A roundup of the latest details ahead of Apple's iPhone Ultra and iPhone 18 Pro launch — a 4.5mm-thin body with Touch ID, an A20 Pro chip, pricing starting above $2,000
Apple is holding the "Surprise and Shine" event on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, expected to unveil the iPhone Ultra, its first foldable phone, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro. Latest rumors say the device will be just 4.5mm thick, leaving no room for Face ID, forcing a switch to Touch ID in the side button, with the volume button moved to the top.
The display crease remains but is designed to be as unnoticeable as possible. It supports MagSafe, with a dual-lens Wide and Ultra Wide camera, and the same A20 Pro chip as the iPhone 18 Pro. iOS 27 is adapted for the foldable display. It comes in 2 colors — white/silver and dark blue. The Apple Pencil likely won't launch alongside it. Pricing is expected to start above $2,000, possibly reaching $2,500 depending on capacity, with possibly limited initial supply.
