Apple is set to hold an event today at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, where it is expected to unveil several new products. These include the first-ever foldable iPhone, codenamed iPhone Duo, as well as the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, AirPods 5, and potentially more. The following are 20 last-minute rumors about these devices, all reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman today.
The foldable iPhone will be named iPhone Duo. It will support Apple Pencil and will have a dual rear camera setup with 48-megapixel lenses. The device will start at $1,999 in the U.S., with storage options beginning at 256GB. It will be powered by Apple's A20 Pro chip and C2 modem for 5G connectivity. The iPhone Duo will feature dual rear cameras, one of which will lack a Telephoto lens.
The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will have exclusive dark red color options. They will boast longer battery life, particularly the Pro Max model, and an enhanced vapor chamber system to prevent overheating. At least one Pro model's camera will feature variable aperture for better depth of field control. Apple has decided not to announce a standard iPhone 18 model, planning to release it in early 2027 instead.
The U.S. pricing for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will be $100 higher than their iPhone 17 Pro counterparts. This means the Pro model will launch at $1,199 and the Pro Max at $1,299. The iPhone 18 Pro's smaller Dynamic Island will be able to display three Live Activities, compared to the current two. However, a regular iPhone 18 model is not expected today, with Apple planning to introduce it in Q1 2027.
The Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 will receive new case color options. The Series 12 will include a ceramic case, while the Ultra 4 will offer extended battery life over its predecessor. A new Readiness app and a daily summary feature will debut with the new Apple Watch models. AirPods 5 will also be unveiled, with some models offering active noise cancellation.
