iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max launch with A20 Pro chip, 48MP camera, four colors

Apple launched the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max at its September 9 event, introducing the new A20 Pro chip built on a 2-nanometer process, a second neural engine, and four color options. The A20 Pro features a 6-core CPU with two performance and four efficiency cores, promising significant speed and power efficiency gains over last year's A19 Pro. The phones retain the prior design but with a smaller Dynamic Island cutout and a revised back panel finish. Apple positioned the devices as its most AI-capable iPhones yet, with the extra neural engine handling on-device tasks. The Pro Max reportedly offers the longest battery life of any iPhone, though pricing, camera specs, and storage details remain unannounced.
