Overview
- Multiple outlets on Thursday cited leaker Instant Digital saying Apple will skip a black finish on iPhone 18 Pro again, with a deep red option reportedly in testing instead.
- Reporting compiled by MacRumors, The Sunday Guardian, Times Now, and AppleInsider says Apple is expected to unveil iPhone 18 Pro models and a foldable in September 2026, with the foldable and some standard models likely shipping later.
- Leaked screen protectors and tipster posts indicate the iPhone 18 Pro will cut the Dynamic Island by about 35 percent by moving the Face ID flood illuminator under the display, trimming the pill-shaped cutout at the top of the screen.
- For the foldable, leaks describe a book-style device that uses a single hole‑punch selfie camera on the outer screen and Touch ID instead of Face ID because the face-scanning hardware is too thick for the design.
- CADs and analyst notes point to an outer display near 5.5 inches, an inner screen around 7.8 inches, a stainless steel–titanium hinge, and a tentative India price rumor near Rs 2 lakh that remains unconfirmed.
