6 last-minute Apple event rumors: iPhone price hikes, AirPods with cameras
In a matter of hours, Apple is going to show off the iPhone 18 lineup, and rumors are still coming in fresh.
In the lead-up to Apple's annual September event, numerous rumors have surfaced, including potential price hikes for new iPhones and the introduction of AirPods with cameras. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the foldable iPhone, dubbed the iPhone Duo, will come in white and dark blue and cost $2,000 for 256GB of storage. The device will reportedly support Apple Pencil and may be available for shipment as early as October.
Meanwhile, case renders for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max have been leaked, suggesting they will be short and wide with two rear cameras. However, no renders of the base-model iPhone 18 have emerged, hinting at a possible delayed release next spring. Despite earlier speculation, Gurman forecasts only a modest price increase of around $100 for the iPhone Duo and Pro models, addressing concerns about the rising cost of memory.
Additionally, Apple is expected to unveil the next-generation AirPods 5 during the event, with the camera-equipped AirPods Pro Ultra set to follow shortly after.
