Overview
- Recent leaks indicate the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected in September 2026 alongside a first foldable iPhone, with standard models likely slipping to early 2027, though Apple has not confirmed timing.
- Fresh reports this week suggest the iPhone 18 Pro will largely retain the iPhone 17 Pro’s exterior, even as other tipsters point to testing of a punch‑hole front camera, under‑display Face ID, or a smaller Dynamic Island.
- Multiple outlets report the lineup is set to move to new A20 and A20 Pro chips built on TSMC’s 2nm process, with some leaks also mentioning an updated C2 modem for connectivity gains.
- Camera hardware is rumored to be a focus for 2026, including a variable‑aperture main camera on Pro models and a possible 24MP upgrade for the front camera, all still unconfirmed.
- Leak-based details for the foldable point to a 7.8‑inch inner screen, a 5.5‑inch cover display, a revised button layout with power‑button Touch ID, and a premium India price estimate around Rs 1,99,900.
