Overview
- Multiple reports point to iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max — and possibly an iPhone Fold — launching in September 2026, with standard models likely slipping to early 2027.
- New leaks suggest the Pro models will largely mirror the iPhone 17’s exterior, with talk of a cleaner front from under‑display Face ID or a smaller punch‑hole camera still unconfirmed.
- Expected internal upgrades include A20/A20 Pro chips on TSMC’s 2nm process, Apple’s C2 modem, and camera changes such as a variable‑aperture main lens and higher‑resolution selfie camera.
- Fresh chatter highlights battery and sensor improvements for the Pro line, with Pro Max rumored to add capacity and adopt faster stacked image sensors sourced from suppliers.
- Early India pricing rumors peg the iPhone 18 around Rs 84,900, the 18 Pro near Rs 1,34,900, the 18 Pro Max about Rs 1,49,900, and the foldable near Rs 1,99,900, though none are confirmed.
