Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone, potentially named iPhone Ultra or iPhone Fold, at its upcoming event. The device is rumored to be a 'passport-style' foldable with a screen aspect ratio of approximately 4:3 when closed. Due to its slim profile, it may feature Touch ID instead of Face ID.
The company is also expected to introduce the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. These models will likely feature the A20 chip, optimized imaging systems, a smaller Dynamic Island, and new colors. Notably, Apple may shift to a staggered release strategy, launching Pro models in autumn and standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 models in March 2026.
Home products are also in focus. A new Apple TV set-top box with a more powerful chip and AI-powered Siri is expected. The HomePod mini is rumored to receive a chip upgrade for AI Siri support. Additionally, a 'HomePad'—a smart speaker with a multi-touch screen—may be introduced to control smart home devices.
The event will likely include minor updates to the AirPods series and the new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4. The Series 12 may reintroduce ceramic cases and new strap options, with improved chip performance and enhanced fitness tracking, including potential all-day heart rate monitoring.
Apple will showcase the final versions of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27. A specialized dual-screen version of iOS 27 for the foldable iPhone is highly anticipated. Due to memory shortages caused by AI, prices for the iPhone 18 Pro series are expected to rise significantly compared to the iPhone 17 Pro series.
