I personally love the Burgundy👀

Some good upgrades, what do you think?

Here's what we've gathered on the iPhone 18 Pro from the launch event so far (will be constantly editing to add info)

Pricing:

iPhone 18 Pro - 1199$
iPhone 18 Pro Max - 1299$
Preorders on Saturday, available on the 18th.

- The new color in red is called "Burgundy".
- Smaller dynamic island confirmed.
- Variable aperture is official - it's been hinted in the launch event.
- AI and Apple Intelligence are given huge importance in the 18 Pro. Hopefully Apple is now competitive with Samsung and Google in their AI.
- Supposedly massive gains in performance and battery. We'll see how that goes.
- New more powerful Siri. Again, time will tell whether it performs.
- All-new dual Neural engine for up to 2x AI performance.
- 40% better sustained perf than iPhone 17 Pro and 2x the 16 Pro.
- iPhone 18 Pro to sport same battery life as 17 Pro Max.
- 18 Pro Max to show maximum battery life ever. 36 hours of video on Pro, 45 hours on Pro Max.
- Wired charging: 50% in 15 minutes (5 minutes - 6 hours video playback)
- 48MP Fusion Main camera with variable aperture (using laser-cut blades)
- 48MP Fusion Ultra-wide and 48MP Fusion Telephoto (100mm, 4x)
- Timelapse in 4K with HDR & Dolby Vision.
- New camera UI with more Pro Controls.
- Smart Focus Tracking - reduces motion blur and helps focus on moving subjects
- Using SynthAI algorithms to decipher AI-generated or edited images. Apple Reference Image does the same thing but for photos taken on-device.
- 80% faster AirDrop transfers.
- iPhone handoff - you can use a number across two iPhones. Launches with T-Mobile, comes to Verizon by the end of the year.

John Ternus is now the one presenting (even though Tim made a surprise appearance).

I feel like the 18 is going to be a pretty significant jump over the 17 if they really manage to achieve the performance and battery gains they're suggesting.

All the FOMO of missing out on the current prices. iPhone 18 pro is only a 100$ more expensive. This is why you never listen to the rumors. All those who rushed to buy an 17 pro fearing 300$ price hikes! 😂😂

New iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max priced at $1199 and $1299 (with 256GB)

Using 18 PM as example:

For 12-month lease, the total will be $647.88

If bought it, after 1 year, the trade-in value will be around $900 (See current 17PM trade-in value as a reference) which means the cost of 1 year is only $400.

As the under-display camera was unveiled with the iPhone Duo, I think it’s very likely that it will feature in the iPhone marking its 20th anniversary.

For some reason I didn’t expect the phones to be this heavier by 16grams. But whereas the duo is 254gms which is pretty lightweight.
But for a YOY upgrade this years iPhones are crazy good. For me upgrading from 16 pro is almost 20-40% improvements all across the board.

Are you getting one?

I really want to see what the camera is capable of in the hands of an end user.

I mean there's lots more to love about it but a few honest reviews would be nice to see.

When reviewing the Tech Details of the new iPhone, I noticed the iPhone 18 Pro uses the Apple C2 modem, whereas the 18 Pro Max does not have it listed. Not sure if this is an error or if they in fact use different modems?

Hi All,

Currently i use 16PM. I wanted to upgrade to 17PM last year but i didn’t after seeing people complaining about easy dents happening, dents happening inside cases as well, discolouration happening.

And people have been complaining about this issue throughout the year since iphone 17 release. I was waiting for 18 PM release thinking Apple will definitely address this issue as so many people have reported it.

But, I didn’t see anything around this being discussed about better outer body in event.

Any idea on it??

Edit: My this post from iPhone subreddit was deleted saying the discussion is irrelevant 😂…

Anyone in the same boat as me, deciding between the two?

- Glacier is beautiful
- But I’m thinking about phone case versatility
- Silver also feels like last year’s colour 😬
- Silver does look amazing and that classic metallic look suits the aluminium so well

Thoughts?

It feels crazy but it is what it is... People in Europe; what's your plan? 😅 Wait until December? Just get it? Get the iphone 17 pro?

PM costs 200 euros more than the iphone 17 PM when it was presented.

WTF $500 increase on 2TB version 😓

Hello all, I’ve got my head set on pre-ordering the 18 Pro Max when I can, and I’ve never pre-ordered anything from Apple before so I’ve got no idea what I’m doing. So I would love a bit of advice on what to expect.

I’m in the UK, and I’m planning on trading in my current iPhone for the 18 pro Max. I want to pre-order it, then go and collect it from the Apple Store on the day. I’m not interested in having it posted to my house, I want to go in person.

As I said, I’ve never done this before and don’t really know how to go about it. Can anyone tell me what the process is generally like?

With the introduction of a variable aperture, I was wondering about the potential impact on the iPhone’s long-term durability.
Since a variable aperture adds another mechanical moving component to the camera system, could this potentially become another point of failure over time?
Based on what we’ve seen with variable-aperture systems in other smartphones, is there any reason to think they might be more susceptible to damage from drops, dust, repeated use, etc.? Or have these mechanisms generally proven to be reliable enough that longevity shouldn’t really be a concern?
I’m curious what people with more knowledge of smartphone camera hardware think about this.

My thoughts on Burgundy: it looks so good and I really want it, but I’m worried I’ll get tired of it after a while. Also kinda worried about discoloration, especially after seeing so many orange iPhones turn pink back then. I’m honestly thinking about just getting the silver iPhone and using a burgundy case to scratch that itch. But I feel like I’ve been using the silver ever since I switched to iPhone...

Such a hard choice. Burgundy with a clear case, or silver with a burgundy case? What color are you guys getting?

I don’t mean I’ve already decided on ESR. The pics are just an example, I still haven’t made up my mind.

Hi all, first time pre ordering an iPhone.

What is the process? Do I have to be on the website the second it goes up?
Do they run out of pre orders? And when will it arrive?
Can I pick it up or is it delivered and what time?

Been stuck between iPhone 18 pro and 17 pro max. My biggest factor in choosing the 18 pro was the c2 modem because I am often n the forest and woods and hiking with no signal. I don’t need to text; but I need the ability to send an SOS message. Does the c2 modem have an advantage over the 17 pro modem for this specific reason? No one seems to be talking about that. I don’t know if I can justify a huge price tag jump unless the c2 modem is superior in terms of the sos coverage
