Apple's iPhone development roadmap runs several years into the future and the company is continually working with suppliers on several successive iPhone models at the same time, which is why we often get rumored features months ahead of launch. The iPhone 18 series is no different, and we already have a good idea of what to expect for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

haha steep discounts :D this is hilarious. Looks like boomers have not seen some true discounts. These discounts are pathetic. I wouldn't even call them a discount, just some price action, but nothing really to see.

Trust no one. ;) Best Buy had Ultra 2 for $699 a few weeks ago.
