Cupertino giant Apple is gearing up to launch its next flagship phone, the iPhone 18 Pro, in September. Leaks suggest the launch date could be in the first week of September 2026, between September 4 and September 9. Ahead of the launch, the new iPhone has already entered mass production to meet expected demand. A live image of the iPhone 18 Pro box in a new Sky Blue colour surfaced online, revealing a new triple-camera setup and a bigger display. It will be powered by the latest and world’s first 2nm-based mobile processor, the A20 Pro chipset. However, reports suggest the iPhone 18 Pro could see a slight price increase amid the memory crunch.
If you are eagerly waiting for the next iPhone 18 Pro model as an upgrade, we have you covered with everything you need to know about this upcoming iPhone flagship.
As Apple prepares to launch its next-generation flagship phone, new leaks reveal a real image of the iPhone 18 Pro box showing a new triple-camera setup, slight design changes, and new colour options.
On the design-and-build side, the iPhone 18 Pro models and the standard iPhone 18 will have an aluminum frame.
You will also see slight design changes, including a rectangular module on the rear with a triple camera setup. On the front, there will be a smaller punch hole and new colour options.
Processor, RAM, and Storage
Inside, the phone will be powered by the latest and world’s first 2nm-based A20 Pro chipset, one of the most efficient and powerful chipsets available to date.
Alongside the new A20 Pro chipset, we will get faster RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage.
Display
On the front, the iPhone 18 Pro will have a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED panel with ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate support.
The top-end iPhone 18 Pro Max will have a 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED panel with the same 120Hz ProMotion support.

Camera
On the camera end, we speculate a new triple-camera setup on the rear, housed in a rectangular module.
It will have a main 48MP sensor rumored to support a variable aperture between f/1.4 and f/4.0, allowing users to control the amount of light hitting the image sensor.
Alongside the main sensor, we speculate on a newly improved 48MP ultrawide-angle sensor that will offer a wider field of view, and a third 48MP telephoto sensor with 4x optical zoom.
On the front, we will get an 18MP selfie shooter with Center Stage support.

Two months ago, Apple increased the prices of its iPads, Macs, and home products. Although Apple skipped a price hike this time, we may still see a slight increase. Apple will absorb some costs, which could impact profit margins for a while.
Apple’s price hike might cause disruptions, but the recently launched new lease program, which allows customers to make monthly payments to own a new Apple product, could soften the impact.
According to leaks, the iPhone 18 Pro models might see a $100 price hike, suggesting the iPhone 18 Pro will start at Rs 1,50,000, while the iPhone 17 Pro launched last year at Rs 1,34,900.

It is speculated to have a greaseless display with powerful features. However, leaks hint that the new foldable might skip a “Telephoto camera” on the rear and will be priced possibly around $2000, nearly Rs 1,90,000.
