Apple Event Today: 20 Last-Minute 'iPhone Duo' and iPhone 18 Pro Rumors

Apple will be holding an event today starting at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, with the company expected to unveil its first-ever foldable iPhone, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, AirPods 5, and potentially more. Below, we have recapped 20 last-minute rumors about these devices.

All of the details below were reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman today.

  • Apple's foldable iPhone will be named iPhone Duo.
  • iPhone Duo will have Apple Pencil support.
  • iPhone Duo shipments to customers will begin as early as October. It is unclear if pre-orders will begin earlier.
  • iPhone Duo color options: white and dark blue.
  • iPhone Duo starts with 256GB of storage. U.S. pricing will start at around $1,999.
  • iPhone Duo will have Apple's A20 Pro chip and C2 modem for 5G.
  • iPhone Duo will have dual rear 48-megapixel cameras. No Telephoto camera.

Duo is a TERRIBLE name. "Ultra" makes me want to buy it. "Duo" makes me think it's a Microsoft product from the 2010s.
