Apple's September event this Wednesday is expected to introduce three new high-end iPhones: the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a first-ever foldable model dubbed iPhone Ultra priced above $2,000. The base iPhone 18 and an Air successor are reportedly being delayed until early 2027, leaving this year's lineup focused entirely on premium devices.
Apple has scheduled its major fall event for September 9, where it is expected to introduce three new iPhone models—two iPhone 18 Pro variants and its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Ultra—alongside two Apple Watch models and updated AirPods 5. Rumors also suggest Apple could reveal new smart home products, including a long-rumored home hub with a display, while other devices may be held back for an October launch.
A Chinese Weibo leaker known as Fried White Rice shared circuit board diagrams believed to relate to Apple's next A20 Pro chip, expected in iPhone 18 Pro models. Based on solder-ball placement, the leaker infers the chip keeps a 2+4 CPU core setup but increases small-core L2 cache to 8MB, and likely moves from six to seven GPU cores.
