Published on January 18, 2026
Hello, tech enthusiast in-law! Hoi Li here with my calculator and my tech blog bookmarks. The iPhone 18 Pro leaks are flying, and I know you're already planning your budget. Let's talk specs first, then we'll talk Naira.
1. The Specs: What's New in iPhone 18 Pro?
According to the latest leaks from MacRumors, 9to5Mac, and GSMArena:
- Under-Screen Face ID: The Dynamic Island is shrinking! Apple is testing under-display Face ID for the Pro models, meaning a cleaner screen with just a small punch-hole for the camera.
- Display Sizes: iPhone 18 Pro at 6.3 inches, Pro Max at 6.9 inches—both with 120Hz LTPO OLED panels.
- A20 Pro Chip: Built on a 2nm process with Apple's in-house C2 modem. This is the "brain" upgrade we've been waiting for.
- Triple 48MP Cameras: Main lens with variable aperture, periscope telephoto, and ultrawide. The front camera jumps to 18MP or 24MP.
- 12GB RAM: LPDDR5 for smoother multitasking and AI features.
2. The iPhone Fold: Liquid Metal Dreams
The iPhone Fold rumors are even wilder. Leaks suggest a liquid metal hinge (amorphous alloy for durability), a 7.8-inch inner display, and a 5.5-inch outer screen. It's expected to launch in late 2026 or early 2027, with a starting price around $2,000+.
3. Hoi Li's Naira Reality Check
As your CPA, here's the math:
- iPhone 18 Pro Max: ~$1,199 USD → ₦3.5M+ after Customs (20%) + VAT (7.5%) at ₦1,700/$.
- iPhone Fold: ~$2,000+ USD → ₦6M+ landed cost. Yes, you read that right.
