The yet-to-be-revealed iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are said to be incremental upgrades from the current iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman states that this year’s Pro models “won’t be a big update.”
In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Gurman took time to discuss CarPlay within Tesla vehicles but also touched on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max as well. In the newsletter, Gurman notes that this year’s iPhone 18 Pro devices will “represent minor tweaks from last year’s iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max.”
Gurman goes on to compare the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max as the “S” models Apple used to release. Back in the iPhone 4 through iPhone 6 era, Apple released a new “S” model the year following the flagship. The iPhone 6s, for instance, offered the same bells and whistles as the flagship iPhone 6s but offered minor upgrades and refinements to design and the chipset.
iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max appear to be following the same philosophy. While not offering any major upgrades, Gurman still believes that the new devices will be refined. It’s claimed that both models will offer a new camera system with a variable aperture. It’s also rumoured that the devices will feature Face ID sensors underneath the display. Under the hood, the devices may support Apple’s new A20 processor and custom C2 modems. Reports note that the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will be revealed in September this year.
While Apple will emphasize the release of the two new Pro models, they certainly won’t be the star of the show. Instead, it’s believed that Apple’s first foldable iPhone will steal the spotlight. Reports claim the device will feature a nearly crease-free 7.8-inch inner display with a 5.5-inch outer screen. Additionally, the device may also offer the A20 chip, a new C2 modem, and a dual rear camera as well as Touch ID.

“but spent no expense”
it was cheap? Free? I’m confused. The saying goes “spared no expense” but typically refers to the outlandish quality of something.
The word in the title should be “incremental”. The one in the title is misspelt.
