Overview
- High-profile leaks from Jon Prosser show a book-style design with a roughly 5.5-inch cover screen and a 7.8-inch inner display, plus a plan to minimize the crease using a metal pressure plate and liquid metal hinge.
- The leaked specs include about 9mm thickness when closed and ~4.5mm when open, four cameras, a return of Touch ID in the power button, a C2 modem, and two color options (black and white).
- Multiple outlets report a September 2026 reveal alongside iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, with some suggesting Apple could skip a standard iPhone 18 at that event or shift its timing.
- Analyst notes flagged expected early supply constraints and uncertain ramp timing, with some forecasts cautioning that smoother, higher-volume shipments may not arrive until 2027.
- Price guesses remain unsettled, with a widely cited $2,000–$2,500 range contrasted by a single-source rumor targeting under $2,000, and none of the details confirmed by Apple.
