New Delhi. (Apple) has finally announced the date of its biggest event of 2026. The company is going to organize a special launch event on September 9 and with this, the eyes of Apple fans around the world are now fixed on the new iPhone. The company has kept the theme of the event (Surprise and Shine). Although Apple has not yet officially revealed the names of all the products to be launched, but looking at the reports and previous launch trends, expectations about the iPhone 18 Pro are quite strong. Apart from this, the biggest discussion of this event is about Apple's first foldable iPhone.
Media reports have been claiming for a long time that Apple may introduce its first foldable smartphone this year. According to reports, the name of this device may be iPhone Fold Ultra. Apple's foldable phone has been awaited for a long time because after the company enters this segment, the competition in the premium smartphone market will become even more interesting. It is being told that the company can aim to sell around 1 crore units of this phone annually. Its possible price is said to be between Rs 1.50 lakh to Rs 2 lakh, although Apple has not yet confirmed the price or official name.
On the other hand, many big upgrades are also expected for iPhone 18 Pro. According to reports, significant changes can be seen at the level of camera and display in the new iPhone. There is also talk of changes being made to Dynamic Island. However, the possibility of any major change in the overall design of the phone is said to be less. This means that Apple can significantly upgrade the device from inside while maintaining its existing design language.
Talking about possible specifications, iPhone 18 Pro can have a 6.4 inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display. The phone is expected to have Apple's new A20 Pro chip which is said to be manufactured on 2nm process. There is a possibility of getting iOS 27 as the operating system. There is talk of three 48-megapixel sensors being provided in the camera setup, while an 18-megapixel front camera can be available for selfie and video calling. However, all this information is currently based on leaks and media reports and the final specifications will be clear only at the time of launch.
Talking about the price, iPhone 18 Pro may be costlier than the current model. According to reports, its starting price in India has been estimated to be around Rs 1.50 lakh. Whereas in America its price can be around 1199 dollars. But the official price has not been disclosed by Apple yet.
Now the biggest question is what surprises does Apple bring in the event of September 9? If the company also introduces iPhone Fold Ultra along with iPhone 18 Pro, it will be a big step for Apple. Especially the company's entry in the foldable smartphone market can give rise to a new competition in the world of technology. Currently, Apple fans are waiting for September 9 when the company can unveil its new iPhone lineup and possible foldable phones.
