Apple is expected to shake up its usual iPhone calendar next year, with the iPhone Air 2, iPhone 18e and standard iPhone 18 reportedly lined up for spring 2027, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The three devices are said to be scheduled for a March or April unveiling, most likely at a US event, with the iPhone Air 2 positioned as a slim higher-end option and the iPhone 18e as a cheaper entry point.
Apple has traditionally anchored its main iPhone launches in September. The current iPhone Air and iPhone 17 arrived together last autumn, while the cheaper iPhone 16e and iPhone 17e were introduced in the first quarter of 2025 and 2026. The latest suggestion is that Apple will push further into a split release strategy, unveiling some models in autumn and holding others back until spring to spread demand and ease production pressure.
