The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to sport a 6.3-inch display, while the Pro Max may feature a 6.9-inch panel. Both models are likely to include upgraded LTPO+ OLED displays for better brightness and power efficiency. Notably, the Pro Max may become slightly thicker to accommodate a larger battery of up to 5,200mAh.5
In addition to the iPhones, Apple is rumored to introduce the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, which may include a new processor and improved health features. However, a new Apple Watch SE is not expected this year. Reports suggest that Apple is exploring advanced blood-pressure-related notifications, but full medical-grade readings are not anticipated.

The most exciting speculation surrounds a potential foldable iPhone, possibly dubbed the iPhone Ultra, featuring a 5.5-inch outer display and a 7.8-inch inner screen. Pricing for this device could exceed $2,000, and production challenges may delay its release.7
While Apple has not confirmed the event date, multiple sources indicate a possible launch on September 7. As always, details remain speculative until officially announced by the company.2
“Rumors also point to a book-style foldable iPhone dubbed the iPhone Ultra, with a ~7.8-inch inner display and pricing near or above $2,000, though production challenges could delay its release. Separately, leaks suggest iPhone 18 Pro models will add a smaller Dynamic Island and a variable-aperture main camera, powered by an A20 Pro chip.”
