Apple to Launch iPhone 18 Pro Series with Upgrades and Higher Prices in September
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in early September 2026, featuring the new A20 Pro chip built on a 2nm process, larger batteries, and a variable-aperture main camera. The Pro Max model may be thicker due to a bigger battery and cooling system. Prices in India are anticipated to rise, potentially starting around Rs 1,39,900 to Rs 1,54,900, influenced by increased memory costs. Apple is also set to unveil its first foldable iPhone alongside other devices later this year.
