Apple's 2026: Foldable iPhone & 18 Pro Debut

Apple is reportedly gearing up for a significant iPhone launch event in September 2026, potentially unveiling both the foldable iPhone and the iPhone 18 Pro simultaneously. Sources suggest that mass production for these devices will commence around July 2026.

However, the standard iPhone 18 model is rumored to have a delayed release, with its debut anticipated in early 2027. This departure from Apple's usual launch schedule is speculated to be a strategic move to optimize sales across its product range.

In addition to these flagship devices, the tech giant is also expected to release the iPhone 17e soon, offering a more budget-friendly option. The foldable iPhone, a long-rumored product, appears closer to reality, with efforts focused on minimizing screen creasing for an aesthetically pleasing and powerful, albeit expensive, device. The iPhone 18 Pro is also expected to feature upgrades, possibly including a smaller Dynamic Island and enhanced performance.
