Upcoming Phones
Rumored specifications for phones that haven't been announced yet. Every page here is clearly marked unconfirmed, sourced back to our full leak coverage, and gets rebuilt with real specs the moment the manufacturer actually announces the device.
RumoredApple
Apple iPhone 18 Pro
Apple's next Pro-tier iPhone is expected to add Apple's first-ever variable-aperture camera (though recent leaks suggest this may be exclusive to the larger Pro Max), and move to a 2-nanometer A20 Pro chip — Apple's first chip built on TSMC's new N2 process. An early-2026 leak claimed a return to titanium, but more recent, better-corroborated reporting points to an aluminum frame for both Pro models, with titanium reportedly reserved for other devices in Apple's 2026 lineup instead. None of this is confirmed; Apple has not announced this device.
Expected September 2026 (expected — unconfirmed as of publication)
RumoredApple
Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max
Apple's largest, most expensive iPhone is rumored to widen the gap with the standard Pro more than any recent generation: a possible camera-sensor exclusive (Apple's first variable-aperture main camera), a notably bigger battery, a 2TB storage option for the first time, and a heavier, thicker body — reportedly up to roughly 240g by one estimate. Both Pro models are expected to keep an aluminum frame this generation, per the most recent reporting — an earlier titanium claim has since been superseded. None of this is confirmed; Apple has not announced this device.

RumoredApple
Apple Watch Series 12
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple is in "late-stage testing" of the Series 12 in both Wi-Fi and cellular variants — a firmer signal than most pre-launch Watch leaks carry. The headline change is a new chip after a full generation stuck on the same silicon, plus a battery-life push. Gurman is explicit that several louder rumors — Touch ID, a blood-pressure sensor, microLED — are not happening this year. None of this is confirmed; Apple has not announced this device.
Expected September 2026 (expected — unconfirmed as of publication)
RumoredApple
Apple Watch Ultra 4
Also in Bloomberg's reported "late-stage testing" batch alongside the Series 12. The Ultra line hasn't had a genuine hardware refresh in a while — Ultra 3 shared its chip with the standard Series 11 rather than getting anything Ultra-specific. This year's changes are reported as concentrated under the hood (new chip, longer battery target) rather than a visible redesign, despite less-authoritative rumors of a thinner case. None of this is confirmed; Apple has not announced this device.
Expected September 2026 (expected — unconfirmed as of publication)
RumoredApple
Apple iPhone Ultra (foldable)
Apple's first foldable iPhone, reportedly settling on the name "iPhone Ultra" after earlier "iPhone Fold" framing. Book-style design with a ~7.6-7.8" inner display and ~5.3-5.5" cover screen, reportedly solving the crease problem other foldables haven't. Real trade-offs: no Face ID (side-button Touch ID instead), no telephoto lens. One recent report claims Apple may show it in September without releasing it to market immediately, citing supply and testing problems. None of this is confirmed; Apple has not announced this device.
Expected September 2026 (expected — unconfirmed as of publication)
RumoredApple
Apple MacBook Ultra
Apple's first touchscreen, OLED Mac laptop — reportedly a new tier sitting above the MacBook Pro rather than replacing it, with the existing Pro lineup staying on sale. The chip plan changed partway through this device's own rumor cycle: Bloomberg says Apple scrapped M6 Pro/Max chips entirely, so this uses the existing M5 Pro/M5 Max silicon instead. Even the "MacBook Ultra" name itself isn't certain — Apple could keep the MacBook Pro name instead. None of this is confirmed; Apple has not announced this device.
Expected Q3 2026 (expected — unconfirmed; "Ultra" naming itself unconfirmed)
