The iPhone 18 Pro will be a powerhouse for photography while the iPhone Ultra will focus on the novelty of folding, your hosts discuss this and the AI competition in the latest AppleInsider Podcast.
Apple's September event will focus on premium iPhone models, but not everything is known about these products just yet. Apple's pitch for iPhone 18 Pro will likely be around its advanced camera system while the foldable will have the obvious going for it.
What is still up for debate, however, is the naming scheme for the foldable iPhone. AppleInsider took to calling it iPhone Fold as a placeholder that mimics Samsung's naming, but others chose "iPhone Ultra."
Reports suggest that staff within Apple have started calling the foldable "iPhone Ultra" as well, though this isn't indicative of it being the actual name. Your hosts discuss the rumor, what's coming at the event, and what's next.
Apple's competition in the AI space is heating up too, as OpenAI's mysterious product was detailed in a report. It's going to be an odd fall for Apple as it deals with a new product line, limited supply, and a wider AI launch.
