APPLE IPHONE

Apple has reportedly tested a smaller Apple Pencil prototype for its upcoming foldable iPhone, but the stylus is unlikely to debut with the device. The side-mounted accessory may pose usability issues and risk damaging the foldable display.

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro Max is rumoured to get an exclusive variable aperture camera, a first for the iPhone lineup. The Pro Max could also feature a more powerful telephoto lens with up to 6x optical zoom.

Apple’s iPhone 17 became the world’s best-selling smartphone in Q2 2026, capturing 6% of global unit sales. Apple and Samsung each placed five models in the global top 10, which together accounted for 26% of smartphone sales.

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro series at its 9 September event, with India prices likely starting at ₹139,900. The iPhone 18 Pro Max could go up to ₹159,900, while the rumoured foldable iPhone Ultra may debut near ₹1.9 lakh.

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max could launch in September 2026, alongside the company’s first foldable iPhone. The Pro models are expected to feature the A20 Pro chip, a smaller Dynamic Island and a variable-aperture main camera.

Rumors suggest Apple will refresh the Mac mini with M5 or M6 processors, targeting a launch ahead of the iPhone 18 Pro event. This update comes amid high demand and supply issues, possibly marking a pivotal moment before Tim Cook's resignation as CEO.

Apple’s customary way to reveal its keynote is to send invitations to the press and special guests, with a cryptic illustration on the invite.

Ahead of Apple’s September event, where the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, tipster Ice Universe claims Apple may reserve the rumoured variable‑aperture primary camera for the Pro Max model.
