The Cupertino-based tech giant is widely expected to launch a new lineup of iPhones later this year, including both the new iPhone 18 line and the rumored iPhone Ultra, the company’s first-ever foldable. And as we await iOS 27 and the iPhone 18, plenty of interesting tidbits of information are trickling out. While we still haven’t actually seen any of the new Apple phones in an official capacity, we have plenty of info from the latest iPhone leaks and rumors .

iPhone 18 release date and pricing
To start, you should probably circle early September in your calendar. That has been the timeline for Apple’s big showcase event every year for a very long time, and there’s no reason to believe right now that Apple will change that for 2026.
But here’s the big unanswered question: Will the iPhone 18 cost more? So far, we haven’t heard any leaks about an iPhone 18 price increase, but don’t rule it out.
Thanks to the ongoing RAM shortage caused by the AI industry (also known as RAMageddon), tons of smartphones, laptops, and gaming consoles are seeing huge price hikes. Experts who’ve spoken to Mashable say that trend isn’t going to stop anytime soon. As the world’s number one smartphone maker, Apple has some advantages over its rivals, but a price increase is definitely possible. Apple raised prices on its new MacBooks earlier this year, while also introducing a low-cost $599 laptop that put big pressure on its Windows rivals.
