Apple went bold with its redesigned Pro models in 2025, and that was a nice change from the subdued shades of titanium on the iPhone 15 Pro and 16 Pro. For some, the iPhone 17 Pro\u2019s design is too much, especially in a construction vest orange \u2013 great for Clemson fans. And while I think the 17 Pro looks dignified in dark blue, I want Apple to release a black iPhone 18 Pro \u2013 even if the only external change is the color. I truly love the two-tone Ceramic Shield panel on the back of the 17 Pro, and I could imagine Apple making a killer black and space gray model.<\/p>\n
I would like Apple to add a pro mode in the Camera app, like some Android phones<\/a>. With iOS 27<\/a> adding a Siri<\/a> mode into the app, the lovable simplicity of the iPhone camera has felt like navigating a tiny furnished apartment. I can find everything just fine, but it just feels cluttered.<\/p>\n Apple increased the size of the battery on the 17 Pro, and it will be interesting to see how it powers the 18 Pro without the battery life taking a hit. Will Apple adopt silicon-carbon batteries<\/a> that enable greater capacity without increasing physical size? The company\u2019s iPhone line might sell in too many numbers for such a change, despite OnePlus, Motorola and Samsung launching phones this year using the technology.<\/p>\n My last wish is that the price remains the same. Even if Apple doesn\u2019t adopt rumored price increases<\/a>, there is a world in which the cheapest new iPhone announced at its \u201cSurprise and shine\u201d event would cost $1,100<\/a>. And that\u2019s a lot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple went bold with its redesigned Pro models in 2025, and that was a nice change from the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":841352,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[74],"class_list":["post-841351","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=841351"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841351\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/841352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=841351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=841351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=841351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
