Is it still supported?
Apple publishes no end date, and this site does not guess one. The support card on the iPhone 18 Pro page says what is known and where it came from.endoflife.date — iPhone, retrieved 2026-09-10
What the iPhone Duo changes
This line has nothing newer on this site; the newest Apple phone within a year of it is the iPhone Duo at £1,999, released 23 October 2026. Judged row by row against our published thresholds; the full table is at iPhone Duo vs iPhone 18 Pro.
On the makers’ published figures, the iPhone Duo wins on display size (7.6 in against 6.3 in); the iPhone 18 Pro wins on weight (211 g against 254 g). One gap is borderline, a difference most people would not notice: claimed video playback (34 h against 31 h) for the iPhone 18 Pro. Both state the same refresh rate, peak brightness, typical brightness, HDR peak brightness, storage (base), RAM and wireless charging. The other 32 rows have no threshold or no direction to judge by, so nobody wins them.
- Display size: 6.3 in → 7.6 in
- Claimed video playback: 34 h → 31 h borderline; marginal — most people won’t notice.
Other makers at the price
Phones from other makers released within a year of the iPhone Duo and priced within a quarter of its £1,999, nearest price first, each judged the same way against your iPhone 18 Pro — or, where that pair is not one this site indexes, against the iPhone Duo.

Our reading of the figures
Apple publishes no end date for the iPhone 18 Pro’s security updates, so support is not a reason to move until it is.
The iPhone Duo clears our noticeable threshold on one row: display size. One more gap is borderline, which most people would not notice. You would give up weight.
The iPhone Duo is £1,999 new; we hold no trade-in figure for the iPhone 18 Pro yet.
Every sentence above is built from the figures on this page by a rule, not written for this phone: a support date, the rows that clear a published threshold, a price and a trade-in. There is no score and no recommendation. The methodology page has the thresholds and where they come from. Every phone’s version of this page is listed at All upgrade questions.
