TECH NEWS – The design is the same, but there are lots of changes inside the device, so we can hope for many innovations.

Production lines for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max reportedly underwent testing in December. According to the latest rumors, Apple is preparing to launch its two flagship models, as well as the iPhone Fold, in September. The Cupertino-based company is on schedule. According to an insider, trial production of the premium iPhone 18 models has begun, though he mentioned that buyers should not expect significant changes compared to the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models.

Fixed-Focus Digital Cameras reports that Apple has begun trial production of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Based on current information, the exterior casing or design of the product line is not expected to change. This means that both devices are expected to be released with a camera plateau, two-tone finish, and aluminum frame. As for the mass production schedule, an informant on Weibo named “Momentary Digital” says production will begin in July.

The A20 and A20 Pro are expected to represent a new threshold in performance and efficiency because these system-on-chips (SoCs) will be mass-produced using TSMC’s 2nm architecture. The in-house C2 5G modem will likely consume less power. According to an earlier rumor, the baseband chip will enable seamless satellite connectivity.

Numerous sources have reported that both flagship models will feature variable aperture technology, with the telephoto lens having a larger aperture. The iPhone 18 Pro Max’s battery capacity will be larger than that of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, resulting in longer battery life for Apple’s flagship model, for both eSIM and non-eSIM versions.

The big question, of course, is how much Apple will charge for the devices, given that the memory crisis affects smartphones as well. Smartphones require RAM and storage space, and Apple charges a huge premium for the latter.
