iPhone Duo

iPhone Duo opens like a book. It is the thinnest iPhone ever when open, with a 7.6-inch inner display that is 50 per cent larger than the display on the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Closed, the 5.4-inch outer display gives you 90 per cent of the screen area of the iPhone 18 Pro. Pre-orders will open on Friday 16 October and it will be available from Friday 23 October. Our iPhone Duo guide covers the displays, cameras, trade-offs and who it suits.

iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max

The headline is a new 48MP Fusion Main camera with a variable aperture, powered by the A20 Pro chip. They come in black, silver, glacier and burgundy. Pre-orders will open on Saturday 12 September and they will be available from Friday 18 September. See our iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max guide.

Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4

Both have a new Health Sensing System and a readiness score. Apple says they deliver the most accurate heart rate sensing in a wearable, based on its own study. They will be available from 18 September. See our Apple Watch guide.

AirPods 5

AirPods 5 bring Active Noise Cancellation to Apple’s open-ear AirPods. Apple says it removes up to 50 per cent more noise than AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. They will be available from 18 September. See our AirPods 5 guide.

Siri AI across the range

All of these products work with Siri AI. On the iPhone it needs an iPhone 15 Pro or later, so every new iPhone qualifies. Siri AI is a beta that works in English to start, and Apple says usage limits apply. Our Siri AI guide explains what it does, and our iOS 27 guide covers the software.
