If you can't wait to lay your eyes on the iPhone 18 Pro and foldable iPhone Ultra (partially because you might not be able to lay your hands on them), you aren't alone. Some service providers are already getting ahead of themselves, though you shouldn't put too much stock in their premature listings. Still, if you are like us and are trying to gobble up every scrap of information while counting down the days, a South Korean carrier has already put up a landing page for Apple's upcoming devices.
Does it give anything away?

Not really. While the South Korean carrier LG Uplus is already hyping the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra, it appears to be just as in the dark as the rest of us. It's clearly working off leaks, and the page features some pretty flimsy, AI-generated renders. Full marks for transparency, at least.
So what's the point?
Carriers in South Korea and America are simply teasing the new phones ahead of the September 9 reveal. They are priming customers for the launch and subtly asking them to hold off on upgrading until Apple's new phones are announced.

Why should you care?
Because at this stage in the news cycle, it's tough to separate the wheat from the chaff. With reliable sources harping on the same features for months, everyone is desperate for fresh details, making us a little too eager to swallow unverified reports, such as a recent one about pricing.
Is it really the eve, or rather, the pre-eve, of an event if everyone doesn't want to join in on the fun?
From demo units to leaked parts, tipsters are throwing everything at the wall to paint a complete picture of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra.
Both phones will likely run on the 2nm A20 Pro chip. The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to feature a variable camera system, while the iPhone Ultra is rumored to resemble the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8.
