iPhone 18 Rumor Reality Check: 20 Claims Ranked by Likelihood

[Ctrlos]

Apple should roll out a lens upgrade for the regular and Air models. The 0.5x lens is good enough for a 1x crop so ditch the main 1x sensor and put in a 3x zoom lens in its place. This would allow for more flexibility whilst still maintaining the 2-lens array to differentiate it from the Pro lineup.

The absolutely highest ranked claim is that it will be the most powerful, most pro, most bestest iphone we've ever created. With magical new [insert marketing jargon] and incredible [marketing jargon] making the best phone, already light years ahead of the competion, even better.

The second ranked claim: We think you are going to love it.

lol it's so dumb how they announce every new phone feature as "the best ever"

Other than foldable iPhone and a new even higher tier of pro iPhone, there's not really much new or exciting. A Vision product for the masses would be a big deal, maybe by 2030.

18 pro max is looking like a beast of a phone.

18 air is shaping uo to be a great upgrade and the one I’m most excited for.

18 foldable is the wild card.

Now that iOS 27 will be able to share your phone number with another iPhone, I a large portion of iPhone users might just get a second or third iPhone.

One thing is certain with the increase in memory and storage prices Android is going to have a major downturn going into 2027.

Pretty exciting, all seem like good options.

As an Air convertite from a 15PM, I just can’t understand why if any added camera, it should be the useless ultrawide. Even the standard is too wide mostly. If anything, a tele. But preferably no added camera, I only need and want the one.

I’d rather get the lidar. But whatever they do, I hope they don’t bloat it with more stuff that make the Air larger or heavier. The whole USP for me is the minimalistic experience.

If I wanted or needed all the Pro stuff, I’d just buy the Pro phone.

I do 100% agree about the choice of lenses for the Air2. Tele is what’s needed

Waiting to see the new Pro models and the first foldable. Will be interesting to see how the final shade of the 'Cherry' color will be.

Yeah, I’m curious about the ‘cherry’ color myself. Some photos online look purplish and others look like a burgundy/deep red color.
