Rumored — not yet announced. Apple has not confirmed Apple iPhone 18 Pro or any specification on this page. Everything below is drawn from leaker and analyst reporting, cited to its original source in our news coverage. Last updated 2026-08-26; this page will be rebuilt with confirmed specs once Apple officially announces the device.
Apple iPhone 18 Pro
Expected to announce September 2026 (expected — unconfirmed as of publication) · Expected release September 2026 (expected — unconfirmed as of publication)
What's rumored so far
Apple's next Pro-tier iPhone is expected to add Apple's first-ever variable-aperture camera (though recent leaks suggest this may be exclusive to the larger Pro Max), and move to a 2-nanometer A20 Pro chip — Apple's first chip built on TSMC's new N2 process. An early-2026 leak claimed a return to titanium, but more recent, better-corroborated reporting points to an aluminum frame for both Pro models, with titanium reportedly reserved for other devices in Apple's 2026 lineup instead. None of this is confirmed; Apple has not announced this device.
Sourcing quality varies a lot by spec on this page. The 2nm A20 Pro chip and titanium chassis are corroborated across multiple independent leakers with strong track records. The exact display cutout size, RAM ceiling, and battery capacity all have genuinely conflicting reports from otherwise-credible sources — we've noted the disagreement rather than picking one number to look more authoritative than the leaks actually are.

Rumored specifications
Every row below is unconfirmed. Where sources disagree, we've noted the disagreement in the note rather than presenting one figure as settled.
Display
Size
6.27–6.3 inches (rumored)Consistent across sources — least controversial part of the display story
Panel
LTPO OLED, 1–120Hz ProMotion (rumored)Expected to carry over from iPhone 17 Pro largely unchanged
Front cutout
Smaller Dynamic Island (rumored)Most-corroborated version: only the flood illuminator moves under-display; dot projector, IR camera, and selfie camera stay in a smaller pill cutout. A full hole-punch redesign was reported by one outlet in Dec. 2025 but has since been contested.
Camera
Main
48MP, Sony IMX905 sensor (rumored)Variable aperture support leaked for this sensor — but a more recent, more detailed leak suggests it may be Pro Max-exclusive. See our dedicated coverage.
Ultrawide / Telephoto
Reportedly carried over unchanged from iPhone 17 ProUnconfirmed
Performance
Chipset
Apple A20 Pro (rumored)Apple's first chip on TSMC's 2nm (N2) process, using gate-all-around transistors — a genuine architectural shift, not just a smaller node
Packaging
WMCM (Wafer-level Multi-Chip Module) — rumored
Performance gain
15–18% faster than A19 Pro (leakers disagree on the exact figure)
RAM
12GB rumored baseline; one report suggests up to 16GB for on-device Apple IntelligenceNot confirmed — current iPhone 17 Pro ships with 8GB
Battery
Capacity
4,288mAh per one Chinese regulatory filing reported by MacRumorsGenuinely disputed — this is the smaller-phone figure from a filing that also gave the Pro Max a much larger, separately-reported number. Under 1% growth over the iPhone 17 Pro if accurate.
Design
Chassis
Aluminum (rumored)A March 2026 leak claimed a return to titanium, but more recent (August 2026) reporting — corroborated across multiple sources — says both Pro tiers keep the aluminum frame introduced on the iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max, with titanium reportedly reserved for other 2026 models instead. The more recent, better-corroborated claim is reflected here.
Capture Button
Upgraded with gesture input support (rumored)
Ports
USB 4 Gen 3 (rumored)
Colors
Dark Cherry, Light Blue, Black, SilverSourced to physical dummy units (Sonny Dickson, May 2026) — CNC-machined from Apple's own CAD files, one of the more reliable leak formats, though final color saturation can still shift before launch
Connectivity
Modem
Apple C2 (rumored)Apple's second in-house modem, reportedly the first to support NR-NTN — standardized 5G satellite data, not just emergency SOS texting
Satellite
NR-NTN 5G satellite data (rumored)Depends on Globalstar upgrading its own satellite network — this is a real external dependency, not just an Apple engineering question
Storage
Base tier
256GB (rumored unchanged)Sourced to TrendForce, a supply-chain research firm — a credible source reporting no change is a less dramatic but more trustworthy leak than most
1TB/2TB tiers
Possible switch to slower QLC NAND flashSingle-sourced (leaker "Reptalica" via WCCFTech) — treat with real skepticism; a similar storage-downgrade rumor circulated before a past iPhone generation and did not pan out
