Apple to Launch iPhone 18 Pro Models in September with Camera Upgrades and Higher Prices
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September 2026, possibly on September 9. The Pro Max model may feature exclusive upgrades, including a variable-aperture 48MP camera, improved telephoto lenses, and a larger battery. The lineup could also include Apple's A20 Pro chip and brighter displays. Prices in India are anticipated to rise by Rs 5,000 to Rs 20,000 due to increased memory costs. Additionally, Apple may introduce its first foldable iPhone later in the year.
