The prototype models are mainly used for offline display and also serve as references for accessory manufacturers. The accessory manufacturers need to closely replicate the dimensions of the device in order to mass-produce phone cases and other peripheral accessories before the official release of the new model. In April this year, Dixon simultaneously exposed the early engineering models of the foldable screen iPhone, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18 Pro Max, providing the first direct confirmation that this foldable phone adopts the passport-style flap design.

The exposed folding-screen iPhone prototype this time is far more detailed than the previous versions that were circulating. It can more clearly display the overall design and screen shape of the device.
These exterior details also align with the various design rumors currently circulating. This device adopts a book-like shape, with a screen ratio of 4:3. The width of the device is greater than its height, and it is different from the forms of all current folding mobile phones on the market. The external screen size is 5.5 inches, and the internal display is a 7.8-inch OLED screen. When unfolded, the overall size of the device is slightly smaller than that of an iPad mini.

According to rumors, this device features a 4.5-millimeter ultra-thin titanium metal frame, with the volume buttons moved to the top of the device and the custom function buttons removed; the unlocking method has been changed to Touch ID, and Face ID is no longer equipped; the back adopts a horizontal dual-camera module, and the camera area retains the raised design style of iPhone Air.
The prototype also revealed several new design details: The outer screen is in a full-screen form, with a slight curvature at the edges; the flash is located below the rear microphone within the camera area; the rear microphone has a new design, with a hole in a seven-hole pattern; the front camera of the inner screen is placed in the upper left corner of the screen, and this layout is bound to have an impact on the shape of dynamic island.

Regarding the color scheme, Dickson stated that this device seems to have only a white version. The blogger @DigitalDrama Station previously also mentioned that this model is unlikely to have a black version, and white is likely to be the only color option. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman previously also noted that Apple intends to abandon bright colors and revert to the traditional color scheme.

It is worth noting that many of Apple’s high-end new products were initially released with only a single color option, such as Apple Watch Ultra and Vision Pro. This strategy is also in line with Apple’s usual pattern for launching major new products. In November 2017, the first release of iPhone X offered only silver and deep space gray colors, setting a record with an initial price of $999; the following year, iPhone XS added a gold version. Some speculate that Apple may update this folding flagship in the future by gradually increasing the color options.

As expected, the foldable iPhone will be officially released in September 2026, along with iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. According to Gurman, the starting price of this new foldable device will exceed $2000 (Igeekphone Note: The current exchange rate is approximately 13,583 yuan).

I. Optimization of basic settings: Establishing the foundation for picture quality

Go to “Settings – Camera – Format”, and select “Efficient (HEIF/HEVC)”. This can save 30% of storage space while retaining 24 million pixel details. If you need post-processing color correction, you can enable “Apple ProRAW” and set it to “JPEG XL Lossy Compression”. This ensures image quality while controlling the file size. It is recommended to lock the photo resolution to “24MP mode”. In this mode, the sensor uses full pixel output, and the noise in night scenes is reduced by 42% compared to the 48MP mode. Enable the combination function of “Grid Lines + Level Meter”. The nine-grid pattern assists in the composition of the rule of thirds. The level meter uses the gyroscope to real-time correct the tilt of the picture, ensuring the horizontal and vertical alignment of scenes such as buildings and landscapes.

II. Scenario-based Calibration: Precisely Matching Shooting Requirements

– Landscape Photography: The main camera with 1x (24mm) is suitable for capturing large scenes. It uses an F/1.78 large aperture to create a shallow depth of field. The 28mm focal length is achieved through sensor cropping, and its distortion control is better than that of external lenses, making it suitable for portrait photography. By enabling “Smart HDR 5”, the system automatically optimizes the details of highlights and shadows to avoid overexposure or underexposure.

Portrait shooting: Enable the “Depth Control” slider in the “Portrait Mode” to adjust the intensity of background blurring in real time. Combine with the “Gloss” option in the “Photography Style” to give the skin tone of the subjects a natural luster. In backlit scenes, turn on “Portrait Blur Adjustment” and simulate the aperture value to f/2.8. Combine with the flash for supplementary lighting to enhance the three-dimensionality of the faces.

Night scene shooting: The camera automatically switches to the night mode. If you need to extend the exposure time (up to 10 seconds), you can manually adjust the slider to the maximum value and use a tripod to secure the equipment to obtain purer details in the dark areas. In the night scene mode, the default EV value will be lowered to -0.7. Combined with the new multi-frame synthesis algorithm, this can further enhance the image quality.

– Telephoto application: When using the 8x optical zoom lens to take pictures at a distance of 10 meters, its resolution exceeds that of most single-lens reflex cameras’ telephoto lenses, making it suitable for capturing architectural details. When shooting high dynamic scenes such as concerts, activate the “Telephoto Lens Priority” mode and combine it with the “Highlight Retention” algorithm to clearly capture the details of stage lights.

III. Composition Techniques: Enhancing the Artistic Quality of the Picture

Golden section point composition: Place the main subject, such as a person’s eyes or the top of a building, at the four intersection points of the nine-grid layout to enhance the layering effect of the photo.

Low-angle shooting: Capture the scene close to the ground, using the sky as the background to avoid interference from other objects, and at the same time enhancing the depth perception of the picture.
Frame-style composition: Look for natural frames, such as windows, doorways, or tree branches, and place the main subject within the frame to enhance the narrative quality of the picture.

Guiding-line composition: By utilizing line elements such as roads and rivers, the composition guides the viewer’s gaze towards the main subject, enhancing the dynamic effect of the picture.

Symmetrical composition: When shooting scenes such as buildings or water reflections, turn off the “Display outside composition” option to avoid UI elements from interfering and ensure the balance of the picture.

IV. Advanced Features: Expanding Creative Boundaries

– Video Recording: Select “4K 60fps” combined with “HDR mode”, with a dynamic range of 14 stops. The highlights are not overexposed and the dark areas retain details. Professional users can activate “ProRes Log encoding”, which enables 10-bit color depth color grading in Final Cut Pro, resulting in three times smoother color transitions compared to the ordinary mode.

Space video shooting: When shooting space videos with Apple Vision Pro, enable the “Space Video” mode. During the shooting, keep the device level and maintain a distance of 0.5 to 1.5 meters from the subject to achieve the best 3D effect.

Macro photography: When the distance between the lens and the subject is less than 10 centimeters, the system automatically activates the macro mode. At this time, it is recommended to turn off “Lens Correction” and retain the natural distortion to enhance the visual impact. When shooting water droplets or insects, an external circular lighting accessory can be used to improve the detail presentation.

– Continuous Shooting and Shutter Control: Press and hold the shutter button to activate the continuous shooting mode, which can capture up to 20 photos per second. When the “Volume Up Button for Continuous Shooting” option is enabled, pressing the volume up button will start the high-speed continuous shooting, which is suitable for capturing moving scenes.

Through systematic setup and scenario-based adjustment, the iPhone 17 Pro Max can cover all scenarios from daily recording to professional creation. After mastering these techniques, users can complete the entire creative process from composition to post-processing in the native camera without relying on third-party applications.

According to previous leaked information, the iPhone 18 Pro series will feature four color options: light blue, deep cherry red, dark gray, and silver. These correspond to the actual phone case colors that have been circulating.

At this point, let’s take a look at the comprehensive specifications of the iPhone 18 Pro series, apart from the appearance. We’ll see what new tricks Apple’s new flagship model has up its sleeve and how it manages to attract users to make an upgrade purchase.

Performance Configuration

In terms of performance configuration, the iPhone 18 Pro is expected to adopt the A20 Pro chip, using the TSMC 2nm N2 process. The computing speed is predicted to increase by 10% to 15%, and the end-side AI computing power has doubled. In terms of energy efficiency, its power consumption has significantly decreased by 25% to 30%, and the overall heat control of the device has also been significantly improved.

In this generation of chips, Apple has adopted a completely new WMCM (Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module) packaging technology. By integrating multiple independent chips such as the CPU, GPU and NPU onto a single independent carrier board, the chip’s internal data transmission efficiency has been significantly enhanced. This not only offers more flexible design capabilities and greater scalability, but also improves energy efficiency and simplifies the manufacturing process.

The two new models are also expected to be equipped with Apple’s third-generation self-developed C2 modem. This not only significantly reduces power consumption but also enhances the communication capabilities of the system. It has reduced the drop-out rate in weak network environments by 30%. It is reported that it will also be equipped with satellite 5G internet connection functionality. Even if users are in extreme environments without Wi-Fi or cellular networks such as remote mountainous areas, at sea, or in disaster-stricken areas, the system can rely on the satellite network to support web browsing, satellite image transmission, and signal-free navigation functions, making the mobile phone truly become a global-coverage communication terminal.

In terms of camera configuration, all models have upgraded their front cameras to 24 million pixels. For the rear telephoto lenses, the Pro version is equipped with a 5x telephoto, while the Pro Max version has a larger aperture 6x telephoto, significantly enhancing the 4x and 8x zoom performance in low-light conditions.

Appearance design

While maintaining the classic style, the iPhone 18 Pro series has made targeted optimizations in the screen shape and internal space layout. The iPhone 18 Pro is equipped with a 6.3-inch OLED screen, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max is equipped with a 6.9-inch OLED screen. The dynamic island will be reduced.

By completely eliminating the use of external baseband chips and adopting an in-house self-developed baseband solution integrated within the SoC, the PCB layout area, signal routing, and dedicated cooling space required for external chips have been eliminated inside the phone. This has made the motherboard layout more compact, thus freeing up valuable physical space inside the device, potentially making the phone thinner and lighter.

Battery life performance

Battery capacity has always been a major concern for smartphone users. The battery capacity of the iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to reach 5200mAh, making it the phone with the largest battery capacity in Apple’s history. The battery capacity of the iPhone 18 Pro is approximately 4800mAh. Combined with a 30% reduction in power consumption by the chip and the excellent energy consumption control of the self-developed C2 baseband, the overall battery life of the Pro Max model is expected to be extended by 20% to 30%.

In terms of charging efficiency, both of the Pro models are expected to support 45W wired fast charging as well as 30W MagSafe wireless charging technology.

More experiences

Based on its powerful underlying hardware, iPhone 18 Pro has expanded a number of system-level functions that enhance the user experience: In terms of end-side AI, the new WMCM packaging architecture, doubled AI computing power, and the 12GB large memory standard across the entire series are specifically designed for the next wave of end-side Apple Intelligence functions, ensuring the smooth operation of system-level AI tasks and the ability to handle multiple tasks.

In terms of price, the entire lineup of iPhone 18 Pro is expected to come with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM as standard. The base model with 256GB storage is expected to start at 8,999 yuan (Pro) and 9,999 yuan (Pro Max). The high-end version (512GB/1TB) may see a slight price increase.
