Another important note: Gurman says Apple’s first foldable iPhone will have Apple Pencil support. Steve Jobs won’t be happy…
Gurman adds in the same X post that the iPhone Duo will have a starting price of $2,000, rising to $3,000 for the 2TB model. And, yes, in case you were in any doubt: those numbers would make the Duo the most expensive iPhone of all time.
Could the iPhone Ultra be the iPhone Duo?
According to seasoned Apple tipster Mark Gurman, the iPhone Ultra will in fact be called the iPhone Duo. It’s pretty hard to believe that such a drastically different name has emerged just hours before the product itself is due to be unveiled — so we’re still a tad skeptical about its authenticity — but Gurman has an excellent track record when it comes to Apple predictions.
Apple landed on the iPhone Duo name for the foldable iPhone and a $2,000 starting price, eating the additional memory costs. Storage capacities will reach 2 terabytes and roughly $3,000. It’ll ship in October, has support for the Apple Pencil and come in dark blue + white. https://t.co/58VLtVNka6September 9, 2026
Of those nine rumored products, the most hotly anticipated is Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which we’ve been referring to as the ‚iPhone Ultra‘ for close to a year now. But at the very last minute, the rumor mill has spat out an unexpected new name for this folding device…
First, a quick reminder of what’s happening: Apple’s ‘Surprise and Shine’ event is scheduled to start at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST today (that’s 3am AEST on September 10 if you’re in Australia).
This is the 2026 edition of Apple’s annual product showcase, and we’re expecting to see as many as nine (yes, nine) new products unveiled.
Good morning, folks! It’s Apple Day — the most important date in the annual tech calendar and the busiest day of the year for the TechRadar office (sigh).
I’ll be bringing you the latest iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch rumors ahead of the event’s kick-off later today, and trust me: there’s a lot to cover.
