Recent leaks suggest Apple is considering a name change for its highly anticipated foldable iPhone. For months, industry speculation pointed towards “iPhone Ultra” as the moniker, but sources now indicate the device may instead be called the “iPhone Duo”.
New iPhones and Apple Watch on the Horizon
The potential name change for the foldable device comes alongside expectations for the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max at today’s Apple event in Cupertino. These models are anticipated to be the best-selling iPhones of the coming year, continuing the trend of strong demand for Apple’s Pro line.
Alongside the new iPhones, Apple is also expected to unveil the Apple Watch Series 12, which will reportedly include several upgrades.
Under the Hood: New Modem and Processor
Apple is likely to introduce a new generation C2 5G modem with its latest iPhones, and this chip is expected to be included in all new models announced today. The company has also reportedly optimised its applications to function seamlessly on the foldable iPhone, leveraging its well-known expertise in software optimisation and reliability.
iPhone 18 Pro Improvements Focused on Key Areas
While the foldable iPhone is expected to generate significant buzz, analysts believe the iPhone 18 Pro models will be the primary focus for tech enthusiasts and investors. These devices are expected to feature incremental improvements in areas where users have consistently requested enhancements. These include:
- Battery Life: Apple is expected to improve battery performance in the new Pro models.
- Camera Experience: Further refinements to the camera system are anticipated.
- A20 Pro Processor: The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to feature the A20 Pro processor, potentially marking Apple’s first use of a 2nm chip, which could boost power and efficiency for gaming and multitasking.
The iPhone Duo is expected to start at a price of $2000 USD.
