Overview
- Apple, which unveiled the new products on Sept. 9, introduced the iPhone Duo foldable plus the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max alongside new Apple Watch and AirPods models.
- The iPhone Duo folds to a 5.4‑inch outer screen and opens to a 7.6‑inch inner display while adding dual 48MP Fusion cameras, side‑mounted Touch ID, Apple Pencil support later this year, and eSIM‑only designs in many markets.
- Both Pro models are powered by Apple’s A20 Pro chip and the new C2 modem and include a 48MP Fusion main camera with a mechanical variable aperture plus larger batteries and a redesigned vapour chamber for sustained performance.
- Apple set higher starting prices and staggered launch dates with Pro preorders on Sept. 12 and retail on Sept. 18 while the Duo begins preorders Oct. 16 and ships Oct. 23, and the company says early stock will be constrained.
- Software updates will roll out with iOS 27 and expanded Apple Intelligence features including a revamped Siri, plus Apple Reference Images to flag AI‑generated photos, changes that affect privacy, carrier eSIM readiness, and how people use cameras and apps.
