iPhone 18 Pro: A20 Chip, LTPO+ Displays, and Satellite Connectivity on the Way

Rumors say Apple will launch the iPhone 18 Pro family in a two‑phase rollout starting September 2026, with upgrades including a 2nm A20 chip with advanced packaging, LTPO+ displays for better power efficiency, and camera improvements such as a variable-aperture main sensor and a Samsung-made multi-layer image sensor. The lineup may include under‑display Face ID or a smaller Dynamic Island, a mix of modem options (C2 in some markets, Qualcomm in others), potential 5G satellite connectivity via Globalstar, new colors, and a major Siri/AI upgrade in iOS 27. A spring 2027 release could follow for base iPhone 18 and related models, with the Pro models largely resembling the 17 Pro design but possibly thicker Pro Max to house the bigger battery.
