Apple is reportedly working on a new design for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. This upcoming device will likely retain the aluminum frame material used in the iPhone 17 series. This marks a departure from the titanium frames that Apple introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models.
The decision to keep the aluminum chassis comes despite customer complaints regarding durability issues with the iPhone 17 series build. Leaker Fixed Focus Digital stated that the iPhone 18 Pro will most likely continue to use aluminum for its frame. Apple previously switched to titanium for the iPhone 15 Pro and 16 Pro before reverting to aluminum for the iPhone 17 Pro.
Reports indicate that the iPhone 18 series will maintain the same pricing strategy as the iPhone 17 series. Analysts suggest that Apple is absorbing component cost increases rather than raising prices for the new lineup. This pricing stability contrasts with the company's previous shift to premium materials in earlier Pro models.
The iPhone 18 Pro is also rumored to feature a complete display redesign to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the iPhone. These hardware details originate from leaker reports and analyst assessments rather than official Apple announcements. Apple has not confirmed the launch window or specific technical specifications for the device.
