Leaked reports ahead of the September launch suggest the iPhone 18 Pro will feature the advanced 2nm A20 chip and a new C2 modem for improved connectivity.
Industry insiders also indicate that Apple is testing under-display Face ID technology, which could significantly reduce the size of the front-facing camera cutout.
These hardware upgrades are expected to be the primary selling points for the new flagship, as Apple aims to maintain its lead in the premium smartphone market.
