iPhone 18 Pro Enters Early Production Testing Ahead of Expected September Launch

Apple has reportedly begun early-stage mass production testing for its upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, months ahead of their expected launch. According to a new leak, the devices have entered the test production phase, suggesting that development is progressing steadily toward Apple’s usual September release timeline.

Tipster Fixed Focus Digital, posting on Weibo, claims that Apple has already initiated trial production for the new Pro models. The source adds that the overall materials and core specifications remain largely unchanged, indicating that Apple may focus more on refinements rather than a complete redesign this year.

Recent leaks suggest that one of the most noticeable design changes could be a significant reduction in the size of the Dynamic Island, potentially delivering a more immersive display experience. While Apple is expected to retain the same screen sizes as the previous generation, internal upgrades to the camera system and processor are also anticipated.

In terms of colour options, a Bloomberg report indicates that Apple may introduce a new deep red colour variant for the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. However, it remains uncertain whether this shade will replace or accompany the popular Cosmic Orange finish introduced with the iPhone 17 Pro series.

Although Apple has not officially confirmed any details, the growing number of leaks suggests that preparations for the iPhone 18 Pro launch are already well underway. The new devices are widely expected to debut at Apple’s annual September event, which is still more than six months away.
