All iPhone 18 models may use LTPO AMOLED displays, with Pro versions testing under-display Face ID and a smaller camera cutout.

iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max could get triple 48MP cameras, including a periscope lens, while iPhone 18 and Air 2 stick to dual 48MP sensors.

Pro models may launch in September, the standard iPhone 18 later in 2027, with India prices starting near Rs 85,900, as per leaks around Apple.

The Apple iPhone 17 series was introduced in September 2025 and we are already seeing leaks around the iPhone 18 series. The early leaks suggested a possible split launch strategy and now the latest one has confirmed the screen sizes of the upcoming Apple iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2. This comes after a popular tipster, Digital Chat Station on Weibo, stated that Apple is testing four iPhone 18 models: the iPhone 18, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a refreshed iPhone Air 2. Here is everything that we know so far.

Apple iPhone 18 series and Air 2 specs

All models are expected to use LTPO AMOLED panels with a 120Hz refresh rate, suggesting high-refresh displays may become standard across the range. The standard iPhone 18 is tipped to feature a 6.27-inch display and retain the Dynamic Island design. The iPhone Air 2 is said to sit slightly above it with a 6.55-inch LTPO screen, also featuring a Dynamic Island. Both devices are expected to support adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz.

The more notable changes are tipped for the Pro models. The iPhone 18 Pro is reportedly testing a 6.27-inch panel, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max could feature a larger 6.86-inch display. Unlike the non-Pro variants, both Pro models are said to move away from the current Dynamic Island cutout. Instead, Apple may shrink and reposition the front camera cutout, while shifting Face ID components beneath the display. The lineup is also expected to be powered by Apple’s next-generation A20 and A20 Pro chips, though official details remain under wraps.

In terms of camera, the iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 may get a dual-rear camera system with a 48MP main sensor and a 48MP ultra-wide lens. While the Apple iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max could get a triple camera, including a 48MP main, 48MP ultrawide and 48MP periscope lens.
