As Apple prepares for its launch event at Apple Park in Cupertino, speculation surrounding its new devices is intensifying. Contrary to widespread expectations, the company’s forthcoming foldable iPhone may not be called the ‘iPhone Ultra’. Instead, leaks indicate Apple may market the device as the ‘iPhone Duo’.
New iPhone Lineup Expected
Alongside the potentially named ‘iPhone Duo’, Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. These models are anticipated to be the best-selling iPhones of the coming year, continuing the trend of strong demand for Apple’s Pro-level devices.
Beyond iPhones: Apple Watch and Connectivity
The launch event will also showcase the Apple Watch Series 12, which is expected to include several unspecified upgrades. Furthermore, Apple is likely to introduce a new C2 5G modem for its new iPhones, set to be integrated into every model announced today. According to reports, Apple has optimised its applications to perform effectively on the foldable iPhone, leveraging its well-known software optimisation capabilities.
iPhone 18 Pro: Incremental but Important Updates
While the foldable ‘iPhone Duo’ is generating buzz, industry observers and investors are particularly focused on the iPhone 18 Pro models. Anticipated improvements to the iPhone 18 Pro include enhancements to battery life and the camera system – areas where Apple consistently seeks to refine the user experience. The new iPhones will also feature the A20 Pro processor, potentially marking Apple’s first use of a 2nm chip, which could boost both power and efficiency for gaming and multitasking.
