iPhone 18 Pro launching in 2 months: Apple’s next iPhone launch is only two months away, and people are getting excited.

While Apple hasn’t shared any official details yet, leaks and rumours continue to surface.

iPhone 18 Pro Launching in 2 Months: Launch Date, Features and Price Leaks

Here’s what we know so far about the iPhone 18 Pro: it should have bigger batteries, the new A20 Pro chip, camera improvements, a sleeker design, new colour choices, and possibly higher prices.

Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max at its usual September event.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the keynote might happen on Tuesday, September 8, or Wednesday, September 9, 2026, with September 9 being more likely.

This schedule would give international media a travel day after the US Labour Day holiday.

iPhone 18 Pro Specifications

Gurman also says the new iPhones will likely be available in stores and start shipping on Friday, September 18, 2026.

You might be wondering why there’s so much attention on the iPhone 18 Pro series. Rumours suggest Apple could split its iPhone launch this year.

The standard iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and the next iPhone Air are expected in early 2027, so September’s event will probably focus on the Pro models and the foldable iPhone.

iPhone 18 Pro Design

iPhone 18 Pro launching in 2 months: If you’re hoping for a complete redesign, it might not deliver one.

Most leaks say Apple will keep the familiar flat edges and triple-camera setup.

Still, the design should look a bit sleeker, with a more seamless back panel that reduces the two-tone look of current Pro models.

The camera module might be a little larger, and leaked supplier info suggests the Pro models could be thicker than before.

This extra thickness would allow for bigger batteries and better vapour-chamber cooling.

iPhone 18 Pro Rumoured to Debut in ‘Dark Cherry’

The Pro lineup is expected to come in a new Dark Cherry finish, which could be this year's signature colour.

Other rumoured options include Light Blue, Silver, and Dark Grey, though Apple may still make changes before the official launch.

On the front, Apple is expected to keep the same display sizes: 6.3 inches for the iPhone 18 Pro and 6.9 inches for the iPhone 18 Pro Max.

The bigger change might be at the top of the screen. Some reports say Apple is working on a smaller Dynamic Island, possibly by moving some Face ID parts under the display.

While some sources think under-display Face ID could arrive this year, others believe Apple will just make the cut-out smaller instead of removing it completely.

iPhone 18 Pro Battery

iPhone 18 Pro launching in 2 months: The new models are also expected to have a more power-efficient LTPO+ OLED display for better battery life.

Inside, the iPhone 18 Pro models will probably use Apple’s new A20 Pro chip, made with TSMC’s advanced 2nm process.

This chip should offer faster performance, better gaming, improved battery life, and much stronger on-device AI features. Battery life is expected to be one of the biggest upgrades this year.

Recent leaks suggest the iPhone 18 Pro Max could have a battery between 5,391mAh and 5,567mAh, with some sources mentioning a 5,500mAh battery.

Other reports say Apple might use different battery sizes depending on the market and whether the phone uses a physical SIM or only eSIM.

This could make the phones a bit thicker and heavier, with the Pro Max reportedly weighing about 240g.

iPhone 18 Pro Camera

The iPhone 18 Pro has a triple 48-megapixel camera setup but upgrades the internal hardware.

The new models will likely get a variable-aperture lens, giving users more control over depth of field and low-light photos.

Apple iPhone 18 Pro is also rumoured to add a brighter telephoto camera, a new stacked image sensor, and an upgraded 24-megapixel front camera across most of the lineup.

The Camera Control button may also be redesigned to use only pressure-sensitive controls, rather than combining capacitive and pressure inputs.

For connectivity, Apple is expected to introduce its next-generation C2 modem, which should offer faster speeds and better power efficiency.

iPhone 18 Pro AI features: The Pro models might also support more advanced satellite capabilities beyond emergency messaging, as well as Apple's new Siri and the latest AI features.

iPhone 18 Pro Price in India

iPhone 18 Pro A20 Pro chip: Pricing is expected to be a big topic this year.

Reports say Apple’s manufacturing costs are rising due to the new 2nm chip, more expensive memory, larger batteries, and better camera hardware.

Some estimates suggest certain storage options could be up to $200 more expensive.

Apple hasn’t confirmed anything yet, but reports indicate prices may go up by about Rs 5,000 for the Pro models.

If that happens, the iPhone 18 Pro could start at around Rs 1,39,900, and the iPhone 18 Pro Max may start at around Rs 1,54,900.
