Leaks Point to Pro-First iPhone 18 Launch, Debut of Apple’s Foldable in September 2026

Fresh analyst plus tipster leaks point to a Pro‑only September debut using a 2nm A20 Pro chip alongside Apple’s C2 modem, though details remain unverified.

Overview

  • Multiple reports now expect Apple to showcase only the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max plus an iPhone Fold in September 2026, with base models tipped for early 2027.
  • Analyst notes and new leak videos claim the A20 Pro on TSMC’s 2nm process will power these devices alongside an in‑house C2 modem for connectivity.
  • The Pro displays are rumored to shrink the visible cutout to a single punch‑hole at the top‑left as some Face ID components move under the screen, keeping Dynamic Island in a less obtrusive position.
  • Camera leaks point to triple 48‑megapixel systems on the Pros, a periscope telephoto on Pro Max, and testing of a variable‑aperture main camera for improved low‑light and depth control.
  • The foldable is described as a book‑style device with roughly a 7.8‑inch inner display and 5.3‑inch cover screen, titanium‑aluminum construction, and side Touch ID in place of Face ID.
