iPhone 18 Pro Leak Roundup

A20 Chip: TSMC 2nm Process

TSMC's N2P process promises 30% better performance-per-watt vs N3E. Leaked Geekbench scores suggest single-core 3800+, multi-core 11000+. The Neural Engine reportedly doubles to 40 TOPS for on-device AI.

Under-Display Face ID

Multiple sources confirm Face ID moves under the display, leaving only a small punch-hole for the front camera. This could enable a true all-screen design with 95%+ screen-to-body ratio.

Camera: 10x Periscope Telephoto

The Pro Max model reportedly gets a tetraprism periscope with 10x optical zoom (up from 5x). The main sensor upgrades to a 1/1.12" type with variable aperture f/1.4-f/4.0.

Foldable iPhone (Late 2026/2027?)

Samsung Display reportedly shipping foldable OLED panels to Apple. A book-style fold with 7.6" inner display and crease-free UTG glass. Most analysts push this to 2027.
