Apple’s September iPhones Go All High-End
Apple is expected to introduce three new iPhones next month: the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable model, reportedly called the iPhone Ultra. The Pro phones are rumored to bring an A20 Pro chip, upgraded cameras with variable aperture, a smaller Dynamic Island, Apple’s C2 modem, and improved battery life.
The iPhone Ultra would be the bigger departure. Reports point to a book-style foldable with roughly a 5.4-inch outer screen and 7.8-inch inner display, two rear cameras, Touch ID instead of Face ID, and iOS 27 features designed around multitasking. Its price is expected to exceed $2,000.
Notably absent are the regular iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2. Those models are reportedly being pushed into early 2027, leaving Apple's September lineup focused entirely on premium devices.
My Thoughts: A September iPhone launch without a standard model would already feel unusual. Adding Apple’s first foldable at the same time makes this look less like the usual yearly refresh and more like a reshuffling of what an iPhone launch is supposed to be.
