Apple's Future iPhones: A Foldable Design and Higher Prices Expected
Apple may make a new kind of phone. It can fold in half. People call it the iPhone Ultra.
At a big tech show called IFA, some people saw a similar phone. It was not the real iPhone Ultra. But it looked close to it.
Apple also makes other phones. One is called the iPhone 18 Pro. This phone may cost more money soon.
The reason is memory parts. Memory helps a phone save photos and apps. The price of memory has gone up a lot.
News says memory costs went up by 400%. This is a very big rise. So Apple might need $100 more for the iPhone 18 Pro.
The iPhone 18 Pro may also get a new camera part. It is called a diaphragm. This part can change how photos look.
This new part could make photos much better. People are excited to learn more about it.
Apple has not said anything yet. We do not know the real price or release date.
