Reports say Pro and Pro Max models could arrive in fall 2026, with iPhone 18 and 18E following in early 2027; the Pro battery may exceed 5,000mAh.
Leaked upgrades include variable-aperture rear cameras, 24-megapixel front cameras, under-display Face ID and a narrower Dynamic Island, though some parts may be downgraded because of memory shortages.
No price rise has yet leaked, while Apple is also said to be weighing deep red, burgundy, purple or brown finishes and possible satellite-capable 5G support.
Amid a RAM crisis and potential downgrades, is the iPhone 18 a true upgrade or just a more expensive package?
At $2,000 with no telephoto lens, can Apple's first iPhone Fold truly dominate the premium market?
With a new CEO and a split launch, is Apple's strategy a clever adaptation or a sign of production weakness?
