The iPhone 18 will be a long wait! If not in 2026, when will it launch?
The launch timeline for the iPhone 18 series could change significantly. While the Pro models could launch in 2026, those looking to purchase the iPhone 18 may have to wait a little longer. If you're also eagerly awaiting this model, let's tell you when this new model is expected to launch.
Apple may make significant changes to the iPhone launch timeline next year. The iPhone 18 series is expected to be launched in two phases, meaning the entire series won't be launched all at once, as is the case every year.
The iPhone 18 Pro models, along with the iPhone Fold, could launch in September 2026, but media reports suggest the iPhone 18 won't be launched in 2026. This raises the question: when will the iPhone 18 be launched?
iPhone 18 Launch: When will this new iPhone be launched?
According to media reports, this new iPhone could be launched for consumers in early 2027, although no launch date has been revealed yet. A new leak suggests that trial production of the iPhone 18 has yet to begin.
According to tipster Fixed Focus Digital on the Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, trial production of the iPhone 18 is expected to begin after the Lunar New Year.
This timing is significant because the Lunar New Year shutdown in China typically ends in late February, after which factories can resume normal operations and work on new projects on a large scale. The iPhone 18 could launch in 2027 alongside the iPhone 18e and the next-generation iPhone Air.
iPhone 18 Specifications (Expected)
This new iPhone could be powered by the A20 chipset, while the Pro models could feature the A20 Pro Bionic processor. The Pro models could also use under-display Face ID, eliminating the need for a dynamic island. However, the iPhone 18 series is not expected to feature any major design changes.
iPhone 18 Price (Expected)
There's no information available about the price of this model, but it's expected to be priced around the same price as the iPhone 17. If this happens, it could mean the iPhone 18 could also launch in India at a starting price of ₹82,900.
