iPhone 18 Pro Becomes the Latest Celebrity Favorite

The latest iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max have begun making their presence felt among Bollywood celebrities. Even before the official sale began in India, several film and television personalities were spotted with Apple's newest Pro models.

Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia Deshmukh are among the celebrities associated with the new iPhone 18 Pro series. Genelia was seen with the Burgundy color variant, one of the four colors offered for the new Pro models.

Other celebrities, including Neha Dhupia and Karishma Tanna, have also shared images featuring the Burgundy iPhone 18 Pro Max, adding to the buzz surrounding Apple's latest flagship smartphone.

iPhone 18 Pro Sale Starts in India

Apple officially made the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max available in India on September 18, 2026, following pre-orders that began on September 12.

The iPhone 18 Pro starts at ₹164,900 in India, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at ₹179,900 for the 256GB variant. Both models are available in black, silver, glacier, and burgundy finishes.

What Makes the iPhone 18 Pro Special?

Apple has introduced several upgrades with the new Pro series. The phones feature the A20 Pro chip, a new-generation cooling system, and an upgraded camera setup.

The iPhone 18 Pro series also gets a 48MP Pro Fusion camera system, including a variable-aperture main camera designed to improve low-light photography and video performance. The phones also feature an 18MP Center Stage front camera.

The iPhone 18 Pro has a 6.3-inch display, while the Pro Max comes with a larger 6.9-inch display. Both use Super Retina XDR displays and support ProMotion technology.

Bollywood Connection Started at the Apple Event

The celebrity interest around the new iPhone was also visible at Apple's launch event earlier this month. AP Dhillon and Triptii Dimri were among the Bollywood and entertainment personalities associated with the event.

Now that the phones have officially gone on sale, celebrity posts featuring the new models are adding another layer to the launch buzz.

Burgundy Becomes a Talking Point

One of the visual highlights of this year's Pro lineup is the burgundy finish. Genelia Deshmukh was reported to have opted for this color, while other celebrities have also been seen with the same variant.

The color is available across both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max lineups. 

A Premium Upgrade for Celebrity Lifestyle

Bollywood celebrities are frequently associated with premium gadgets, cars, and luxury lifestyle products. The arrival of the iPhone 18 Pro has therefore naturally become a part of celebrity social media content.

With its premium pricing, upgraded cameras, A20 Pro chip, and new color options, Apple's latest Pro lineup is now attracting attention not only from technology enthusiasts but also from entertainment fans following what their favorite stars are using.

The growing number of celebrity posts also gives fans a glimpse into how quickly new flagship smartphones become part of celebrity lifestyles and social media trends.
