Reports suggest that it won&#8217;t make an appearance at all in the fall.<\/p>\n<p>Rather, Apple will hold over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/iphone-18\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone 18<\/a> until the spring of 2027, with a launch event potentially happening around March, when the iPhone 18e and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/iphone-air\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone Air<\/a> 2 could also make an appearance.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, if you typically buy a standard iPhone model, you won&#8217;t be able to get a new one in the fall, because Apple is saving its less expensive iPhone models for early next year.<\/p>\n<p>The standard \u200ciPhone 18\u200c model isn&#8217;t expected to feature design changes, but it could adopt Apple&#8217;s upcoming 2-nanometer A20 chip. The standard \u200ciPhone 18\u200c could also be upgraded to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/10\/25\/iphone-18-to-feature-more-ram\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">12GB RAM<\/a>, bringing it into alignment with the current iPhone Pro models. There may be an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/01\/21\/iphone-18-rumored-to-feature-much-brighter-display\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">improved display<\/a> for the \u200ciPhone 18\u200c, too. <\/p>\n<p>Otherwise though, we aren&#8217;t anticipating major changes. If you already own an \u200ciPhone 17\u200c, the next generation may turn out to be the one to skip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple is widely believed to be shaking up its iPhone launch strategy for its next generation of flagship&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":781399,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[8698,611,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-781398","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-iphone-18","9":"tag-mobile","10":"tag-technology","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116537627811839778","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/781398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=781398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/781398\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/781399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=781398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=781398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=781398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
