New Delhi: Apple is going to present the new iPhone series in its biggest annual event today i.e. on 9th September. The company's 'Surprise and Shine' event will start at 10:30 pm Indian time.

Reports suggest that it may be named iPhone Ultra or iPhone Duo. Apple has not yet officially confirmed these names and features.

What new features can be found in iPhone 18 Pro Max?

iPhone 18 Pro Max is considered to be the most premium non-foldable iPhone of this year. According to leaked reports, the new A20 Pro chipset can be found in the phone, which is said to be made on 2nm process. This is expected to improve performance and power efficiency. There is also talk of getting a big battery and 12GB RAM in the phone. However, all this information is currently based on leaks.

How big a change will we see in the camera?

Important changes are also expected in the camera system of iPhone 18 Pro Max. According to reports, it may have a 48MP main camera and variable aperture technology. This will allow better control of the light reaching the camera sensor in different lighting conditions. There are also reports of the Dynamic Island being made smaller in the Pro model than before.

Will Apple launch foldable iPhone for the first time?

The biggest attraction of this event could be Apple's first foldable iPhone. According to reports, this will be a phone that opens like a book. In the closed state, it can get an external screen of about 5.5 inches and when opened, it can get a larger display of about 7.8 inches. Regarding this, Apple's focus is said to be not only on bending the screen but also on strengthening the hinge and reducing the crease visible in the middle of the screen.

How much can a foldable iPhone cost?

The foldable iPhone can be included in Apple's most expensive smartphone. According to report, its price could be more than $2,500. Whereas in other reports the starting price is said to be around $2,000. Its price in India is expected to go above Rs 2 lakh. However, the final price will be known only after the official announcement by Apple.

Will the regular iPhone 18 also be launched this time?

According to many reports, this time the company can introduce only iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and foldable models in the first phase. Models like the regular iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e could launch later, possibly in spring 2027. This will be a big change from Apple's launch strategy so far.
