After over a decade of debuting its latest iPhones in the fall, Apple's reportedly shaking things up starting with the iPhone 18 release schedule. According to Mark Gurman in Bloomberg's "Power On" newsletter, Apple plans to switch to a twice-yearly release schedule, with three high-end models — the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and rumored iPhone Fold — set for the fall of 2026 while the iPhone 18 and cheaper iPhone 18e will launch in spring 2027.
"I expect this pattern to continue for years to come, with Apple launching between five and six new models annually," Gurman said.
Alongside the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e, we could also see Apple debut a revamped iPhone Air, Gurman said, though other rumors claim Apple's scrapped plans to debut its ultra-thin iPhone Air 2 in spring 2027.
