The device is expected to use a book-style, passport-like folding design, with reports pointing to a roughly 5.3-inch outer display and a 7.7-inch inner screen. It could feature two rear cameras, a front camera and Touch ID integrated into the power button rather than Face ID.The reason this launch matters is positioning: Apple could use the Ultra name to establish foldables as a new premium category rather than simply adding a folding version of an existing iPhone. Reports have placed the US starting price somewhere between $1,999 and $2,499, making it potentially the company's most expensive iPhone. Supply-chain reporting also suggests Apple may initially produce the device in relatively limited quantities, making availability another important part of the announcement.iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max bring the A20 Pro upgradeThe iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to form the core of Apple's conventional flagship lineup. Multiple reports point to Apple's new A20 Pro chip, a smaller Dynamic Island and camera improvements. The Pro Max could additionally receive a variable-aperture camera and a larger battery.Colour reports have changed repeatedly during the development cycle. The most consistently reported new shade is Dark Cherry, a deep red-purple finish. Other reported options have included Light Blue, Silver, Dark Gray and Black, although recent reporting suggests Apple may settle on a three-colour selection.The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max could be more expensive in India, with reports suggesting a Rs 10,000–Rs 20,000 increase. The Pro could start around ₹1.6 lakh, while the Pro Max may cross ₹1.7 lakh. The iPhone 17 Pro Max started at ₹1,49,900 in India Apple is yet to confirm pricing, with final figures expected at launch.Expected specificationiPhone 18 ProiPhone 18 Pro MaxProcessorA20 ProA20 ProDisplayProMotion OLED, smaller Dynamic IslandLarger ProMotion OLED, smaller Dynamic IslandMain cameraUpgraded camera systemUpgraded system, possible variable apertureFront cameraExpected 24MPExpected 24MPBatteryAround 5,000 mAhAround 5,200 mAhExpected coloursDark Cherry, Light Blue, Silver/BlackDark Cherry, Light Blue, Silver/BlackThese specifications remain unconfirmed until Apple takes the stage.
