Apple plans a staggered release for its iPhone 18 lineup in 2026, launching Pro models in fall and standard models, alongside a new iPhone 16e, in spring 2027. A foldable iPhone is also anticipated for fall 2026. To mitigate reliance on China, Apple may manufacture cheaper iPhone 18 models in India. Additionally, a slimmer 'iPhone 17 Air' is expected later this year, with a successor planned for 2026.
