Apple is reportedly getting ready for its next big iPhone event on September 9, and there it’s expected to show the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max plus its first-ever foldable iPhone. Apple has confirmed the event, but most of the device details are basically coming from reports, not from any official page yet.
iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max: what’s new?
The iPhone 18 Pro models are rumored to come with Apple’s brand new A20 Pro chip, and some reports mention a 2nm process, which would mean better performance and efficiency.
The Dynamic Island might also shrink a bit, while the camera setup is expected to get a variable-aperture main camera. That could help you capture shots better across different lighting conditions. On top of that Apple may roll out its new C2 modem, aiming for improved connectivity and smoother links.
Apple’s first foldable iPhone
The real surprise moment could be Apple’s first foldable iPhone. The official name still hasn’t been confirmed, though iPhone Ultra and iPhone Fold are names floating around, in various places.
It’s expected to be Apple’s most premium iPhone, and the price could jump far above the Pro models, like a lot more than you’d expect.
Expected iPhone 18 price in India
Memory costs are reportedly rising, and that can translate to higher iPhone prices. The likely starting prices being mentioned are reports and the Apple company has not yet officially announced any.
iPhone 18 Pro: around Rs 1,54,900
iPhone 18 Pro Max: around Rs 1,69,900
Foldable iPhone: around Rs 2,59,900 to Rs 3,09,900
Why could prices rise so much?
A global memory shortage is part of the reason. Some of it is tied to the growing demand for AI data centres, which then pushes component costs upward. Apple already bumped prices on other products earlier this year, so the iPhone 18 Pro lineup could be next, if the trend continues
What about the standard iPhone 18?
Here’s the interesting twist: Apple is reportedly changing how it usually spaces out launches. The standard iPhone 18, iPhone 18e and the next-gen iPhone Air are said to land in spring 2027.
