The next iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max is going to look like. So, with the new model coming early this September, obviously you should wait in case you’re planning on buying one. The big difference here, obviously the colorways.
So, the flagship color, this one’s going to be in a dark cherry, dark red, almost burgundy. Still available in four colorways now. The dark red, a light blue, silver/white as well as a dark gray/black.
It’s also going to be slightly thicker, so it’s now going to be 8.8 mm, but that gives you two extra things. So, a slightly bigger battery, around like 5,500 milliamps. That thickness will also help with the camera because for the first time we’re going to get a variable aperture on the main camera. So, still 48 megapixels across the board, but that switches between F1.6 to F4. You’re going to get a smaller dynamic island. We’re going to get the updated A18 Pro chip on the inside. It’s now 2 nanometer.
And unfortunately, just like all Apple devices, it is going to increase in price. So, around like 1299 to 1399 for the base model. Unfortunate, but what piece of tech hasn’t gone up in price in the past year?
