Apple iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max: Apple is set to host its next major hardware event on September 9, where the company is widely expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max alongside other new products. The event, titled “Surprise and shine,” will begin at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, which is 10:30 PM IST in India. The upcoming Pro models are expected to bring upgrades in performance, cameras, battery life and AI capabilities. Apple is also widely rumoured to introduce its first foldable iPhone at the event, although the company has not officially confirmed the product lineup.
Apple iPhone 18 Pro India, UK and USA launch date and timings
Apple’s September 9 event is officially confirmed, with the keynote scheduled to begin at 10:30 PM IST. The event will be held at Apple Park in the USA. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to be among the key announcements, with availability details for markets including the USA, UK and India likely to be revealed during or after the event.
Reports suggest that pre-orders could begin around September 12, with retail availability potentially following around mid-September. However, Apple has not yet officially confirmed the pre-order or sale dates for the new iPhone models.
Apple iPhone 18 Pro specifications and features
The iPhone 18 Pro is tipped to pack a 6.3-inch display, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max could get a 6.9-inch panel. The biggest performance boost may come from Apple’s A20 Pro chipset, which is rumored to be based on a more advanced 2nm manufacturing process and could deliver better performance and power efficiency.
Both Pro models are also reportedly going to pack 12GB of RAM, which could help with demanding on-device processing and Apple Intelligence features. Maybe the extra memory and processing power will help Siri and other AI tools.
The camera system could also receive a major upgrade. Current rumours point to a triple 48MP rear camera setup, including primary, ultra-wide and telephoto sensors. Apple is also expected to introduce a variable-aperture main camera, although reports differ on whether this feature will be available on both Pro models or be limited to the Pro Max.
Other expected upgrades include larger batteries and new colour options. Apple’s C2 modem is also rumoured, although modem configurations could differ between markets, particularly between US and international models.
