Apple to Launch iPhone 18 Pro Models with Incremental Upgrades in September 2026
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September 2026, with the standard iPhone 18 and a new iPhone 18e delayed to spring 2027. The Pro models will feature incremental upgrades including a new A20 chip built on a 2nm process, camera improvements such as a variable-aperture main lens with a Sony IMX905 sensor, a smaller Dynamic Island, and enhanced battery efficiency. Design changes are minimal, focusing on refinement rather than overhaul, while new color options are anticipated. Apple may also introduce its first foldable iPhone alongside the Pro models.
