Instead of deciding between four new models of iphones each fall, you may have to choose from three in spring and fall. A new report of Information Affirms that Apple will modify the liberation cycle of its smartphones, starting with the iPhone 18 in 2026. According to InformationThree anonymous supply chain sources have detailed that the most expensive models will be launched first, which means that Pro models will keep the fall release window and that standard model iPhones will be pushed the following spring.
This is a notable difference compared to the all-at-one out-to-one output calendar, but that could indicate that Apple wants to make room for other models, such as the foldable iPhone with long rumors. If the report is precise, Apple would publish the iPhone 18 Pro, the iPhone 18 Pro Max and potentially the foldable iPhone in the fall of 2026, followed by the basic model of the iPhone 18, the iPhone 18 Slim and the iPhone 18th in spring 2027.
If you have paid special attention to Apple outings, this change may not be a big surprise. While the company publishes its annual lot of new iPhones in September or October from the iPhone 5, Apple began to break with the calendar with the introduction of iPhone SE models, which were generally published in March or April. More recently, Apple presented the iPhone 16th in February to replace the SE range. As for the iPhone 17, we always expect the regularly scheduled Apple program with four new devices to be revealed in September.
