After years of relatively incremental updates, 2025 turned out to be a significant year for the iPhone. Apple gave us a brand new model in the form of the (sadly ill-fated) iPhone Air, while the iPhone Pro line up sported a bold and somewhat controversial new unibody design. But 2026 is looking like an even more notable year in terms of what Apple will—and won't—announce.
Rumours have suggested for a while that Apple is planning to deviate from its standard practice of announcing both the standard iPhone and the iPhone Pro this September. And now, one of Apple's suppliers has allegedly confirmed that the standard iPhone 18 won't be appearing until next year.
