At Apple’s “Surprise and Shine” event, the highly anticipated iPhone 18 Pro series was officially introduced along with the brand’s first foldable smartphone model.
iPhone 18 Pro models generally have the same design as the iPhone 17 Pro models. In the large camera area, the triple rear camera system maintains its place. Although it is said that the Ceramic Shield area for MagSafe charging may be a little transparent, it is difficult to notice the visible design change. Although there are complaints about durability, the new 18 Pros have an anodized aluminum finish like the iPhone 17 Pro.
Detailed colors that will make it easier to distinguish the iPhone 18 Pro from the previous generation at first sight. iPhone 18 Pro Max colors include dark cherry, light blue, silver and black. This year’s color will be Dark Cherry, also known as burgundy. For those who do not like the launch color, there will also be blue, silver and black color options. Cosmic orange will remain the exclusive color for the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max.
Apple did not change the screen sizes of the new Pro models. With the current models, 6.3 inch and 6.9 inch screens welcome us. However, the iPhone 18 Pro uses the upgraded LTPO+ screen technology, which is said to be more energy efficient than the LTPO screen used in the iPhone 17 Pro models. Additionally, Dynamic Island has been made slightly smaller. The minimized Dynamic Island allows switching between three Live Activities at the same time.
Apple improves iPhone cameras in some way every year. Last year, the new Center Stage front camera feature was highlighted with the iPhone 17, and the iPhone 17 Pro came with a much more advanced telephoto lens. The iPhone 18 Pro series also comes with a variable aperture main camera. The aperture width is also wider in the telephoto camera. Additionally, professional-oriented software features are available.
iPhone 18 Pro Max uses the same variable aperture main camera lens as the iPhone 18 Pro. The variable aperture feature allows the lens aperture to be adjusted between f/1.4 and f/4.0 for better low-light shots, natural bokeh and clearer group photos.
