iPhone 18 Pro launch tipped next month; India price may rise
Apple makes very popular phones called iPhones.
Soon, Apple might show new fancy phones called the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
Nobody at Apple has said anything official yet, so all of this is just guessing from reports.
The new phones might cost more money in India than older ones.
A report says the smaller fancy phone could start at about Rs 1,39,900, and the biggest one at about Rs 1,54,900.
Prices may go up because the tiny computer parts inside phones are getting more expensive.
The new phones might have a faster brain inside, made with a brand new way of building chips.
They might also take better pictures with a camera that controls light in a new way.
The little black circle at the top of the screen, called the Dynamic Island, might get smaller.
The phones could also come with a new version of the iPhone software called iOS 27, which might make the helper Siri smarter.
Apple has not confirmed the iPhone 18 series, but leaks tip a launch next month with the Pro model starting around Rs 1,39,900 in India.
The iPhone 18 Pro Max is reportedly priced from approximately Rs 1,54,900, crossing the Rs 1.5 lakh mark.
The reported price increase is attributed to rising memory component prices driven by demand from AI companies and data-centre operators.
The phones are expected to feature an A20 Pro chipset built on TSMC's 2nm process, with unconfirmed gains of up to 15 per cent in performance and 30 per cent in power efficiency.
Other reported changes include a Dynamic Island up to 35 per cent smaller, a variable-aperture main camera, and iOS 27 with greater emphasis on Apple Intelligence.
