Apple Plans 2026 Launch Featuring iPhone 18 Pro Series and First Foldable ModelPreviousNext

Apple is expected to launch its 2026 iPhone lineup with a focus on premium models, including the iPhone 18 Pro series and its first foldable smartphone, likely named iPhone Ultra. The Pro models may feature a 2nm A20 Pro chip, design refinements, and enhanced satellite connectivity. The foldable iPhone, reportedly in early production, is expected to have limited color options, with white confirmed and possibly black, avoiding brighter tones due to manufacturing constraints.
