As of May 4, 2026, Apple has not officially announced the iPhone 18 Pro. However, industry rumors and leaks suggest the device could launch in September 2026, following Apple's typical release cycle. Key rumored features include a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera, a new 'deep purple' color option, and a potential price increase due to component costs.
Display analyst Ross Young has speculated that the iPhone 18 Pro may feature a 6.3-inch OLED display with ProMotion technology, while the Pro Max could have a 6.9-inch screen. These sizes would represent a slight increase from the iPhone 17 series. However, these details remain unconfirmed by Apple.
Camera upgrades are a major focus of rumors. The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to include a 48MP ultrawide sensor, up from 12MP in previous models, and improved low-light performance. Some leaks also suggest a periscope telephoto lens with up to 10x optical zoom, though this is speculative.
Pricing is uncertain, but analysts predict the iPhone 18 Pro could start at $1,099, similar to the iPhone 17 Pro, with potential increases due to new components. Colors rumored include space black, silver, and deep purple. No official release date, pricing, or specifications have been confirmed by Apple as of May 4, 2026.
