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.

Pushpa 2 And Its Share Of Controversies: Allu Arjun’s Arrest And More

As Allu Arjun gets arrested in connection with the death of a woman in a stampede-like situation that resulted because of his surprise visit outside a cinema hall, here’s looking at the number of times Pushpa 2: The Rule has been in the eye of a controversy: 

Previously, a case was registered against Allu Arjun over his 'army' remark that offended a man named Srinivas Goud. He filed a case against him and said that the term 'army' is an honourable designation reserved for those who protect the country.

In one news, actor Siddharth said that large crowds gathering for a film’s premiere is not necessarily indicative of the film's quality.

Devi Sri Prasad, a long-time collaborator of Allu Arjun, was semi-replaced by Sam CS for the background score of Pushpa 2. The change in this longstanding collaboration has drawn considerable attention.

Allu Arjun meanwhile has been taken to police station in connection with the death of a woman who came to attend Pushpa 2: The Rule premiere in Hyderabad.
