During Apple's September 2026 event, it is anticipated that the company will reveal several new products, according to credible rumors. The most prominent among these is expected to be the iPhone 18 Pro and its Pro Max counterpart. The devices are rumored to retain the current Pro design but boast several internal and camera upgrades.
These enhancements may include Apple's new A20 Pro chip, built on a 2-nanometer manufacturing process, a more efficient display, extended battery life, and a variable-aperture main camera. The report also suggests Apple could utilize its own modem for international models, while relying on Qualcomm hardware in U.S. versions due to mmWave support.
The next-generation C2 modem is widely speculated to feature in these models. Sources also indicate that the foldable iPhone, Apple's first of its kind, will likely join the lineup. This book-style foldable will feature a 5.5-inch outer display and a 7.8-inch inner display that expands into a tablet-sized form. Apple's efforts to reduce the visible crease in previous foldable designs are noted, with expectations that Samsung has developed a new display panel to address this issue.
The foldable may also replace Face ID with Touch ID integrated into the power button, powered by a dual-camera rear system. While Bloomberg expects the foldable to debut during the September event, supply-chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts a possible delay until the fourth quarter. In terms of camera upgrades, the main 48-megapixel camera on both the Pro models may receive a variable aperture, improving low-light photography and providing photographers more control over depth of field.
Shifting focus to Apple's flagship smartwatch, the Series 12 is anticipated to focus on improved performance, continued health and fitness tracking enhancements, and possible battery life improvements. The Apple Watch Ultra 4 is expected to receive many of the same improvements as the Series 12, including a newer processor and refinements.
