Apple(US:AAPL) Huan Qiu Wang Zi Xun·2026-02-14 01:52Core Insights - The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are set to introduce five major new features, focusing on design, imaging, performance, and communication, as revealed by analyst Jeff Pu [1][4]. Design - The iPhone 18 Pro will feature a reduced size for the Dynamic Island, with the Face ID flood illuminator moved under the display, enhancing screen-to-body ratio and providing a more immersive visual experience, marking the first design optimization since the iPhone 14 Pro series [4]. Imaging - The new Pro models will include a 48-megapixel main camera with variable aperture technology, allowing users to control light intake and adjust depth of field, although the extent of imaging improvements remains to be validated due to size constraints [4]. Performance - The iPhone 18 Pro will be powered by the A20 Pro chip, utilizing TSMC's first-generation 2nm process, which is expected to deliver a performance increase of 15% and a reduction in power consumption by 35% compared to the previous A19 Pro chip built on a 3nm process [4]. Communication - The device will feature the new N2 chip, replacing the N1 chip that currently supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, with specific upgrades yet to be disclosed. Additionally, it will include a third-generation self-developed C2 modem, succeeding the C1X chip, which is anticipated to enhance 5G signal strength by 25% and improve performance in weak network scenarios [5]. Additional Information - These five features are part of a broader upgrade for the iPhone 18 Pro series, with more details expected to emerge as the official launch in September approaches [5].
