lifehacker.com

Apple announced the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max at its September 2026 event, featuring a new A20 Pro chip, variable aperture cameras, and a starting price of $1,199. The Pro models retain last year's design with 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays, now using more efficient LPTO+ technology. The A20 Pro chip, built on 2nm technology, promises faster performance and 36-45 hours of video battery life. Cameras gain variable apertures for better low-light shots and depth-of-field control, plus new Pro Controls for manual settings. New color options include Burgundy, Glacier, and Silver. Preorders begin September 12, with sales starting September 18. The price increase reflects industry-wide memory costs.
