The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to see a steep price hike due to expensive component upgrades. The shift to TSMC's 2nm A20 Pro chip, a mechanical variable aperture camera, 12GB RAM, and a vapour chamber cooling system significantly drive up costs.

iPhone 18 Pro could get much more expensive: Here's why

The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to launch on September 9 with five major upgrades. Rumours point to a 2nm A20 Pro chip, a variable aperture camera, a 35 per cent smaller Dynamic Island, an in-house C2 5G modem, and 12GB of RAM for AI workloads.

iPhone 18 Pro launch: 5 things Apple could change this year

The iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to cross the Rs 2 lakh mark in India for its highest storage variants. The 2TB model could reach Rs 2,30,000, driven by the costly 2nm A20 Pro chip, 12GB RAM, variable aperture camera, and heavy local taxation.

The A20 Pro shifts to a 2nm node, upgrading from the 3nm A19 Pro. It features a 7-core GPU, 8MB efficiency cache, and a 96-bit memory bus. New WMCM packaging and 12GB RAM deliver 30 per cent better power efficiency.

A20 Pro vs A19 Pro: What will actually change?

Apple is reducing the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro by 35 per cent, shrinking it from 20.7mm to 13.5mm. By moving the Face ID flood illuminator and infrared sensors under the display, Apple reclaims screen space while preserving functionality.

What Did Nostradamus Predict for 2025?

Russia-Ukraine War to End

Natural Disasters and Climate Change

England Plague and War

Technological Advancements

Asteroid Collision

Space Exploration

Economic Crisis

Natural Disasters in Brazil

Nostradamus was a 16th-century French astrologer and seer, who is famous for his book “Les Prophetis” which contains several predictions related to significant world events, and lot of them proved to be true, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Here is what Nostradamus predicted for 2025:

While the predictions for 2024 by Nostradamus mentioned the continuation of a continent-wide war, 2025 may witness the end of one of the ongoing war due to the exhaustion of armies and resources. This prediction is often linked to the Russia-Ukraine war.

In the predictions of 2025, Nostradamus often mentioned floods, droughts, and earthquakes. He used terms like “earth shaking” and “rivers overflowing”, which could be a hint at the increasing natural disasters due to climate change.

Nostradamus predicted that in 2025, England will see “cruel wars” and an “ancient plague” outbreak that would be “worse than enemies”.

In his book, Nostradamus mentioned “machines rising” for the 2025 predictions. This prediction could be hinting at the rise in artificial intelligence and robotics, along with other technologies.

According to Nostradamus predictions, a giant asteroid may strike Earth or come very near to Earth in 2025. Although asteroids coming in close proximity to Earth is not an unusual phenomenon and has occurred many times.


According to an interpretation of predictions by Nostradamus, 2025 could be a year that witnesses a milestone in space exploration. The phrases “lights in the sky” and “new worlds discovered” used by him may be a reference to upcoming Moon and Mars missions.


In his prophesies for 2025, Nostradamus wrote “fortunes being lost overnight.” This prediction could mean global volatile economic conditions during the coming year.


According to the prophecy, the South American country of Brazil referred to as the “Garden of the World” by Nostradamus may witness floods and volcanic eruptions due to climate change.
