Early iPhone 18 Pro users report discoloration, particularly on Burgundy and Black models. The fading appears to start around the camera lenses and spread across the aluminum chassis, similar to issues with iPhone 17 Pro last year. Reddit posts show units turning pale after exposure to sunlight. UV light is suspected as the cause, with users advised to use cases and await Apple's response. Apple replaced affected units previously, so a similar resolution is expected. GSMArena notes their own Burgundy iPhone 18 Pro Max shows no issues, likely due to limited outdoor use.
Prices for iPhone 18 Pro start at €1,449 for 256GB, while iPhone 18 Pro Max begins at €1,599. Both models feature 12GB RAM and are available in 256GB and 512GB configurations.
