iPhone 18 Leaks and Rumours

The first-generation iPhone was first launched on June 29, 2007. After that, there was a series of iPhones, and now it is the iPhone 18 series, expected in September 2026, and is rumoured to be one of Apple’s most strategic shifts. While the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will be released in the autumn time window, the standard iPhone 28 may be delayed until early 2027. Here are 5 top rumours:

1. First 2nm Architecture

This model is rumoured to debut the A20 Pro Chip, TSMC’s 2nm process. This will boost 15% boost in CPU speed and 30% better power efficiency. A new packaging technology may integrate 12 GB of RAM directly onto the chip wafer to increase “Apple Intelligence” AI tasks.

2. Display and Under-Display Face ID:

iPhone 18 is expected to debut under display Face ID, moving most sensors beneath the screen to shrink the Dynamic Island by roughly 35%. The new LPTO Plus panels will likely push brightness to 3000+ nits, offering a better “all screen” experience.

3. First foldable iPhone launch

 iPhone 18 may launch its first “iPhone Fold”.It is rumoured to be like a book fold design and could be Apple’s biggest innovation in years. Apple fans are excited for this innovation.

4. Battery and Connectivity
iPhone 18 is expected to feature a massive 5,100 mAh to 5,200 mAh battery, potentially achieving the first true two-day battery life. It is going to introduce satellite-based 5G for internet access in remote areas and will also likely support Wi-Fi 7.

5. DSLR-like camera features
iPhone 18 is expected to feature a mechanical variable aperture that physically opens and closes just like a professional DSLR lens. This allows us to control light naturally. It will likely feature a new three-layered stacked sensor to capture more details.
