iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo: What to Expect

By Stiv · Design, technology and personal finance
Nobody outside Apple knows whether a phone called the iPhone 18 Pro exists. What Apple has confirmed is a date. Wednesday 9 September, 6pm UK time, at an event it is calling Surprise and shine. Everything else you have read this week, including the name in that first sentence, is reporting rather than fact, so I have kept the two apart all the way down this page.

This is not financial or buying advice. Prices and launch dates change, and most of the product detail below is unconfirmed reporting, so check Apple's own pages before you spend anything.
Thinking of buying the outgoing model instead?

Cool Factor: 4/5, Stone cold
This MacBook Neo review UK is the one I never thought I would write. Apple making a genuinely affordable laptop? At £699? It felt unlikely right up until the moment I unboxed my Citrus-coloured unit and realised it was actually real. After spending several weeks travelling, working, and bingeing shows on it, I can confidently say this is one of the most interesting Apple products in years. However, it's not without its quirks, and at least one cost-cutting decision that feels properly annoying.

Apple Studio Display XDR Review: Is £2,999 Worth It?

The Apple Studio Display XDR review everybody has been waiting for. Seven years on from the Pro Display XDR, Apple has finally returned to the professional monitor space -- and this time, at a price that won't require a second mortgage. Sort of. At £2,999, the Studio Display XDR is still a serious investment, but for the first time in a long while, Apple's premium display actually makes sense for a wider audience of creatives and professionals. Whether it makes sense for you is a different question entirely.

iPhone 17 vs 17e: Which Should You Buy? (UK Buyer’s Guide)

The iPhone 17 vs 17e decision is one most UK buyers are wrestling with right now. Apple's 17e landed on 11 March at £599, sitting a full £200 below the standard iPhone 17 at £799. Both run the same A19 chip and pack a 48MP main camera, so on paper they look remarkably similar. However, dig a little deeper and the differences start to matter. Whether you care about refresh rates, camera flexibility or simply getting the best value, this guide breaks down every key difference so you can decide with confidence.
Still choosing between models? My iPhone guides hub collects the lot, from the 16e comparison to refurbished deals and SIM plans.

The iPhone 17e UK launch landed on 11 March 2026 at £599, the same price Apple charged for the 16e the year before. Apple has since raised it to £699, from 9 September 2026. Either way, you're getting double the storage, MagSafe, and a faster chip. It's not a revolution. It was never meant to be. Here's our honest take on what Apple's cheapest iPhone actually delivers and where it quietly cuts corners.
Comparing the 17e with the rest of the range? My iPhone guides hub has every iPhone guide in one place, plus Apple's current UK prices.
