Leaks emerge: Bad news for those expecting a revolution in the iPhone 18 Pro

New claims regarding the iPhone 18 Pro series, which Apple is expected to introduce in the fall, may lower the expectations of users waiting for the device. According to leaks, the company is positioning the new series more as a "transition year" rather than a major leap forward.

As reported by Webtekno, recent information indicates that the iPhone 18 Pro will stand out primarily with its new color option. It is stated that the deep wine-red tone, referred to as "Dark Cherry," will be one of the striking design elements in the Pro models. However, the claims suggest that the series' main promise of innovation may remain largely limited to this visual change.

It is rumored that the expected more comprehensive design and screen innovations may not arrive this year. It is suggested that the full-performance under-display Face ID technology has been postponed to 2027, which coincides with the 20th anniversary of the iPhone. Expectations that the Dynamic Island will shrink are also claimed to be pushed back to at least the iPhone 19 series.

Nevertheless, the iPhone 18 series is not expected to be completely devoid of innovation. The claims include a main camera with a variable aperture, an A20 Pro processor produced using a 2-nanometer manufacturing process, and a more powerful battery approaching the 5,200 mAh level.

However, it is noted that the most remarkable innovation on the camera side may be kept exclusive to the top-tier Pro Max model. In this scenario, users who prefer the standard iPhone 18 Pro may have to settle for an experience close to last year's camera hardware.

No official statement has been made by Apple regarding the matter. Therefore, the final specifications of the iPhone 18 Pro will become clear at the company's launch event. Still, current leaks indicate that the new series may stand out with limited hardware updates and a new color option rather than radical changes.
