Apple's flagship smartphone lineup is expected to continue its annual update cycle in 2026, with the iPhone 18 series likely launching in September. According to industry analysts and supply chain reports, the new models may include a foldable design for the first time, as well as under-display Face ID technology.
Rumors from sources like Ming-Chi Kuo and Bloomberg suggest that Apple is testing a foldable iPhone with a 7.5-inch inner display when unfolded, similar to the iPad Mini. However, no official confirmation has been made. The iPhone 18 Pro models are also expected to feature a 48-megapixel main camera with improved low-light performance.
As of July 2026, no leaks have shown the final design, and Apple has not commented on the rumors. The company typically announces new iPhones in early September, with pre-orders starting the following week and availability later that month.
