According to the announced plan, Apple will launch its new product lines at an event taking place at 0:00 on September 10 (Vietnam time). Some iPhone lines will reach the first customers on September 18.
iPhone 18 Pro is one of the most noticed products in the upcoming launch. It is expected that this new high-end iPhone model will have a screen size of 6.3 inches, use A20 Pro chip, 4,288 mAh battery, weigh 206 grams...
Technology magazine Tom's Guide has given notable comparisons between iPhone 18 Pro and its predecessor iPhone 17 Pro, based on rumors about configuration and price.
Price
Last year, the iPhone 17 Pro model with basic configuration (256GB) had a starting price of 999 USD/piece. However, this year, according to experts, Apple may increase the price of its Pro models this year due to increased memory and component costs.
Analysts predict that the price of the iPhone 18 series may increase from 100 to 200 USD depending on the version and storage configuration. Therefore, it is possible that the iPhone 18 Pro will have a higher starting price than its predecessor.
Design and screen
Both iPhone Pro models have similar screen sizes, the most notable design change may be on the front. According to sources, Apple is researching a smaller Dynamic Island for iPhone 18 Pro, freeing up a little more display space.
The screen of the iPhone 18 Pro is rumored to receive effective upgrades through the newer LTPO+ technology, bringing better outdoor brightness and saving energy compared to the standard LTPO XDR OLED panel on the iPhone 17 Pro.
The color palette will be a noticeable change in these two product lines. iPhone 17 Pro is very recognizable thanks to the cosmic orange shell, but rumors say that iPhone 18 Pro will have a slightly more elegant color.
iPhone 18 Pro (and 18 Pro Max) are likely to have dark cherry red and light blue options rumored for this year's product line. Other color options may include silver and dark gray.
Camera system
The camera system may be the biggest upgrade on iPhone 18. While iPhone 17 Pro owns an impressive 48MP main lens with a fixed f/1.78 aperture along with a 48MP ultra-wide lens and 48MP telephoto lens, iPhone 18 Pro promises to take mobile photography to a new level.
According to sources, Apple is equipping the iPhone 18 Pro with a main camera with a changed aperture. This will allow users to control the depth of field and the amount of light shining on the sensor at the hardware level, far surpassing the digital portrait blur effect that we have used for many years.
In addition, there is a new layered image sensor that helps improve dynamic range and noise reduction performance in low light conditions, and iPhone 18 Pro can become an undisputed champion for smartphone photography enthusiasts.
However, there is also information that the changed aperture may only be for the Pro Max version. This can only be confirmed at the upcoming launch.
