Leaked documents and industry reports detail the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and the anticipated iPhone Ultra foldable, highlighting significant hardware shifts. The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to feature a new A20 Pro chip built on TSMC’s 2nm process, utilizing Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module (WMCM) packaging to improve thermal management and power efficiency. The device will likely include a redesigned FaceID sensor array, a larger 5,567mAh battery, and a 96-bit memory bus. Conversely, the iPhone Ultra foldable is projected to offer a 7.8-inch, 3:4 aspect ratio, creaseless display. While the foldable provides enhanced multitasking capabilities, it is expected to lack a dedicated telephoto zoom camera, relying instead on a 1x main lens with digital crop. Both models are anticipated to launch in September 2026, with potential price increases reflecting these hardware advancements. The iPhone 18 Pro is rumored to start at $1,399, while the iPhone Ultra could range between $2,000 and $2,400, depending on storage configurations.
The iPhone 18 Pro will utilize the A20 Pro chip, which is built on TSMC's 2nm process technology. WMCM packaging moves the DRAM to the side of the processor to improve thermal dissipation and reduce heat concentration.
