Apple Roadmap Leak: iPhone Fold, A18 MacBook, and 25 New Devices Revealed

Apple is usually the king of secrets, but a massive leak has just changed everything. Recently, details of 25 upcoming Apple products were discovered hidden within a beta software update. This isn’t just a rumor about a single phone; it is a complete roadmap that gives us a glimpse into Apple’s plans for the next two years.

iPhone Fold, A18 MacBook, and 25 New Devices Revealed

At Zebialerts, we prioritize bringing you practical and fact-based tech updates. From the much-anticipated iPhone Fold to a surprisingly affordable MacBook, here is everything you need to know about the leaked Apple lineup and what it means for consumers in Pakistan and worldwide.


The Showstopper: iPhone Fold and the “One More Thing” Moment

For years, tech enthusiasts have debated whether Apple would ever enter the foldable market. The latest leaks confirm that the iPhone Fold is not only real but is nearing its final stages of development.

Design and Display Specs

Apple has been testing two different sizes for the internal screen: an 8.3-inch and a 7.74-inch variant. According to the internal codes, Apple has finalized the 7.74-inch internal display. To put that into perspective, the outer display will be approximately 5.46 inches.

The form factor is expected to follow a “book-type” shape, similar to the Google Pixel Fold. This design prioritizes a wider aspect ratio, making it feel more like a mini-tablet when unfolded and a compact phone when closed.

Build Quality: Titanium and Liquid Metal

Apple is sticking to its premium build philosophy. The outer body will likely feature Grade 5 Titanium, while the internal hinges will use a combination of Aluminum and a Liquid Metal Alloy. This alloy is specifically designed to be heated and strengthened, ensuring the folding mechanism survives thousands of cycles without failure.

The Trade-off: Thickness vs. Battery

Interestingly, the iPhone Fold is expected to be slightly thicker than the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. While most brands race to make foldables thinner, Apple is choosing utility. The extra thickness allows for a massive 5400 mAh to 5600 mAh battery. For users who find current foldables lacking in endurance, this could be a major selling point.


Under-Display Cameras and the 24MP Breakthrough

One of the most controversial leaks involves the camera setup. Apple is reportedly moving away from the Dynamic Island for the internal screen of the Fold.

  • Outer Screen: A standard punch-hole camera, similar to high-end Android flagship designs.
  • Internal Screen: An Under-Display Camera (UDC).

Historically, UDCs have suffered from poor image quality because light has to travel through the screen pixels. However, Apple is reportedly attempting a 24-megapixel under-display sensor. If they pull this off, it would be a significant jump over the 4MP or 16MP sensors currently used by competitors.


The New iPad Revolution: Skipping Generations

If you are looking for value for money in the Pakistani market, the base-model iPad has always been a top contender. Currently, the iPad with the A16 Bionic chip retails for around Rs. 115,000 to 120,000 in Pakistan.

The leak suggests Apple is planning a massive performance jump. Instead of moving to the A17 or A18 chip, the next entry-level iPad is expected to jump straight to the A19 chip. This is the same processor slated for the iPhone 17 and 18 series. This would make the cheapest iPad more powerful than most laptops priced under Rs. 200,000, offering unparalleled longevity for students and professionals.


MacBook Air with A18 Pro: The Chromebook Killer?

Perhaps the most practical leak for the average user is the “Budget MacBook.” Apple is reportedly working on a device powered by the A18 Pro chip (the same chip found in the iPhone 16 Pro Max).

Why an iPhone Chip in a MacBook?

By using a mobile-first architecture, Apple can achieve two things:

  1. Extreme Portability: A fanless, ultra-thin design that weighs almost nothing.
  2. Affordability: This laptop is aimed at the education and office sectors, specifically to compete with Google’s Chromebooks.

The rumored price tag is around $600. In Pakistan, even with taxes, a brand-new MacBook at an entry-level price point would be a game-changer. It offers the security of macOS and the efficiency of Apple Silicon without the $1,000+ entry fee.


Home Hub and the Table Top Robot

Apple is also looking to dominate your living room. The leak reveals a new category of devices:

  • Apple Home Hub: Similar to an Amazon Echo Show, this device will feature a touch screen, a high-quality speaker, and Siri integration. It will act as the command center for your smart home, allowing for video calls and news updates.
  • Table Top Robot: This is Apple’s most ambitious home project. It’s essentially a motorized Home Hub that can move and tilt its screen to follow you during a conversation or video call. It is rumored to resemble the iconic “iMac G4” design with its adjustable neck.

Wearables and Vision Pro “Air”

The Apple Vision Pro was a technical marvel but carried a staggering $3,500 price tag. The leaks confirm that Apple is working on a “Vision Air” model.

Following the naming convention of the iPad Air and MacBook Air, this headset will be lighter, slimmer, and significantly cheaper. While it may lose some of the “Pro” features like the external “Eyesight” display, it will retain the core spatial computing experience for a broader audience.

Additionally, Apple is developing AI Smart Glasses (Code N50). These are not AR glasses with a screen; rather, they are audio-based AI glasses similar to the Meta Ray-Bans. They will feature cameras for “looking” at the world and Siri for providing real-time information through integrated speakers.


Complete List of Leaked Device Codes

While we don’t have marketing names for every device, the software codes reveal a massive roadmap including:

  • AirTag 2: Expected to have 3x better range and precision.
  • Studio Display 2: Now featuring 120Hz ProMotion and HDR support for professional editors.
  • Apple TV Next-Gen: Improved processing for gaming.
  • HomePod Mini 2: Updated acoustics and Thread support.
  • Apple Watch Series 12 & Ultra 4: Incremental updates focusing on health sensors.

Pricing and Availability in Pakistan

For our readers in Pakistan, timing and pricing are always the biggest concerns. Based on the leaks:

ProductExpected Global PriceEstimated PKR (Approx.)
iPhone Fold$2,000Rs. 580,000+
Budget MacBook (A18)$600Rs. 180,000 – 210,000
iPad (A19 Chip)$350 – $450Rs. 115,000 – 140,000
Vision Air$1,500 – $2,000Rs. 450,000+

Note: Estimates include potential import duties and local taxes.


Expert Insight: Why These Leaks Matter

This level of leakage is unprecedented for Apple. Usually, we get bits and pieces, but having the software codes for 25 devices suggests that Apple is accelerating its ecosystem.

The shift toward the iPhone Fold shows that Apple is finally ready to tackle the “crease” issue that has plagued Samsung. The focus on a Table Top Robot suggests they want to win the AI-home war. For the Pakistani consumer, the most exciting part is the A18 MacBook and the A19 iPad, which bring flagship performance down to a price point that makes sense for students and freelancers.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. When will the iPhone Fold launch?

The iPhone Fold is expected to launch in September 2026, alongside the iPhone 18 series, as a “One More Thing” surprise.

2. Will the cheaper MacBook be powerful enough for video editing?

Since it uses the A18 Pro chip (from the iPhone 16 Pro Max), it will handle 4K video editing and heavy multitasking surprisingly well, though it may lack the thermal management of the “M” series chips for long rendering tasks.

3. Is the AirTag 2 worth waiting for?

If you frequently lose items at long distances (like at an airport), yes. The 3x range improvement is a significant hardware upgrade over the original.

4. What happened to the Apple AR Glasses?

According to the leaks, the true AR glasses (with transparent displays) have been canceled or delayed indefinitely in favor of the AI Smart Glasses (Audio/Siri focused).


Conclusion: A New Era for Apple Fans

The next 24 months are going to be the busiest in Apple’s history. From reinventing the home with robotics to finally giving us a foldable iPhone, the company is branching out into every corner of our lives.

For those in Pakistan looking to upgrade, the takeaway is clear: if you can wait a few months, the upcoming iPad and budget MacBook might offer the best value for money we’ve seen in a decade.
