Apple has announced three new iPhone models at its ‘Surprise and Shine’ launch event. The three new models include the iPhone 18 Pro, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the all-new iPhone Duo, a foldable. Unlike the past, Apple hasn’t launched a base iPhone 18 model this year. So those waiting to upgrade from an iPhone 16 or iPhone 17 will have to wait a bit longer. The new Pro models will run on Apple’s new 2nm A20 Pro chipset and ship with iOS 27 out of the box. With the ongoing memory crisis, Apple (like every other manufacturer) has been forced to raise prices, making the buying decision more difficult.
If you have been holding off on upgrading to the newest iPhone Pro models this year, here’s your complete guide to the new iPhone 18 Pro models launched in India.
