Apple to Launch iPhone 18 Pro Series in September; Base Model Delayed to 2027
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max on September 9, 2026, with pre-orders starting September 12 and sales from September 18. The base iPhone 18 launch is reportedly delayed until early 2027, focusing this year on premium Pro models and the first foldable iPhone. Pricing leaks suggest the iPhone 18 Pro series may cost more than the iPhone 17 Pro, with prices potentially reaching up to Rs 1.54 lakh in India. Key design and specification details remain disputed ahead of the launch.
