Analyst lists five upgrades coming to the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max | Infinium-tech
GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu has come out with a new research note in which he outlines five upgrades coming to the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max later this year.
First, the dynamic island will be smaller, as the flood illuminator used for Face ID will be moved below the display. After this the 48MP main camera will come with variable aperture.

Pu also detailed the three chips coming to the Pro series. The A20 Pro will power the devices, and will be built using TSMC’s first-generation 2nm process and a new packaging design. The N2 chip will be an upgrade to the N1 chip that handles Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread support in the iPhone 17 family and iPhone Air. It’s still unclear what improvements the N2 will bring, but presumably better wireless performance and/or power savings.
Finally, the C2 modem should make its way to the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. This will be important because until now, Apple’s C1 modem was only used in the iPhone 16e, and the C1X was used in the iPhone Air – with the C2, Apple’s in-house modem will finally move to the mainstream Pro family.
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to be unveiled alongside the iPhone Fold in September, while the iPhone 18 could arrive alongside the iPhone 18e next spring.
