Overview
- According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple plans to debut iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and its first foldable iPhone in fall 2026, followed about six months later by iPhone 18, an iPhone 18e and possibly an updated iPhone Air.
- The reports say the iPhone Air 2 was not postponed from fall 2026 but targeted for spring 2027 from the outset, countering claims that weak sales forced a delay.
- Coverage indicates Apple intends to move the 2026 high‑end models to TSMC’s 2‑nanometer Apple Silicon, with the Air 2 also focusing on a 2‑nm chip for better efficiency and battery life rather than major hardware changes.
- Shifting to two seasonal launches is reported to reduce engineering and manufacturing bottlenecks and to spread iPhone revenue more evenly across the fiscal year.
- Outlets attribute the plan to insider reporting from Bloomberg, and Apple has not commented, leaving timing and product details subject to change.
