Yahoo Tech • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple is expected to unveil its 2026 iPhone lineup in September, featuring the highly anticipated foldable iPhone, potentially called the iPhone Ultra, alongside the iPhone 18 series including the 18, 18e, Pro, and possibly an iPhone Air 2.
- The iPhone Ultra is rumored to have a foldable design with a 5.5-inch external display and a 7.8-inch internal display, titanium and aluminum construction, Touch ID instead of Face ID, and a price potentially exceeding $2,000.
- The iPhone 18 Pro models will likely feature an A20 chip, LTPO+ display technology, an upgraded camera with an adjustable aperture lens, and new colors such as light blue and dark cherry, with a starting price possibly around $1,299.
- Apple may stagger the release dates, with high-end models launching in September 2026 and more affordable models like the iPhone 18, 18e, and Air 2 shipping in early 2027, marking a shift from their usual simultaneous release schedule.
- Price increases are anticipated across the lineup due to rising component costs, with Apple CEO Tim Cook acknowledging the unsustainable nature of shielding customers from these hikes amid industry-wide supply challenges.
