Apple's 2026 Shake-Up: iPhone 18 Pro Leaks While iPhone Fold Steals The Show

Apple iPhone users will face a choice this September unlike any other year, if the latest reports prove true. It looks like there will be three new models, not the usual four, and they'll include an all-new folding model for the first time. Here's what to look forward to. Apple iPhone 18 Pro: Colorful And Powerful It looks like the iPhone 18 Pro Max will no longer be the most expensive iPhone, this fall, but it will continue to be the most advanced in terms of the number of rear cameras (three). It'll have the latest processor, the A20 Pro using an advanced 2nm process. It looks like this year will be the second year running that there will be no iPhone Pro in the traditional black color, like the current iPhone 17 Pro range -- read full details of this here. However, the exact color range is not yet known, though the current hero, cosmic orange, will almost certainly be retired. Apple iPhone Fold: The New Premium Model While the Pro will continue to be the choice for many, perhaps most, iPhone users, the first folding iPhone, thought to be called iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra, will have a premium price tag and will likely be the most expensive iPhone ever. The A20 Pro chip from the iPhone 18 Pro will surely be used on the iPhone Fold, though it may have a different number of processors, and early reports suggest two external cameras, not three. But its unique extra, a display that folds out to be roughly the same size and shape as the original iPad mini, will surely attract buyers. It's certainly much talked-about at this point. What About The iPhone 18? The three phones above may also gain extra sales because it looks like the iPhone 18 won't go on sale at the same time, being held until spring 2027 alongside the iPhone 18e and a second-generation of iPhone Air. It means that in the next 12 months a record number of iPhones is expected: six in total. A bumper year for choice.
