Apple Plans Major Internal Changesโค for iPhone 18 Pro, Including qualcomm Exit
CUPERTINO, CA – Futureโข iPhone models,โข specifically the anticipated iPhone 18 Pro, are shaping up to include significant internal modifications, according to recent leaks and analyst reports. Apple โฃis poised โฃto move away โfrom Qualcomm for 5G connectivity, adopting its internally developed C2 modem. This shift aims to โฃreduce energy consumption and improve integration with the forthcoming A20 Pro chip, manufactured by TSMC in 2 nanometers.
Beyond the modem, the iPhone 18 Pro is rumored to featureโ a 48-megapixel main camera โsensor with a variable aperture – a first for โคiPhones – offering enhanced control over โฃdepth of field and โlow-lightโฃ performance, mirroring capabilities found in SLR cameras. A new pressure-sensitive photo button, inspired by professional camera triggers, is also anticipated, allowing for more precise setting โadjustments before โขcapturing images.
Furtherโ design refinements may include an enhanced magnetic ring forโฃ improved MagSafe accessory alignment and perhaps addressing wear issues observed in previous models. While aโ “visual revolution” isn’t โexpected, โขApple is focusing โon incremental improvements to the display and component updates for increased efficiency.
