Apple launches iPhone 18 Pro series and iPhone Duo foldable

Overview

As of September 2026, Apple has launched the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, powered by the 2nm A20 Pro chip. The flagship models feature a 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch OLED display respectively, with pricing starting at $1,199 and $1,299. Early benchmarks suggest the A20 Pro delivers up to 28% faster multi-core performance and 40% faster GPU performance than the A19 Pro, supported by a redesigned vapor chamber cooling system.

In a major hardware expansion, Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo, its first foldable smartphone, featuring a 7.6-inch inner display and a titanium frame with a starting price of $1,999. The company also introduced AirPods 5, which feature upgraded active noise cancellation. This product cycle marks the first major event under new CEO John Ternus.

Technical discrepancies have emerged regarding connectivity; while the iPhone 18 Pro utilizes Apple’s in-house C2 modem, documentation suggests the Pro Max may continue to use Qualcomm modems. Additionally, while iOS 27 introduces significant AI capabilities, Apple noted that advanced Siri AI features will be unavailable in the European Union and China due to regulatory constraints.

Pricing trends show an upward trajectory. Base models have seen increases of approximately €150, while 1TB versions have risen by as much as €400, partly due to rising memory component costs. In Pakistan, the combination of international pricing and high local registration fees is expected to drive the total cost of an iPhone 18 Pro Max above Rs610,000.
