iPhone 18 launch is days away: iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max or Fold — which one actually makes sense for you?
For the first time, Apple is splitting its iPhone lineup across two seasons. According to reports, the standard iPhone 18 and the budget iPhone 18e have been pushed to spring 2027, alongside a second-generation iPhone Air.

Apple is set to launch three new iPhones in September 2027: the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Fold. This marks a shift in the company's product strategy, as the standard iPhone 18 and budget iPhone 18e have been delayed to spring 2027.
The iPhone 18 Pro targets users who desire flagship-level performance and camera capabilities without wanting a large phone. Rumors suggest a 6.3-inch display and the A20 Pro chip with a 2nm manufacturing process. It is expected to cost around $1,299, slightly higher than the previous iPhone 17 Pro.
The iPhone 18 Pro Max maintains the brand's flagship status, with a larger 6.9-inch display and an even bigger battery. Pricing estimates for this model range from $1,199 to $1,499, depending on the source.
The iPhone Fold, Apple's first foldable device, is expected to be priced starting at around $2,000. It features a 7.7-7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-5.5-inch outer screen, providing a tablet-like experience when unfolded. The device is rumored to use Apple's A20 chip, dual 48MP cameras, and potentially Touch ID instead of Face ID. However, early interest in the Fold has been limited, with only a small percentage of respondents showing interest in purchasing one.
