Apple’s September lineup: iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and a $2,000 foldable Ultra

Apple's fall iPhone event is expected to look different this year. Rather than unveiling four closely related models, rumors point to a flagship-only September lineup consisting of three premium models: iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and Apple's first foldable, widely expected to be called iPhone Ultra.

For the familiar option, iPhone 18 Pro rumors include a smaller Dynamic Island, a 2nm A20 Pro chip, Apple's C2 modem, longer battery life, and major camera upgrades. The larger display Pro Max could stand apart with a significantly larger battery, while retaining the traditional iPhone design and three-camera system.

The rumored iPhone Ultra is this year's most radical choice: a book-style foldable with a roughly 5.5-inch outer display and 7.8-inch inner screen, a thin titanium body, Touch ID instead of Face ID, and just two rear cameras. Reports suggest a crease-free display and A20 Pro performance, but also a starting price around $2,000 or higher. Assuming the rumors hold, which new iPhone are you planning to buy?
