iPhone 18 Pro Expected to Stand Out From Older Models
Listen to the story
Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone 18 Pro, and reports say it will look different from earlier models.
New details suggest Apple wants this phone to stand out from previous generations of the iPhone.
Every year, Apple holds a major event in September to show off its newest products.
This year, however, some reports say that five expected products will not appear at the event.
It is not yet clear which products these are, but fans are already guessing.
Other reports focus on the iPhone 18 Pro's expected profit, meaning how much money Apple could earn from it.
There is also talk of a 'critical' update coming to iOS, Apple's software system for iPhones.
A critical update usually fixes important problems or adds needed security improvements.
Meanwhile, details have also emerged about the upcoming MacBook Ultra, a new type of Apple laptop.
Reports mention its expected specifications, or specs, which describe what the device can do.
Apple has not officially confirmed these details, and specifics remain limited for now.
