How the new iPhone 18 Pro compares to previous generation models
Apple is shaking up its release schedule with the new iPhone 18 Pro lineup and upcoming foldable devices.
Apple's release schedule for the latest generation of iPhones is proving to be quite unusual. The rollout begins with the iPhone 18 Pro models, alongside plans for a foldable iPhone Duo arriving in October with a price tag of $1,999.
Meanwhile, the tech giant has not yet confirmed an official launch date for the standard base iPhone 18 model. As a result, current industry analysis is focused entirely on the flagship iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max versions.
This staggered approach highlights shifts in Apple's product strategy, setting higher expectations for how these new pro devices stack up against last-gen alternatives in terms of features and performance.
For global tech markets, including tech enthusiasts in Central Asia, Apple's high-end releases closely dictate premium smartphone trends and influence consumer purchasing decisions.
As the rest of the lineup, including base models and foldable tech, gets clarified throughout the year, the broader mobile market will likely see increased competition and evolving user expectations.
