iPhone Ultra: Latest foldable iPhone release date, price, specs and rumors
Macworld Weve been reporting on the supposedly imminent launch of a foldable iPhone for years. There have been strong and reliable rumors of a foldable iPhone being just two years away, dating as far back as 2018 , at least. Back then, reliable reports from the likes of CNBC said Apple was going to have a folding iPhone on the market in 2020. That became 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025 and now its expected to land in 2026 yes, this year! The wait may finally be nearly over: Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone on September 9 alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max , although reports suggest supplies could be limited and some buyers may have to wait longer to get one. Rumors suggest the new model could be called the iPhone Ultra and adopt a book-style design that opens into something resembling a small iPad. Its expected to have an approximately 7.7- to 7.8-inch internal display and a 5.3- to 5.5-inch outer screen, with a wide 4:3 aspect ratio when unfolded. Apple is also said to have focused heavily on making the display crease as unobtrusive as possible while keeping the device exceptionally thin. Inside, were expecting some variation of Apples A20 chip, around 12GB of RAM, Apples C2 cellular modem and potentially the biggest battery yet fitted to an iPhone. Camera rumors point to two 48MP rear cameras and two selfie cameras, but there could be some surprising compromises: the iPhone Ultra may ditch both Face ID and a telephoto camera, using Touch ID in the side button instead. And all that folding technology wont come cheap, with current estimates putting the starting price at around $1,999 and potentially as high as $2,399 for the top configuration. Folding iPhone rumors at a glance Expected launch date : September 9, 2026, but limited supply possible Likely name : iPhone Ultra rather than iPhone Fold Form factor : Book-style, opening to a landscape view about the size of an iPad mini Display : 7.77.8-inch inner display, approx 5.35.5-inch outer Camera : Four cameras, no telephoto Color options : Indigo and white/silver What will the foldable iPhone be called? iPhone Ultra is the expected name Apples first foldable iPhone has long been referred to unofficially as the iPhone Fold, some may even refer to it as the iPhone 18 Fold, but more recent reports suggest the company may launch it as the iPhone Ultra . In March 2026, Mark Gurman at Bloomberg reported that the folding iPhone would be one of several new products positioned in Apples Ultra tier. A month later, Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station (which is hit-and-miss) also claimed Apple was considering the iPhone Ultra name. The strongest indication came more recently, when Gurman wrote on X that everyone calls it the Ultra internally . That makes iPhone Ultra the leading candidate, although it remains possible that Ultra is simply an internal name rather than the final branding. Not everyone is convinced the name fits. Analyst Max Weinbach (to whom Gurman was responding with the above tweet) has argued that the foldable does not seem like an Ultra product in the same sense as Apples other highest-end devices. Everyone calls it the Ultra internally. Well see what happens. Mark Gurman (@markgurman) August 11, 2026 Alternative names floated over the years include iPhone Fold, iPhone Ultra Fold, iPhone Duo, iPhone Passport, iPhone Folio and iPhone Wide. The Passport nickname refers to the devices reportedly wide, passport-like proportions when folded. As of September 2026, however, iPhone Ultra looks like the most credible name. Apple has yet to confirm it, so the final branding may be one of the few surprises left for its Surprise and Shine event on September 9. When will the foldable iPhone launch? September 9, 2026 launch at Apple Event expected; retail availability may follow later Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone at its Surprise and Shine event on September 9, 2026 , alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max . The regular iPhone 18 , 18e or iPhone Air 2 , are instead expected to arrive in spring 2027. There have been conflicting reports about when the foldable will actually go on sale. Nikkei Asia reported that Apple was running behind schedule, but Bloombergs Mark Gurman subsequently said the device was still on track , and could ship at the same time as, or soon after, the iPhone 18 Pro models. Barclays analyst Tim Long has been more cautious, suggesting the foldable may not ship until December. There is also growing evidence in Apples software that the device is close. In June, product designer and engineer Sam Henri Gold found references in the iOS 27 framework to variables named foldState and angleDegrees, apparently designed to tell apps whether a device is folded and at what angle. Macworld independently confirmed those findings. iOS 27 framework references foldState and angleDegrees but Im sure thats nothing pic.twitter.com/PcYNVvymms sam henri gold (@samhenrigold) June 8, 2026 Even if the iPhone Ultra launches on September 9, availability could be tight. During Apples Q3 earnings call , Apple then-CEO Tim Cook warned that that the impact of supply constraints would increase significantly. That raises the possibility that Apple could have limited stock initially, or begin shipping it later than the iPhone 18 Pro models. What are the biggest trade-offs for the folding iPhone Ultra Despite its expected Ultra branding and a price that could reach $2,000$2,500, Apples first foldable iPhone may involve several compromises compared with the iPhone 18 Pro Max . The biggest could be Face ID . Reports suggest the foldable will use a side-mounted Touch ID sensor instead, likely because its unusually thin design leaves less room for Apples TrueDepth hardware. It may also sacrifice some camera capability. The foldable is not expected to include a dedicated telephoto camera , meaning buyers could miss out on the optical zoom available on Apples Pro models. That would be a significant omission on such an expensive iPhone. The hinge also means Apple cannot use the same unibody-style construction as on a conventional iPhone, potentially affecting durability and dust resistance. The device is also expected to be eSIM-only worldwide . There have been questions over MagSafe and wireless charging , partly because of the unusual construction of the rear casing, although more recent reports suggest MagSafe may ultimately be included. Finally, the foldable is expected to run a specially adapted version of iOS rather than iPadOS . Its larger internal display should enable improved multitasking, but it may still fall short of the more desktop-like productivity experience available on an iPad. Taken together, those compromises mean the iPhone Ultra could offer something genuinely new without necessarily being the most fully featured iPhone Apple sells. For some buyers, the iPhone 18 Pro Max may remain the more complete flagship. The folding iPhone will reportedly have a Touch ID-enabled power button rather than Face ID. Foundry What will the folding iPhone look like? How will it fold? Book-like design with a vertical fold rumored Intended to be an iPhone/iPad hybrid Available in silver/white and Indigo Blue Apples rumored iPhone Ultra is reportedly nearing mass production, with its design largely finalized. Heres what current leaks suggest about how the foldable iPhone will look and how the hinge and display may work. What color will the iPhone Ultra be? The iPhone Ultra is expected to launch in just two color options: silver/white and dark blue. Back in August, we reported that Apple was working on an Indigo option for its folding phone. Our sources also say that Apple does not currently plan to offer its first folding iPhone in black or space gray . The blue finish is expected to be particularly dark, reportedly closer to the iPhone 17 Pros Deep Blue than the MacBook Neos Indigo. A subsequent leak shared by Sonny Dickson on Bluesky added weight to those reports, with photos reportedly showing camera protectors in silver and a deep blue shade that could resemble Indigo, Midnight or the iPhone 17 Pros Deep Blue. These iPhone Fold camera protectors give us a look at two of the colors planned for the device: silver and dark blue. Sonny Dickson (@sonnydickson.bsky.social) 2026-08-08T22:44:44.846Z The leaked camera protector matches previous design rumours, showing a horizontal rounded camera bar with openings for two cameras, a microphone and flash. Book-style, iPad hybrid, design Multiple leaks point to a book-style foldable with a large, tablet-like internal display, rather than a compact flip-phone design. The device is expected to function as a hybrid between an iPhone and an iPad. This passport-style design will appear noticeably squarer than a traditional iPhone when closed. When unfolded, its rumored to resemble an iPad mini-like screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio, offering a more expansive viewing experience. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported in 2025 that Apples foldable will adopt a dual-display setup, with a strong focus on achieving a near crease-free screen when opened. Other 2025 leaks, including reports from Digital Chat Station on Weibo, also point to a vertical, book-style fold where the left and right sides close together similar to devices like the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold. Dummy models shared by Sonny Dickson on X in April 2026, demonstrate this book-like form factor. The latest leaks and dummy models show the wide passport design of the iPhone Ultra. Sonny Dickson Additional dummy unit images from tech YouTuber Vadim Yuryev, further reinforce this wide, book-like passport design. Vadim Yuryev In December 2025, this 3D image of the iPhone Ultra , based on leaked CAD files, was created by a hobbyist and shared on MakerWorld (now removed), also aligning with these design expectations. Subsy/MakerWorld However, alternative concepts have existed. In 2024, The Information reported that Apple had explored clamshell-style prototypes, where the device folds top-to-bottom, similar to traditional flip phones. This design direction may already be influencing competitors. Our colleagues on TechAdvisor report that Samsung is developing a Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide with a similar 4:3 aspect ratio, potentially positioning it as a direct rival to Apples iPhone Ultra. How Apple is overcoming hinge design and crease reduction challenges Adding a hinge to an iPhone introduces significant engineering challenges that Apple has spent years trying to resolve. While competitors have released multiple generations of foldables, Apples slower entry to the market is widely attributed to its focus on refining the hinge and delivering a more seamless user experience. The biggest technical challenge is the visible and tactile crease where the screen folds. Apple has reportedly made this a priority, aiming to minimise it to the point of being nearly imperceptible. Weibo leaker Instant Digital claims the iPhone Ultras internal design will make it the most repairable folding phone on the market, with elegant modular and stacked elements that minimize interconnects and ribbons. As a result, the hinge is expected to be a defining feature of the iPhone Ultra, combining advanced materials and engineering to deliver a smoother, more durable folding experience. To maintain both thinness and durability, Apple is reportedly testing high-end materials for the hinge: Titanium alloy (rumored for structural strength) LiquidMetal , according to Ming-Chi Kuo (March 2025), for improved durability, better screen flatness, and reduced creasing. In July 2025, Kuo reported that Apple had developed a method to reduce crease visibility using metal support plates to better distribute and control bending stress. Apple may use this laser-drilling metal plate technology rather than conventional etching to create a more precise microstructure. Apple also holds several patents for foldable mechanisms which, along with several rumored technologies, may be used: Variable Thickness Glass : A key part of Apples approach is said to involve variable thickness display glass, which is thinner at the fold point to reduce stress during repeated use. This is expected to work alongside an optically clear adhesive layer, designed to further minimise strain and help prevent the visible crease that commonly develops in foldable devices over time. Stress-Reducing Adhesive : An optically clear adhesive designed to reduce strain on the display during folding. Ultra-Thin Profile : Expected thickness of around 4.5mm unfolded and 9.5mm folded. Internal Support : Metal plates beneath the display to maintain a completely flat surface when opened. In March 2026, reports suggested that Samsung Display Apples primary screen supplier has developed a near-creaseless OLED panel , showcased at CES 2026 specifically to meet Apples standards. How big will the foldable iPhone Ultra be? Approx. 9.5mm thick when folded Approx. 4.5mm when unfolded According to Jon Prosser in December 2025, Apples foldable iPhone Ultra could measure around 9.5mm when closed and just 4.5mm when open. For context, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is 8.5mm thick, while the iPhone Air measures 5.6mm. If accurate, this would make the iPhone Ultra one of the slimmest foldables, highlighting Apples focus on minimising bulk despite the hinge. However, when asked about the thickness of the iPhone Ultra in April 2026, YouTuber Vadim Yuryev said it would be exactly 11mm, which is larger than Prossers prediction. He also claimed it would be 0.36mm taller and 0.39mm wider than the iPhone 17 Pro. Other design features A leak from Weibo account Instant Digital in February 2026 indicates the volume buttons will be on the top edge, aligned right. How big will the iPhone Ultra screens be? The iPhone Ultra is widely expected to feature: Approx. 7.77.8-inch internal display Approx. 5.35.5-inch external display Ming-Chi Kuo (2025) and TrendForce (July 2025) both pointed to a 7.8-inch inner and 5.5-inch outer display, while The Information later suggested slightly smaller sizes of 7.7 inches and 5.3 inches. This suggests Apple may still be refining final dimensions. However, a December 2025 report from The Information slightly revised these figures to 7.7 inches internally and 5.3 inches externally, indicating that Apple may still be fine-tuning the final dimensions. When unfolded, the device is expected to feature a 4:3 aspect ratio, aligning it more closely with the iPad and reinforcing its positioning as a productivity-focused, hybrid device. This would be a notable departure from the tall, narrow displays seen in earlier foldables like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series. This wider layout is said to: Improve multitasking Enhance document reading and web browsing Deliver an experience closer to an iPad mini What specs will iPhone Ultra offer? A20 Pro chip, 12GB RAM, C2 modem expected The iPhone Ultra is expected to use Apples A20 Pro chip , the same flagship processor tipped for the iPhone 18 Pro models . Supply-chain reports also point to 12GB of RAM and storage options reaching as high as 2TB . Apple is also expected to use more of its own wireless silicon. That could include the C2 cellular modem alongside an Apple-designed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip supporting Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth. 256GB/512GB/1TB/2TB capacities are to be expected. One notable feature is MagSafe charging . In September 2026, Bloombergs Mark Gurman said the folding iPhone will support MagSafe , contradicting earlier reports that Apple might omit it because of the devices unusual construction. Battery capacity could be another headline feature. Weibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital has claimed the iPhone Ultra will have a combined capacity of around 5,000 to 5,500mAh , potentially making it the largest battery ever fitted to an iPhone. That capacity may be split between the two halves of the device. References to batteries rather than battery found in the iOS 27 beta have fuelled speculation that Apple is preparing software support for a dual-battery folding iPhone. What cameras will the foldable iPhone have? The foldable iPhone is expected to use a dual-camera system on the rear, with two 48MP sensors arranged on a long, thin plateau similar to the iPhone Air. Reports suggest the camera bar will be black rather than color-matched to the rest of the phone. There is still some uncertainty over the exact lens combination. More recent reports point to a wide and telephoto setup, while earlier rumors suggested Apple could omit the telephoto lens and instead use wide and ultrawide cameras. If the telephoto camera is missing, it would be a significant compromise for such an expensive Ultra model. The foldable is also expected to have two front-facing cameras specified to be the usual 18MP Centre Stage cameras by TrendForce in June allowing one to be used when the phone is closed and another when it is unfolded. Leaks have suggested Apple could combine an under-display camera with a second punch-hole camera. A November 2025 JP Morgan report also claimed Apple could omit LiDAR and optical image stabilization, although those details remain uncertain. Not all the rumors point to cutbacks. Tech YouTuber Vadim Yuryev claimed in April 2026 that the camera sensors could actually be physically larger than those used in the iPhone 17 Pro. How much will the folding iPhone Ultra cost? Premium price expected: $2,000 or more Apples first folding iPhone is expected to sit at the very top of the iPhone lineup, with most reports pointing to a starting price of around $2,000 . Analyst Arthur Liao has predicted a price of up to $2,399 , based on the high cost of components such as the folding display and hinge, as well as Apples usual premium margins. A September 2026 TrendForce report puts the likely starting price at $2,099 to $2,299 , with higher-capacity configurations potentially exceeding $3,000 . Reports from Weibo leakers have suggested a starting price of RMB 15,999 in China for the 256GB model, rising to RMB 19,999 for 1TB. Using the pricing relationship of comparable Apple products, that would broadly translate to around $1,999 to $2,399 in the U.S. Taken together, the rumors suggest the iPhone Ultra will start at roughly $2,000 , with higher-storage models costing considerably more. FAQ Why is Apple making a folding iPhone now? If youre wondering why Apple is only launching a folding iPhone now years after Samsung introduced the Galaxy Fold in 2019 the answer may lie in Apples long-standing approach to new product categories. Rather than being first to market, Apple often waits for a technology to mature before entering the space. When Steve Jobs unveiled the original iPhone in 2007, he talked about how the rest of the market was constrained by physical keyboards and styluses, but the iPhone would instead have a multi-touch display that could change depending on the task. Apple may be taking a similar approach with foldables. The company appears to believe that display technology, durability, and consumer interest have finally reached a point where a folding iPhone could appeal to mainstream buyers rather than just early adopters. In other words, Apples goal may not be to invent the foldable phone, but to make it a product that millions of people actually want to use every day. Will the iPhone Ultra replace the iPhone Pro Max? It is thought that rather than replace the Pro Max handsets, Apple will position the foldable as a new tier above it similar to how the Apple Watch Ultra sits above the standard Watch lineup. That would allow Apple to maintain premium pricing without disrupting existing flagship models. When will the foldable iPhone Ultra actually go on sale? The folding iPhone is expected to be announced at Apples September event on Wednesday, 9 September 2026, but the phone may not go on sale for some time after that date. Reports suggest the device could go on sale sometime between October and December 2026.

iPhone 18 Pro video leak appears to confirm blue and Dark Cherry color options
Macworld On Wednesday, Apple will hold a press event with the tagline Surprise and Shine. Officially we dont know what products will be announced, but in reality were 95% sure the days reveals will include iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max handsets. And that number might have just gone up even further with the leak of a video showing demo models of the new phones. A very brief video clip posted this weekend to the Naver platform appears to show two devices: an iPhone 18 Pro Max, and an iPhone 18 Pro. We can tell this partly because theres a retail-style label in front of them, but also because theyre finished in colors that arent available as part of the current or recent iPhone range. In the video, one iPhone is a dark red/burgundy, the other a light blue, appearing to provide the strongest visual evidence yet for the iPhone 18 Pro colors exclusively revealed by Macworld. The only other phone we see is a dark-blue iPhone 17 Pro Max, which the poster holds against the Dark Cherry 18 Pro Max for comparison. The poster doesnt offer much context for the video; the headline (via Google Translate) reads simply iPhone 18 Pro Max Dark Cherry & 18 Pro Blue demo devices exposed and the body text adds nothing further. But from the items in the background, including the aforementioned label, clear plastic stands, and security cables, it appears that were looking at a retail display for the new phones. Given how soon they will need to appear in stores, its plausible that outlets will have already received demo units, although its obviously risky for one to allow footage to leak online before the announcements. We cant guarantee that the video is genuine, and it wouldnt be hugely difficult to fake footage of this sort. But there isnt a strong reason to doubt it, and the evidence for these two colors is growing stronger with each passing day. The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, unless something very unexpected happens, will be announced at the event on Wednesday, starting at 10 a.m. E.T. Our iPhone event live blog is already up and running and will report all the breaking news and rumors as we find them. And if youd like to read the announcements before they happen our crack reporters managed to get their hands on the script . Just dont tell anyone, or well get in trouble.

Intego ONE now protects your iPhone too
Macworld BACK TO SCHOOL DEAL Take 50% off Intego One Grab this rare discount on Macworld's favorite Mac antivirus GET DEAL (function () { document.querySelector(#sticky-promo-block a).addEventListener(click, function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest(#sticky-promo-block).querySelector(p.promo-title).textContent; const data = { event: stickyConversionUnitClick, eventCategory: Sticky Conversion, eventAction: Click, eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log(Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: , data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); Intego ONE Complete , the Mac security suite we reviewed earlier this year, has expanded to the iPhone with the new Intego ONE: VPN & Wi-Fi Security app . It gives Complete subscribers VPN protection, Wi-Fi security checks and an assessment of their iPhones built-in security settings at no additional cost. This is not antivirus software for the iPhone. Instead, the app complements Apples existing iPhone security by concentrating on areas where users can still expose themselves to risk: insecure Wi-Fi, unprotected internet connections and important iOS security settings that havent been enabled. That distinction matters. iPhones are resistant to traditional malware because of Apples tightly controlled security architecture, but they arent immune from spyware, exploits, malicious websites, compromised accounts and other privacy and security threats. The new iPhone app is available to new and existing Intego ONE Complete subscribers. Intego is also currently a Back to School promotion that cuts the price by 50% until September 30. Intego confirmed that you dont need to prove you are a student to take advantage of the offer. Get Intego ONE Complete Plan for Mac & iPhone Back To School 50% off (expires Sept 30th) What is Intego ONE? Intego ONE is the successor to Intego Internet Security X9, combining Mac antivirus protection with additional security and maintenance tools. Its currently our top recommendation in our Best Antivirus for Mac guide . It comes in three tiers: Essential: Antivirus and firewall. Advanced: Adds SmartClean. Complete: Adds Intego VPN and now includes the iPhone app. Essential and Advanced remain Mac-only packages. Weve already reviewed Intego ONE Complete on the Mac, where its malware detection, scanning performance and firewall controls particularly impressed us. In our testing, it handled more than 130 malware samples extremely well and scanned more than two million files in around eight minutes. Those Mac security features remain the main reason to consider Intego ONE. The new iPhone app broadens the Complete package. We recommend: Intego ONE Price When Reviewed: Intego ONE Essential from $2.50 a month/one device/first year, then $3.33 a month or $29.99 for the first year and then $39.99 a year. Best Prices Today: $29.99 at Intego (annual) What does Intego ONE do on an iPhone? Integos iPhone app adds a VPN, Wi-Fi security checks and iPhone security monitoring, but not antivirus scanning. The iPhone version of Intego ONE is essentially a combination of privacy protection, network security and security configuration checking. There are three main elements. Intego VPN When youre using hotel, caf, airport or other Wi-Fi that you dont control, Integos VPN can encrypt your internet connection. The VPN was already included with Intego ONE Complete on the Mac, where it encrypts internet traffic, masks the users IP address and can help protect data when using public or unsecured Wi-Fi. When we tested it as part of our Mac review we found it simple to use, with 51 server locations and good bandwidth and streaming performance, although it isnt as fully featured as some dedicated VPN services. Adding the VPN to the iPhone arguably makes the feature more useful, because your phone is much more likely to connect to unfamiliar Wi-Fi while youre travelling or away from home. Wi-Fi security checks Intego can also check the security of the Wi-Fi network your iPhone is currently using. The test takes around 10 seconds and reports on connection speed as well as any potential security issues it identifies. Intego told us that one of the main things it checks is whether the network is using strong encryption. iPhone security check-up The app can also inspect some of the protections already built into your iPhone and tell you whether they are enabled or being used. Intego says its Device Check-Up can check whether: A passcode is enabled. Face ID or Touch ID is enabled. Apps are permitted to track you. The iPhone is running the newest version of iOS it supports. Something has been changed that removes Apples security protections. Screen recording is active. The key benefit is not that Intego provides these protections itself. Apple already does that. Instead, Intego checks whether important security features are enabled and flags potential weaknesses. Intego confirmed that its warning about changes that remove Apples built-in protections refers primarily to jailbreak detection. It does not generally treat MDM profiles as suspicious, since these are commonly used by businesses to manage and secure devices. Intego also told us that it plans to add Developer Mode detection in a future update, subject to the access Apples APIs allow. But can an iPhone actually get a virus? If Intego ONE is an antivirus suite, you might reasonably assume that its new iPhone app scans the iPhone for viruses. It doesnt. Traditional iPhone viruses are extremely uncommon because iOS apps are sandboxed, Apple tightly controls software distribution and the operating system incorporates substantial security protections. That doesnt make an iPhone invulnerable. Spyware, security exploits, malicious websites, compromised accounts and other threats can still put personal information at risk. Intego isnt claiming to replace Apples malware protection. Its proposition is effectively this: Apple protects the operating system, while Intego helps with some of the connections and security decisions that remain under the users control. Read: Can iPhones get viruses? for more information. Intego ONE on Mac vs iPhone Feature Mac iPhone Malware scanning Yes No Real-time antivirus Yes No Firewall Yes No SmartClean Advanced/Complete No VPN Complete Complete Wi-Fi security check No Yes iPhone security check-up No Yes Passcode/Face ID checks No Yes iOS update check No Yes Screen-recording warning No Yes On the Mac, antivirus remains at the heart of the product. On the iPhone, the focus is privacy, network security and checking the security configuration of the device. Who should consider Intego ONE Complete? Foundry Mac and iPhone owners This is the group that benefits most from the change. On the Mac you get the antivirus and firewall protection that impressed us in testing, alongside SmartClean and a VPN. On the iPhone you get the same VPN plus Wi-Fi security and device-security checks. People already considering Complete for the VPN Being able to use the subscription on your phone makes the VPN component more useful, particularly if you frequently travel or use public Wi-Fi. People only looking for iPhone protection Intego ONE is harder to justify purely for its iPhone features because most of the suites value still resides on the Mac. If you dont own a Mac or dont need Mac antivirus protection, a standalone VPN or other dedicated iPhone security service may make more sense. See our recommendations of the best VPN for iPhone . Does the iPhone app make Intego ONE Complete better value? The Intego ONE iPhone app can be downloaded from the iOS App Store. Our Intego ONE review already recommended the suite for its strong malware detection, firewall, performance and ease of use, although we noted omissions including phishing protection and parental controls. The new iPhone app doesnt address those weaknesses, but it does make the Complete tier more useful for people who own both a Mac and an iPhone. On the Mac, Intego ONE Complete includes antivirus, firewall protection, SmartClean and a VPN. On the iPhone, you get the VPN plus Wi-Fi security checks and tools that flag potentially important security settings. It isnt antivirus for the iPhone and shouldnt be confused with one. For existing Complete subscribers, the iPhone app is a worthwhile addition at no extra cost. For prospective customers with several Apple devices, it also makes Intego ONE Complete more compelling than when we originally reviewed it, particularly if you want several security tools covered by a single subscription.

Surprise and Shine Apple iPhone event live blog begins now!
Macworld Apples Surprise and Shine event might be the most anticipated iPhone keynote in 10 years. It all kicks off Wednesday morning, and like you, we cant wait. So join us as we count down the hours and minutes to the big show with all the latest rumors, leaks, and guesses leading up to the big event on Wednesday morning at 10 am PT. Surprise and Shine iPhone event: How to watch You can watch the full keynote right here using the embedded YouTube link below or on Apple.com on your iPhone or Mac. The Watch Now tab in the TV app on the Apple TV will also show the stream live. Surprise and Shine iPhone event: What we expect Apple might have dubbed this the Surprise event, but we have a pretty good idea what Apple is going to announce Wednesday morning. Heres what we expect to see: iPhone Ultra : Apple is almost certain to launch its first folding phone this week. Were expecting a passport-style design with a 5.5-inch cover display and a near-8-inch inner display when opened. iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max : We expect a similar design with a faster chip and a better camera system, possibly including a variable-aperture lens for the first time. Apple Watch Series 12 : The latest Apple Watch update will reportedly be a minor refresh with a new chip, all-day heart-rate tracking, and maybe the return of a ceramic finish. Apple Watch Ultra 4: Like the Series 12, the Ultra 4 is expected to be a minor refresh largely focused on a new chip tuned for Siri AI. AirPods 5: Apple is rumored to be launching a new pair of low-end AirPods, but we dont know much about them. Smart home : Its less likely that Apples rumored smart-home hub arrives at this event, but we could see an updated Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini. Surprise and Shine iPhone event: Live blog 6 hours ago , By Michael Simon No iPhone 18 this week In case you havent been following the rumors, Apple isnt expected to launch a new iPhone 18 this week. That meansthe iPhone 17 will be on shelves alongside the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus for another six months. This would be the first time (other than the budget SE and e models) that Apple has spilt the new iPhones into separate launches and could create some serious FOMO for annual updaters.

Macworld Excited about Apples Surprise and Shine event on Wednesday? Cant wait to hear about the iPhone Ultra, Apple Watch Series 12, and other new products? Wish you could read about the announcements before theyre, well, announced? Then youve come to the right place. As is traditional at this time of year, we sent a team of crack reporters down to Apple Park, and after a few hours of rummaging in the bins, they hit paydirt: the script for Wednesdays presentation, rehearsal tapes, marketing videos, everything we need to construct a minute-by-minute preview of the entire event. And were excited to present it here, to you. (For the avoidance of doubt, none of that is true; this is for entertainment purposes only. But other than a few silly jokes and fake names, what follows is our genuine prediction, based on rumors, leaks, and a long history of covering these events. Return to Macworld on Wednesday to follow all the announcements as they happen and see how we got on.) Heres John Ternus! 9:59 am PT : Were up and running! Black metal fans will recognise the toe-tapping sounds of Leviathans Vesture Dipped In The Blood Of Morning. Thats a California band, of course. Perhaps John Ternus is a fan. 10:00: Speaking of heres the man himself, in trademark t-shirt and sneakers. Weve seen Ternus present at events before (notably covering much of the iPhone Air segment last fall, alongside since-departed design hotshot Abidur Chowdhury), and hes a confident, relaxed speaker. But this is a different ballgame. Will we see his usual blend of positivity and technical detail, or will he default to vague platitudes in his new role as compre? 10:01: Today, were going to be hearing about three Apple products that have changed the world, Ternus says. The AirPods, the Apple Watch, and the iPhone. 10:02: Technology is all about priorities, he says. And at Apple, we believe in logistical efficiency, upsell marketing, and delivering sustainable value to shareholders amid economic headwinds. Over to Neil. John Ternus, the new boss. Apple AirPods 5 10:03: Heres a new face, likely the first of many following Apples recent exodus of senior talent . Its Neil Overall, AirPods marketing VP and a rising star at Apple Park. 10:04: The AirPods are one of the most iconic tech products in history, says Overall. But here at Apple, we refuse to rest on our laurels. This year, were going to make the best wireless earbuds in the world very, very slightly better. This is AirPods 5. 10:05: Were seeing a product video. The new AirPods look yes, exactly the same as the 4th-gen models. No redesign. Which, to be fair, was what we expected following the revamp we got on the AirPods 4. They still dont have silicone eartips. No sign of alternative color finishes either. It ends on the marketing slogan: AirPods 5: Who Cares? Youll Obviously Buy Them. 10:06: But heres a solid upgrade: the AirPods 5 get a new H3 chip . Thats a bold step, because the AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods Max 2, obviously both more expensive than the standard AirPods, remain on the H2 unless theres more news to follow! Overall says the H3 will give the AirPods 5 better active noise cancellation (which is important since they dont have the physical, passive noise cancellation of the AirPods Pro eartips) and access to Siri AI features. 10:07: The H3 chip also means improved battery life . The ANC version now lasts up to 6 hours with ANC enabled, up from 4 hours on the previous model. Obviously, thats for just the earbuds; youll get more battery life by topping up in the case (which appears to be unchanged). 10:08: On to health, and the standard AirPods are getting a temperature sensor , which will enable them to feed more data into Apple Health. But it looks like they still wont have a heart rate sensor. Thatll help Apple continue to upsell the AirPods Pro, which do have that sensor. 10:09: And were done: no sign of H3-equipped AirPods Pro or Max. (Or any AirPods with cameras .) AirPods 5 are available to pre-order on September 12, Overall announces, and will ship on September 18. Theyre $179 with ANC or $129 without, so phew, theres no price rise. Back to you, Tim, he adds. Er, I mean John. The AirPods 4, which look exactly like the AirPods 5. Petter Ahrnstedt New Apple Watches 10:10: Ternus is summing up the AirPods announcements. We think youre going to love them, he says. Ive spoken to our accountants, and its just so exciting to work at a company that makes this much money. 10:11: Whats up next? Its the Apple Watch. Ternus says Tim Cook has forwarded to him dozens and dozens of letters and emails from people whose lives were saved by health notifications on their watches. And frankly, Ternus adds, I couldnt care less. I wish people would stop sending these messages. 10:12: Another new face, this time from the Apple Park design department: Georgia de Giungle, Apple Watch product manager. We know you love Apple Watch, she says. We love Apple Watch too. But we think youre going to love the new Apple Watch even more, and pay us money so you can have it. 10:13: Product video time. Lots of visuals of happy thin people doing sports. It looks like the basic design is unchanged . (Those of us whove been doing this for a while will know that the endlessly rumored redesigned Apple Watch is always just around the corner .) But there are clearly lots of new colors and new band designs . 10:15: The video ends on the inevitable slogan. Apple Watch Series 12: Realistically The Only Option. 10:16: Were thrilled to welcome back Apple Watch Edition , gushes de Giungle. This isnt the ludicrously expensive 18-karat gold model from the initial launch, we should note, but the somewhat more recent ceramic model. Itll still be expensive, though. It looks nice, and comes in white and dark gray. 10:17: The Series 12 comes with an S12 processor , so as suspected, Apple is skipping the S11 generation. (The Series 10 and Series 11 both came with an S10 chip. Not that these designations matter a great deal.) Apple isnt making any claims about performance here, despite the nominal double upgrade, and we wouldnt expect a noticeable speed bump. It will just make things a little easier for Siri AI and similar on-device processing tasks. 10:18: For millions of our customers, Apple Watch is the health device they rely on most, says de Giungle. Heres Boswell to explain how Apple Watch Series 12 will take that to the next level. 10:19: And heres Dr. Boswell Boyce, Apple Watch and Health Product Marketing VP, to discuss health features on the new watch. Thanks, Georgia, he smiles. 10:20: The major upgrade is an all-day heart sensor . It will track your heart rate continuously, whether youre working out or not. Boyce says this is going to be a game-changer for health data and will help millions of people to diagnose potential medical problems at an earlier and more treatable stage. 10:21: Boyce is walking us through the redesigned health and fitness apps on the watch, which now offer a wider range of metrics. 10:22: Thats the new health features on Apple Watch. We think youre going to love it. Back to you, Georgia. 10:23: Now de Giungle is moving on to Apple Watch Ultra 4 . This looks to be largely the same as the Series 12: no physical redesign or new buttons, an S12 processor, and continuous heart-rate tracking. 10:24: And thats it for the Apple Watch: the SE isnt getting an update this year. Both new models will be available to pre-order on September 12 and will ship on September 18. Series 12 starts at $429 and the Ultra 4 at $829 , which in both cases is a $30 increase on the last generation. Not ideal, but it could have been worse. Two Apple Watches from the 2025 batch. David Price / Foundry iPhone 18 Pro (and 18 Pro Max) 10:25: Were back with John Ternus. Its time to talk about the iPhone, he says. Every year we release a new model and tell you its our best iPhone yet, and thats always technically true. And this year is no exception. Here is iPhone 18 Pro . We think youre going to love it. 10:26: Weve segued into a marketing video. The new phones look as attractive as ever, but (with apologies if this is getting repetitive) the designs appear to be the same as last year. The only obvious difference is that Cosmic Orange has been killed off , very sadly, and replaced by two new colors : light blue and dark red . The latter is called Dark Cherry and is sure to be the most popular option this year. 10:27: Heres the slogan: iPhone 18 Pro: So What If It Cant Fold? 10:28: Over to you, Bill, says Ternus. Thats iPhone Marketing Manager Bill Whittlingham, for those who arent familiar with the personnel at Apple Park. 10:29: Whittlingham says iPhone 18 Pro is designed from the ground up to deliver market-leading performance. The A20 Pro processor is Apples most powerful mobile chip, optimized for our best-ever AI computation and even stronger battery life. The company is claiming that the new chip is 10 percent faster than last years model. 10:30: As expected, and like the A19 Pro, the new chip has a 6-core CPU , with two performance and four efficiency cores. Pre-event rumors indicated the A20 Pro would be a 2nm chip (unlike the A19 and A19 Pro, which were 3nm chips), but that hasnt been confirmed. Read our A20 Pro preview for more info. 10:31: To get specific, that battery life Whittlingham mentioned has gone up from 33 hours of video playback on the iPhone 17 Pro to 36 hours on the 18 Pro. On the Pro Max model, its gone up from 39 hours to 44. These are smaller improvements than last year (when Pro went from 27 to 33 and Pro Max from 33 to 39), but it all helps. It isnt clear at this point how much of the increases are down to the new processors and how much is affected by battery capacity. There were rumors that the batteries would get bigger this year , but as always, Apple is keeping quiet about this spec. 10:32: There are more upgrades inside the 18 Pro. It gets the C2 cellular modem with mmWave for the first time and the N2 wireless networking chip , which brings unspecified battery life improvements. 10:33: Were getting to a crucial part of the presentation: the cameras. Whittlingham is handing over to Finbarr Saunders, Manager, iPhone Camera Architecture, for more information on that topic. 10:34: Saunders says hes proud to announce the biggest improvement in iPhone photography since the iPhone 4 got a front-facing camera. Which means the rumors were true and were getting a variable aperture on the main camera. 10:35: With this new feature, iPhone owners will be able to manually adjust the amount of light reaching the sensor, allowing for far better depth-of-field effects and more artistic control. This puts the iPhone on a par with high-end cameras and gives iPhone users the same capabilities as professional photographers, Saunders claims. But its worth bearing in mind that most iPhone owners use the Camera app on the default automatic settings, so this may affect only a small proportion of the user base. 10:36: The main camera isnt the only lens to get an upgrade. The telephoto lens is getting a wider aperture, which should result in improved low-light performance. 10:37: We cant wait to see what you do with these cameras! says Saunders. And now back to Bill. 10:38: Whittlingham is wrapping up. Ah, heres a catch: while both 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max get the upgraded telephoto lens, the bento box displaying the new features indicates that only the 18 Pro Max gets the variable aperture. Both models will be available for pre-order this Saturday, September 12 (for reasons discussed elsewhere ) and will ship on September 18 . 10:39: This part could be painful. Yes, were looking at substantial price rises on both models. The iPhone 18 Pro starts at $1,249, and the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at $1,399 . Ouch. A pre-release render of the iPhone Ultra. Foundry iPhone Ultra 10:40: Were back with Ternus, who is summing up the iPhone 18 Pro announcements. Its our fiduciary responsibility to pass on increased manufacturing costs to the consumer, he smiles. 10:41: But were moving on. The screen darkens. Something dramatic is happening. 10:42: Product video time! Yes, its the foldable iPhone . And for the first time this morning, were seeing a completely new design . For Apple fans, of course, its a completely new product category. 10:44: As we revealed some time ago , the phone is available in just two color finishes : silver/white or Indigo Blue. But the plateau housing the camera module on the back is always black; it isnt matched to the main color. 10:45: The folding iPhone appears to have the stubbier dimensions that were leaked several months back; more passport than paperback. This is becoming an increasingly popular format (Samsungs Galaxy Z Fold 8 uses it, possibly inspired by Apple ) because it results in an unfolded screen thats rectangular rather than square. 10:46: And heres the slogan. iPhone Ultra: Offensively Expensive. So Apple did decide to go with the Ultra branding. Even though this may be a controversial choice . 10:47: To tell you more about iPhone Ultra, Ternus says, heres Barbara. Thats Barbara Lighthouse, Industrial Designer, iPhone, for those who arent familiar with her work. 10:48: Lighthouse is talking about the screen. This segment is reminiscent of the iPhone Air launch last year; Apple is making a special effort to anticipate and pre-empt customers concerns about the design . In this case, the company knows that anyone whos used or even seen a foldable will be wary about marks or creases appearing on the screen over time, but Lighthouse insists that Apple has solved the crease using ultra-thin glass and optically clear adhesive . The glass is thinner at the fold point to reduce stress during repeated use. 10:50: Just to cover the numbers, the Ultras screen specs are as follows: 5.4-inch (2088 x 1422) outer screen, 7.8-inch (2713 x 1920) inner screen. For comparison, the largest screen previously seen on an iPhone was the 6.9-inch display on the Pro Max. The Ultra (when unfolded) is pushing towards tablet territory; the first five generations of iPad mini had 7.9-inch screens, barely bigger at all. 10:51: The Ultras hinge (another potential concern for wary buyers) is made out of LiquidMetal , a zirconium-based alloy which is used for small, high-precision, high-performance parts. (Apple bought worldwide rights to this material 16 years ago, yet has found very few applications up to now: SIM ejector tools and possibly some watch parts.) 10:53: As a result of this unique advantage, the iPhone Ultra has the most durable hinge in the entire foldables market, says Lighthouse. The company has tested hundreds of thousands of folds, she says. 10:54: On the inside of that carefully designed chassis, the iPhone Ultra has some, but not all, of the capabilities of the iPhone 18 Pro. It does get the A20 Pro, so (depending on the RAM allocation, which Apple never announces) it should offer extremely fast performance. It also gets the C2 modem. 10:55: But the cameras arent quite on a par with the Pro models. The main camera is a dual- rather than triple-lens setup. Theres no telephoto lens and no variable aperture . 10:56: And theres no Face ID . The Ultra unlocks using a Touch ID sensor hidden in the power button. 10:57: Lighthouse says the Ultra contains the largest battery weve ever put in an iPhone. And talks about software optimisations which should ensure users get all-day life despite running two screens. Nevertheless, as we saw with the iPhone Air last year, the numbers are mildly disappointing for what is likely to be a very premium product: the Ultra lasts up to 34 hours , less than the 18 Pro, and a lot less than the 18 Pro Max. Still, its more than the 17 Pro (33 hours) and a lot more than the iPhone Air (27). 10:59: Talking of a premium product, heres the most important number. The iPhone Ultra starts at $2,199 . And heres another bombshell: it isnt available right away. Apple says only that its coming later in 2026. There had previously been rumors that it might arrive in December despite being announced in September, so well have to wait and see. 11:00: Were back with Ternus, whos wrapping up the iPhone Ultra announcements. If its too expensive, he says, you dont have to buy it. 11:01: But you will, he adds. 11:02: It seems the event is drawing to a close. Except Apple One more thing 11:03: Those three little words : One more thing 11:04: Time for another video. Whats Apple got in store for us? Were seeing screens: screens on the wall, screens on shelves, screens sitting on the nightstand. Their owners are using them to FaceTime, talk to Siri, check the weather, search the web, control the lights, and adjust the heating. Some are just being used as clocks. Its Apples long-rumored smart home hub . 11:06: Heres the slogan: HomeHub: Because What You Really Need Is Another Screen. 11:07: John Ternus is pumped. Apple is excited to push into the smart-home market and diversify our revenues going forward, he says. 11:08: The HomeHub comes in two versions, both based around a 7-inch screen . The more slimline version is essentially just the screen and can be hung on the wall (theres a magnetic attachment for this purpose); the second mounts this screen on a half dome like a HomePod mini cut in half. 11:10: Theres a clever feature based on facial recognition : the device is able to determine whos looking at it and adjust preferences in real time, with apps and content displayed that vary according to the user. It has Center Stage, of course, and looks perfect for videoconferencing. 11:11: The HomeHub costs $349 and is available to pre-order from September 12. It will ship on September 18. 11:12: Weve got lots more smart-home products on the way to drive growth metrics, says Ternus. And that wraps up the event for today.

Nigeria Edge Zimbabwe To Qualify For ICC U19 Womens T20 World Cup 2027
ICC U19 Women: Nigeria held their nerve in a tense final against Zimbabwe to register a four-run victory and secure qualification for the ICC U19 Womens T20 World Cup 2027.
