MacRumors reported that Apple’s annual iPhone event is expected in the first half of September, with the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a foldable iPhone reportedly called iPhone Ultra on deck. The outlet said a date immediately after Labor Day looks unlikely, and pointed to a later September window instead.
