Apple just announced its new iPhone 17 series, but it looks like we’re over it because rumors of the iPhone 18 have already begun. According to a post on Weibo by tipster Digital Chat Station, the iPhone 18 Pro prototypes have already been completed. If you plan to hold off on the iPhone 17 this year, here’s what you can expect.

iPhone 18 Pro prototypes reportedly completed

In the post, the tipster claims that Apple has already completed the prototypes of the iPhone 18 Pro. Note that this doesn’t necessarily mean the company is done with the phone. It could be that this is the version that they’re satisfied with for now. We imagine that Apple could make more changes further down the line depending on the feedback it receives.

So, what can we look forward to in the iPhone 18 Pro? Based on the current prototype, not much. We can’t say we’re too surprised. Apple typically keeps its iPhone designs around for a few generations, so the iPhone 18 Pro won’t look too different from the current models.

Digital Chat Station claims that it will feature the same matrix deco design, the same triple camera layout, and the same 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays. However, they claim the phones will feature a “new screen form factor,” whatever that means. Apple will continue using a built-in stainless steel vapor chamber system. However, the spliced glass on the back of the phone will feature a slightly more transparent design.

Overall, this isn’t going to be a massive departure from the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. But if you don’t see the need to upgrade to the iPhone 17, then maybe the iPhone 18 could be worth waiting for.

Other changes we can expect

While Digital Chat Station does not explicitly mention it, we can probably look forward to Apple using the A20 chipset for the iPhone 18 series. This is particularly exciting because the A20 will be the first 2nm chipset from Apple. The A19 series is still built using TSMC’s 3nm process, but the A20 will see Apple shift to using TSMC’s 2nm process. The smaller process means that the chipset should be faster and also more efficient.

There is also no word on whether Apple could transition to an under-display camera system. We’ve been hearing rumors that Apple could start making the shift to under-display technology. However, the latest rumors aren’t particularly encouraging. A recent leak by Instant Digital claims Apple won’t use an under-display Face ID system for the iPhone 18. Either way, it’s still too early to tell what features will or will not make the cut. So, until we get official word, take it with a grain of salt.
