Overview
- India Today reports Apple may skip launching a standard iPhone 18 at the fall 2026 event, focusing instead on iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and a first iPhone Fold, with the base model possibly pushed to early 2027.
- NDTV Profit outlines an alternate timeline that places the standard iPhone 18 in spring 2026 with an A20 chip, a reduced or removed Dynamic Island, and no Camera Control button.
- The iPhone 18 Pro models are widely tipped for September 2026 featuring a 2nm A20 Pro chip, under‑display Face ID with a punch‑hole selfie camera, a variable mechanical aperture on the main lens, and a larger battery for the Pro Max.
- Reports describe the iPhone Fold as a book‑style device with a roughly 7.6–7.8‑inch inner screen and 5.3–5.5‑inch cover display, a titanium frame, a minimal crease, and a possible Touch ID setup, with one report pegging price near $2,400.
- Beyond phones, NDTV Profit cites expected 2026 updates including an OLED MacBook Pro with M6 on a 2nm process, a lower‑cost MacBook using an A18 Pro chip, a mini‑LED Studio Display, and a HomePad smart‑home hub, all unconfirmed by Apple.
