I'm sure they'll still change the overall size or button/camera hump layout just enough to ensure iPhone 17 Pro cases no longer fit

Woo-hoo! Tim sure wasn't kidding when he said this was the strongest pipeline ever! Fresh on the heels of the ALL NEW iPhone 17e, Apple is ramping-up production of the ALL NEW iPhone 18 Pro. This year, Apple takes the best-in-class Pro series to a whole new level, featuring game-changing features like the ALL NEW Siri. Siri, now powered by the groundbreaking Apple Intelligence, features more personalization than ever before, all the while maintaining the privacy Apple is known for. This truly is the iPhone for pros! Apple thinks you're gonna love it.

One more thing....

There, I think we about covered the announcement this fall. Who's ready to start talking about the iPhone 19?

I'm that way with my 16 Pro.

Wish I had 15 Pro, actually, since it it's lighter.

same here with my 16 pro. Zero features worthy of upgrade and last best Ti/Glass design. iOS 18 is icing on the cake

Love red!! If foldable phone had not been planned to be released, I certainly would have planned to get red iPhone promax! Red is so attractive!

 

[darkcompass]

And there I was thinking I might move to a Pro next year. :/
Slight design changes don't cut it for me. A smaller dynamic Island .... Smaller Camera Button ....

It would be so on-brand for Apple to release a bad color but pease tell me this isn't the shade of "red' they'll be going with...

 

[Wizec]

Actually, it will be called the iPhone 18 instead of 17, so that's 13 new features!

The best feature they could launch with the 18 Pro is to bring back the Black color way. Pro phones need to come in black!

Can’t really tell the color of my phone since I use a case.

• 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch Display Sizes: The next Pro models are expected to have the same overall design as the iPhone 17 Pro models, including 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch display sizes and a "plateau" housing three rear cameras.

Why are you listing it as a new feature then? It's like saying there's a new kind of glass that's transparent. A new kind of wheel that's round.

True, however 10-15% of iPhone owners don't use a case.

• Doesn't fold: Premium glass screen is always ready for easy and quick access.

Not a new feature though.

Coagulated blood. And we think you're going to love it!

Its beauty will stop you cold.

We can tell the color by the camera bump 🙂)

Welcome to MacRumors

They’re just doing their job

 

[JeziLondon]

Will I move on from my 14PM? Or can I hold out another year for the XX? 🤔

This is a classic S year, wait until next year like me 😊

You’re absolutely right, many rumors point to it getting slightly thicker

 

[Adamj53]

That's innovating....

 

[Pudlo]

and no AI 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 in 2026 🤣🤣🤣

 

[Hogswarts]

Lots of assumptions about where the world will be in 6 months.

 

[indychris]

How is “same overall design” a new feature?

Some people are just unaesthetic cynics who can't appreciate the fact that the 'same overall design' of the iPhone 18 perfectly complements the Fun Silver of the MacBook Neo. It's going to drastically inspire multi-device purchases by the millions! Sheesh!

 

[HaHaRich!]

I don't think I'm ever going to believe a "They are going to move X under the screen" rumors again. Been hearing this rumor since at least 2006 https://gizmodo.com/apple-patents-screen-with-camera-inside-display-169886 It's Apple's Cold Fusion, almost ready, just perpetually 20 years away 🤣

I feel like we've reached the limit of what I need in my pocket in terms of a Phone. I still have my iPhone 15 Pro and still can't think of a single reason to upgrade it.

Yeah I usually upgrade every three years but my 15 is holding up really well.

A smaller Dynamic Island? Not exactly as impactful as the migration to USB C charging from lightning.

How is this a new feature? What are we doing here MR with these articles lately.

Well are they not supposed to round the edges of the plateau to prevent scratch gate?

Everything under the display and usb 3.2+ and le audio hearing aid support are my must. Thinner bezels have been reached.

But these next phones will be intermediaries. iPhone 17 was the major overall. As they hack away at the under-display problem.

I'm disappointed the rumors have dropped the possible 3D camera sensor. I want more dynamic range!
