Overview
- Apple confirmed a global keynote for September 9, 2026, and multiple outlets report the company is expected to introduce iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max plus a first Apple foldable at that event.
- Several news sites and industry leaks say the regular iPhone 18, any new Air model and the iPhone 18e are likely delayed into spring 2027 rather than launching with the Pro models.
- Leaks and analyst notes report that Pro models will use a new A20 chip built on a 2‑nanometer process from TSMC that could offer about 15 percent more performance and roughly 30 percent better energy efficiency.
- Price forecasts from Idealo and market observers project the iPhone 18 Pro could start near €1,399 while an Apple foldable may sit well above €2,000, with projected early post‑launch drops of roughly €200 or about 14–19 percent within months.
- Independent resale tracking from Geizhals shows steep recent depreciation for current models (the iPhone Air fell about 29 percent in ~11 months), which reinforces advice from analysts that waiting several months may yield substantial savings and affect trade‑in values.
