Overview
- Reporting Thursday outlines a fall launch for iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max alongside Apple’s first foldable, all based on unconfirmed leaks.
- Leaks point to the Pro models getting a 2nm A20 Pro chip, hardware camera gains such as variable aperture parts, and a cleaner front design that could shrink or hide Face ID elements.
- Supply‑chain reports say Apple is pressing on with an ultra‑thin iPhone Air 2 that adds a second rear camera, a next‑gen A20 Pro processor, and Apple’s in‑house C2 modem.
- Multiple outlets say Apple is weighing a split schedule that moves the base iPhone 18, the Air 2, and a lower‑cost 18e into early 2027.
- The foldable—often called iPhone Ultra in leaks—is tipped to use a book‑style 7.8‑inch inner screen, a 5.5‑inch cover screen, Touch ID, a large battery, and a price above $2,000, with details unconfirmed by Apple.
