Apple will switch to a two-wave release strategy starting in 2026, with the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and the first foldable phone, the 18 Fold (tentative name), launching in the fall. The basic model will be delayed until Q1 2027. The Fold has brand appeal, but its late shipments and limited initial production capacity mean that the global foldable phone penetration rate will still be around 2% in 2026. Hardware optimizations include: - Full adoption of TSMC's 2nm A20 Pro chips, enhancing on-device AI and reducing power consumption; - Memory packaging changed to WMCM, improving overheating under high load; - Screen upgraded to LTPO+ for greater power efficiency; - Pro main camera features a mechanical variable aperture for the first time; - Improved battery capacity and battery life, more noticeable in the Pro Max. The Fold, aiming for a slimmer design, features a dual-lens camera and capacitive fingerprint sensor. Memory costs are expected to surge in the second half of 2025, with the Pro 256GB model seeing a nearly 400% year-on-year increase in memory costs in Q3 2026, making it difficult to fully absorb the BOM pressure. The estimated price of the new phone will increase moderately by 10-20%. The Fold's starting price is expected to be around $2,099-$2,299, with the top-spec model potentially exceeding $3,000. With soaring hardware costs, Apple Intelligence Cloud and subscription services will be key to profitability. Specifications and pricing are subject to official confirmation.

What is this event about?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Apple officially releases iPhone 18 by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A qualifying product must be named "iPhone" and be recognized as a successor to the original iPhone product, similar to the relationship between iPhone 15 and iPhone 16. A new iPhone product released without a number, under a designation other than iPhone 18, will qualify if it retains the original functions of the iPhone and expands on them in such a way that it is clear that this product is a successor. In order to be considered released, the product must be available for purchase by the general public within the specified timeframe. An announcement or unveiling alone is not sufficient. The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from Apple. However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
