Pro! These chipsets are reported to use TSMC’s 2nm process for enhanced power and efficiency. This upgrade from 3nm to 2nm allows Apple to add more transistors to each chip for a marvelous boost in performance. These latest A20 chips are reported to be 15% faster and 30% more efficient than A19 and A19 Pro chips of iPhone 17 and iPhone Air.
The A20 chips are expected to come with TSMC’s Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module (WMCM) technology. According to the WMCM technology the RAM will not be connected separately to the chip with silicon interposer instead it will be integrated on the same wafer where CPU, GPU and Neural Engine are present. Moreover, you can expect the whole series to be equipped with Apple’s next-generation C2 modem chip to enhance the connectivity.
Can We Expect Any Upgrade in the Camera System?
Yes, you can expect the iPhone 18 pro models to have variable aperture which is first in any iPhone till this day. The main camera system will be the 48MP Fusion camera setup, which is also sometimes called Main or Wide sensor in previous models. The variable aperture feature will allow the users to control the light amount that passes through the lens and reaches the sensor.
In previous Pro models like 14, 15 and 16 the aperture is fixed and always open but now users will have more control over it and will be able to shoot DSLR level photos and videos. Also, you can expect at least one iPhone 18 Pro model to have a new three-layer stacked image sensor provided by Samsung. Apple has collaborated with Samsung to develop more advanced image sensors to cut down the noise, increase dynamic range and do much more amazing things.
Final Verdict
With these iPhone 18 rumors you can get an idea how incredibly Apple is designing the upcoming series and how innovative they want their pro models to be. By understanding these features, we have told you about today you’ll get the idea what the new iPhone series have for you and which kind of model you should choose.
