Apple officially announces iPhone 18 Pro and foldable iPhone event: ‘Surprise and shine’

Apple has officially announced its upcoming iPhone 18 Pro lineup and foldable iPhone event, scheduled for September 9 at 10 am PT. Titled "Surprise and shine," the invitation features a glowing Apple logo with a sun shining through. The event will see the launch of three new iPhones: the iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and iPhone Air 2, with the latter two expected to follow in spring 2027.

The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected to retain similar designs and display sizes, with upgrades focusing on new display, camera, and connectivity technology. Rumors suggest a variable-aperture Main camera, a smaller Dynamic Island, and Apple’s C2 cellular modem. The most significant announcement, however, is Apple’s first foldable iPhone, rumored to be called iPhone Ultra.

This device is expected to use a book-style design with a 5.3-5.5-inch outer display and a 7.6-7.8-inch inner display, a titanium frame, an ultra-thin design, and a virtually crease-free display.
