Overview
- Leak-based reports indicate the lower-cost iPhone 17e is entering production and could debut in late February or March with a Dynamic Island design, MagSafe support, and a binned A19 chip.
- Analyst and supply‑chain reporting suggests the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are targeted for September 2026 with larger batteries and an A20 Pro processor built on TSMC’s 2nm process, alongside other rumored tweaks such as under‑display Face ID.
- Apple’s first foldable iPhone is widely reported for fall 2026 with a book‑style design, an inner display around 7.5–7.8 inches, a titanium chassis, and an engineering goal of minimizing or eliminating a crease using Samsung OLED tech and a reinforced hinge.
- Pricing for the foldable is projected by analysts to start roughly between $1,800 and $2,399 in the U.S., with some estimates approaching $2,500, positioning it as Apple’s most expensive iPhone.
- The standard iPhone 18 is reportedly deferred to early 2027, signaling a new cadence that prioritizes higher‑end models first; none of these details are confirmed by Apple.
