Apple has officially opened pre-orders for its latest iPhone 18 Pro series, set to hit the market on September 18. If you're eager to get your hands on the new features, this is your chance. However, for those seeking foldable options, Samsung has discounted its Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra this week.
New Features of the iPhone 18 Pro Series
While the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max maintain a similar design to their predecessors, the iPhone 17 Pro series, they introduce exciting new color options. Under the hood, these devices are powered by the cutting-edge 2nm A20 Pro chipset, enhancing performance significantly. Additionally, the models feature a variable aperture main rear camera, making photography more versatile.
Price Adjustments and Discounts
In a notable shift, Apple has increased the pricing of both Pro models. For those looking to save, the previous iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are currently available with discounts reaching up to £150, offering a more budget-friendly alternative for consumers.
Upcoming iPhone Duo Launch
If you’re excited about Apple’s first foldable, the iPhone Duo, pre-orders will commence on October 16, with sales starting on October 23. This device boasts a 7.6-inch inner flexible display and a 5.4-inch cover screen, both designed with a 4:3 aspect ratio. It also runs on the A20 Pro chipset but comes equipped with a dual-rear camera setup.
Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 and Other Discounts
In the realm of foldables, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 stands as a formidable competitor to the iPhone Duo, currently available with a discount of up to £250. For users wanting a larger display, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is also on sale, offering similar savings. Additionally, the Galaxy Z Flip8 is seeing price cuts, making it an attractive option for those who prefer a more compact device.
Galaxy S26 Series on Sale
Samsung is not just focusing on foldables; its entire Galaxy S26 lineup has also seen significant discounts. The recently launched Galaxy S26 FE is on sale, with the Galaxy S26 Ultra receiving a massive £400 price cut. The Galaxy S26+ is also reduced by £370, while the standard Galaxy S26 is available for £250 less. The Galaxy S26 FE features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, the Exynos 2500 chipset, a 4,900mAh battery, and a capable triple-rear camera setup.
With these exciting new releases and discounts, consumers have a variety of options to choose from, whether they prefer the latest iPhones or the innovative foldable devices from Samsung.
