Apple has hiked priced across its range of products the past few months, but the iPhone has so far escaped unscathed. That is set to change today when Apple unveils its newest lineup of high-end iPhone models, including iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the brand new foldable device, the iPhone Duo.

But a late-breaking Bloomberg report indicates that the price increases may not be as bad as some feared. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will cost $100 more than the previous-generation, setting a new starting price of $1199.

Apple will announce the new Apple Watch lineup later today, and Mark Gurman at Bloomberg has the early scoop. He reports that the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 will include a new AI feature that ambiently listens to the microphone, GPS, and uses other sensor data, to generate daily recaps of what you did, including conversation summaries.

Gurman says the feature does not store audio recordings, and can be controlled to run all day long, or only when at certain locations. and generated Recaps will be stored inside the new Siri app.

Apple is officially set to unveil its first foldable iPhone in a few hours. On the eve of the event, Mark Gurman at Bloomberg has reported some last-minute details, including a spoiler for the foldable iPhone’s actual name: iPhone Duo.
