Five Sleeps Until iPhone 18 Pro: Here's What We Know

[toughboy]

Other manufacturers already began shipping phones with high density silicon batteries.. I wonder how many generations will the iPhone users will have to wait..

Main focus this year will be the price.

Can't work out if Tim's use of 'six sleeps' is whimsy or satire.

Regardless it's got peoples attention......😉

MacRumors is very effective in putting me to sleep.

I'm more interested to see what they do with the second gen Air, to be honest. I'm too tired to math out the number of sleeps that is.

I’m going to a music festival on Saturday, so only five sleeps away for me.

I take a nap every day, which makes it 12 sleeps away for me

6 sleeps... sounds like you're talking to a 3 year old.

Which is quite accurate for representing the rational thought for people who are purchasing the new 18 pro ..

Literally no reason at all for any of the 17 pro users to upgrade. But Apple sheep will be apple sheep.

No black color or dark neutral again? Really bad move…not just for the loyalists of black colored devices- but it removes an entire customer group from the equation- no adult business professional is going to carry around a purplish phone or a light blue one, and even in some cases white/silver is also a no go. I’ve bought black, space grey, graphite, Black Titanium color of every iPhone that’s released since the first CDMA black iPhone 4 on Verizon and this past year I went with a deep blue Pro. Not settling this year- if it’s silver, purple and light blue I just may order myself a Pixel 11 Pro in Obsidian black.

Not really interested in paying $150-$300 more for an 18 Pro in a color I don’t even like because aluminum is cheaper than titanium and we can’t have a black color because they scratch too easily. That’s ridiculous. Sorry for my rant I’m just annoyed. I’ll end up just getting a 17e 512 GB in black and calling it a day. Probably the closest thing to a modern day iPhone 4….

In my office they used to go for the cheapest models of iPhone which would include the 17e which does have black. I say used to because recently they’ve switched to Android phones.

‘Six sleeps’ is a cringey way to phrase it 🥴

Apple needs to return to the S naming convention for biennial iterations of the iPhone.

six sleeps... urgh. time to find a new website for apple news.

You’ve been a user since 2009. Something tells me that if you’re still here, you’ll be a sticking around further.

apple itself infantilizes its products with “memoji” or stupid child-looking AI imagery and magic rainbows and unicorns for a confused generation….. so there is that

 

[Steves Padawan]

5 days until Apple keynote
14 days until iPhone 18 Pro preorders
21 days until iPhone 18 Pro launch
25 days until Witcher 3 remaster
75 days until GTA 6 (Vice City)

Yep...mindless misuse of the English language just to sound trendy. MR should remove this writer from the staff. We are adults here.

There really isn't anything interesting coming to the 18 Pro that isn't already available.

Faster chip that no one can notice, brighter screen that no one can notice, and a camera feature that 99% of users won't ever use.

Still the same cheap weak design, same sizes, and higher prices.

Just grab a 17 Pro or iPhone Air and save yourself a fortune until the iPhone 20 next year.

 

[Yuuuki]

I was really really considering a Max but if this gets even more heavier and thicker... yeah ill probably stick with the normal Pro. But I am happy for everyone who gets this awesome battery life!

 

[Haiku_Oezu]

“Six sleeps away” bro just say six days 😭😭

(Jk it was pretty funny)

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

I had to read that title several times to understand what it meant.

 

[MN7119]

It will be at least 370 sleeps here. Easy pass on this one and will wait till next year.

 

[Rafagon]

Sleeps away? Americans will measure using anything except the metric system.

5 sleeps away. That's about 38 bananas away, right?

 

[topmounter]

dunno... not sure this is going to motivate me to finally replace my 13 Pro Max. I would have jumped on a 'flip' form factor foldable iPhone to go with my Samsung Flip7. If I do decide to pull the trigger it would be a Pro and not another Max.

Welcome to 2026, where no one thinks growing up is necessary or desirable.

Right there with "Adulting", another thing adults should be embarrassed to say to anyone over 12.

 

[Jimmy James]

I’m amazed at the lack of interest in variable aperture. A PASM camera in your phone. It’s one of the most compelling features of any iPhone release.
