Apple is set to release its premium iPhone 18 models in fall 2026 while shifting more affordable versions to spring 2027. The change marks a departure from the company's usual single-fall launch cycle. Rumors also point to a new foldable device joining the lineup.
The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected in September alongside a foldable model referred to as the iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra. That foldable device is projected to start above $2,000. Standard models including the iPhone 18, iPhone 18E and a second-generation iPhone Air are scheduled for February or March 2027.
