Apple’s big September event is this Wednesday , and the company has three new iPhone models set to launch: iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Ultra. Here’s what to expect.
The foldable form factor should make iPhone Ultra the most radically unique model Apple has yet introduced. In any case, the absence of more affordable models means this fall’s new iPhone line will focus solely on the high end. Are you planning to upgrade to a new iPhone this fall? Which model? Let us know in the comments.
It will have a wide book-style fold, with a roughly 5.4-inch outer display and 7.8-inch inner display that resembles an iPad mini. Normally we would expect a new base model iPhone 18 to launch in September too, alongside an iPhone Air successor. It’s unknown whether this change is entirely strategic, or simply out of necessity due to the current memory crisis.
Performance should be about the same as iPhone 18 Pro, with the same A20 Pro chip, a vapor chamber for cooling, and a C2 modem. Design materials are expected to mimic the iPhone Air, with a titanium border and sleek look. iPhone Ultra will have two rear cameras (Main and Ultra Wide) plus two front-facing cameras, one for each display. It will use Touch ID for authentication rather than Face ID.
