iPhone 18 Pro Unboxed: Glacier Blue, Cooler Core, and a Slimmer Dynamic Island

MacRumors’ hands-on with the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max reveals a heavier build, a uniform glass-to-frame Glacier color, a new 2nm A20 Pro chip with expanded vapor-chamber cooling, and a smaller Dynamic Island thanks to an under-display infrared camera; the camera gains a variable-aperture main lens with Pro Controls and a histogram, plus four aperture settings that help in varying light. US models use a new C2 modem with mmWave 5G, while other regions stick with Qualcomm. Battery life is rated up to 36 hours for the 18 Pro and 45 hours for the 18 Pro Max, with pricing starting at $1,199 and launch on September 18.
