Apple's new iPhone models—the Duo, iPhone 18 Pro, and 18 Pro Max—now have 3D models available for viewing. The iPhone Duo features a foldable design viewable in open and closed states, while the Pro models showcase a smaller Face ID notch and new Burgundy color option. The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are available September 18, with iPhone Duo pre-orders beginning October 16 for October 23 availability.
Analyst Jeff Pu reports that iPhone 18 Pro pre-orders show relatively short wait times, suggesting lukewarm demand compared to previous models. However, the data is unreliable due to unknown supply levels and competition from the upcoming iPhone Duo, which may be diverting potential buyers.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple plans to add Face ID and a telephoto lens to the third-generation iPhone Duo by leveraging component miniaturization and AI advances. The current model, launching October 23, features Touch ID and dual rear cameras due to physical space constraints.
Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max became available for pre-order on Saturday, with most Pro models shipping on the September 18 launch day, while Pro Max availability is more limited except for the 2TB configuration. Some customers may delay purchases awaiting Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, launching October 23.
Apple launched the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max with pre-orders starting September 12, while the foldable iPhone Duo arrives October 16. Apple also released the Apple Watch Series 12 with enhanced health sensors and AI audio features, along with cheaper AirPods 5 with improved audio capabilities.
Apple is delaying two iOS 27 features—Suggestions in Messages and automatic compromised password fixing—from Monday's launch, pushing them to a future update despite their presence in beta. Both features leverage Apple Intelligence and will arrive in a later iOS 27 version, possibly iOS 27.1 before October 23.
iOS 27 launches September 14 with new Siri AI features, followed by iOS 27.1 beta within a week. The public iOS 27.1 release is expected by October 23 to coincide with iPhone Duo's launch, likely arriving October 19-21.
Apple released the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the new foldable iPhone Duo with the A20 Pro chip, featuring OLED Super Retina XDR displays, 120-Hz ProMotion, and improved thermal design. The iPhone 18 models start at $100 more than last year's Pro models, with the iPhone Duo launching later in October.
Verizon is offering promotional deals on Apple's newly released iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and foldable iPhone Duo. Customers can get the iPhone 18 Pro for $80/month on Simplicity Pro or up to $1,200 off with trade-in, while iPhone Duo preorders begin October 16 with final deal details coming in October.
