The iPhone 18 model will likely skip Apple’s fall release next year.
iPhone 17 launch is just a few days away.

Overview

  • Multiple reports point to a September 9 unveiling for four models: iPhone 17, a new ultra‑thin 17 Air replacing Plus, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max.
  • A short clip from leaker Majin Bu shows a silicone case with tiny corner holes that could take a lanyard, though outlets note the accessory may be third‑party given the lack of branding.
  • Standard models are widely tipped for an A19 chip, with Pro variants expected to use A19 Pro alongside deeper Apple Intelligence integration.
  • Camera upgrades reported include a 24MP front TrueDepth system across the lineup and 48MP sensors on Pro models, with a 48MP periscope telephoto on Pro Max.
  • Separate leaks outline an iPhone 17e for early 2026 with A19, a 6.1‑inch 60Hz OLED, a 48MP rear camera and 12MP front camera, while ETNews signals a 2026–2027 cadence shift that could delay the standard iPhone 18 to 2027.
