There's nothing quite like a new phone release, but there's also no doubt that they can be a tricky tightrope for a company to walk. With that in mind, the rumors that Apple could be changing the iPhone 18 release schedule make me worry that it might have fallen off said rope.
According to rumors, Apple could still release the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and the rumored iPhone Fold in the fall of 2026. That would follow the company's usual trend, but the big change has to do with the other options. It appears that Apple could release the regular iPhone 18 and the cheaper iPhone 18e six months later than those phones, in the Spring of 2027.
