Apple will launch the iPhone 18 Pro series and a foldable iPhone Ultra in September 2026 in the United States.
The iPhone 18 Pro will be offered in Dark Cherry, Light Blue, and Silver, feature a smaller Dynamic Island, and run on the A20 Pro chip built on TSMC’s 2 nm process.
The foldable iPhone Ultra will be 4.7 mm thick when unfolded and may come in Silver, White, or Indigo.

Summary

iPhone Battery Edge

Regulatory filings show the iPhone 18 Pro Max battery is about 30 % larger than the iPhone 18 Pro battery, giving the Pro Max a clear endurance edge.
The larger cell makes the iPhone 18 Pro Max slightly thicker than the iPhone 18 Pro.
Analysts say the battery gap gives buyers a stronger reason to pick the higher-priced Pro Max for longer life.
All other specs—including the 48-MP Fusion camera, display tech, and A-series chip—are expected to stay identical between the models.
