Apple’s big September event is this Wednesday and the company has three new iPhone models ready to launch: iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone Ultra. This is what you can expect. iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are the successors to Apple’s popular 17 Pro line. Rumored new features include: The iPhone 18 Pro is also expected to have a higher starting price. Estimates suggest it could start at $1,399, but I suspect it could be closer to $1,199 or $1,249. iPhone Ultra iPhone Ultra is the rumored name for Apple’s first foldable phone, and its expected price of more than $2,000 creates a new level of high-end. The foldable form factor should make the iPhone Ultra the most radically unique model Apple has introduced yet. It will have a wide book-style fold, with a roughly 5.4-inch outer screen and a 7.8-inch inner screen that resembles an iPad mini. The design materials are expected to mimic the iPhone Air, with a titanium edge and sleek appearance. The iPhone Ultra will have two rear cameras (main and ultrawide) plus two front cameras, one for each screen. It will use Touch ID for authentication instead of Face ID. Software will be where the device especially shines, with iOS 27 supporting side-by-side multitasking apps and responsive horizontal layouts that are perfect for the new form factor. Performance should be about the same as the iPhone 18 Pro, with the same A20 Pro chip, a vapor chamber for cooling, and a C2 modem. What’s missing: iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 Normally, we’d expect a new iPhone 18 base model to also launch in September, along with a successor to the iPhone Air. However, this year, Apple is reportedly overhauling its fall lineup by launching the iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 in early 2027. It is unknown if this change is completely strategic or simply out of necessity due to the current memory crisis. In any case, the absence of more affordable models means that this fall’s new iPhone lineup will focus solely on the high-end. Thinking about upgrading to a new iPhone this fall? What model?
