iPhone 18 Pro Already Rumored to Have These Seven New Features

[darngooddesign]

It's cute that Apple thinks dropping a new phone every year is still going to work out for them, in this economy.

Apple isn't counting on everyone upgrading every year, although some people with the Next plans do, the yearly new phones are for people upgrading after a couple of years.

If the Face ID sensor does in fact get placed under the screen, I hope they keep the multitasking functionality of the Dynamic Island in some way. Not necessarily keeping a replacement 'digital pill' on screen at all times, but a new way of doing/seeing more with iOS.

Dynamic Island can work the same even if the pill is just a circle.

Still nothing worthwhile..

Under the screen FaceID is very possible but don't think Apple will go for a cutout in one corner of the screen. Expecting the hole punch to be right in the center of the display. Expecting a 2nm chip with some improvements to the camera. Waiting to hear more rumors about the future iPhones!

Another year with the 13PM I guess.

Good, you can save money by not upgrading.

Why? Presumably it'll incorporate an AI software eye contact fix for the off-centre placement.

I have seen implementations of such technique and it always looks uncanny to me. Even Apple’s eye contact FaceTime feature looked spooky, at least when it first came out c. 2022? I don’t know how it looks now as I keep it deactivated on my devices.

I wonder if the original headline here was...

iPhone 17 Pro's Seven New Rumored Features Now Delayed until iPhone 18 Pro.​

Just change the model number and keep the "new" features the same.

The day I actually see an iPhone with vapor chamber cooling is the day I buy pumpkin futures. They've been going up the whole month of October. I've got a feeling they're gonna peak right around January and BANG! That's when I'll cash in!

Cancelled my iPhone 17 preorder.

I'm a yearly upgrade person, with some rare exceptions. The iPhone 17 line is likely a pass for me, but if Apple slaps 16GB of RAM on the iPhone 18 Pro along with all these features, I will definately upgrade from the iPhone 16PM.

 

[acader]

WOW!!! 18 rumors when 17 is still a few months away.

Leaks are almost getting too good. Nearly half a year before the 17 comes out, and not only do we know every detail of it, and there have been countless dumby model hands on

There is nothing new here. Living under a rock

Dummy phones have ALWAYS been available, as they are designed for case manufacturers. The leaks have also never changed..you cannot have numerous people working on a handset and excpect details to not leak. From Apple staff to manufacturers. Things haven't changed.

No trolling, apple fanboy here, but Samsung looking better everyday. I HATE TO SAY IT.

Still waiting for under display Touch ID…
Face is very poor still. The angle a soooo limited children and twins unlock other devices. Touch ID does not have those security problems.

Apple innovation feels 8 years old.

 

[nhbone]

Their nm references are just marketing? 🤨

What about support for the Apple Pencil?

What about support for the Apple Pencil?

Since there's no place to magnetically charge/pair the pencil, the buttons sticking out wold interfere with that, just get one of the many excellent 3rd party pencils.

So, we have already reached 1’ sensors, but what’s next? Would it be possible to squeeze micro four thirds into smartphone?🤔

The sensor size for iPhone is not 1”, or is it?
With that I also don’t think a variable aperture makes sense at this point. With the small sensors like in an iPhone, the depth of field is pretty wide already. That’s why they had to introduce portrait mode.
You simply don’t have the issue of a “too shallow” depth of field on an iPhone.
