Report suggests Apple is adjusting its iPhone release timeline.

Every year, in the first half of September, we get new iPhones. Aside from the occasional out-of-schedule launch of a low-cost model — the iPhone 16e launched last February, for example — since 2013, Apple has been launching its flagship smartphone in the fall, and only in the fall. This might change soon. According to a new report by The Information (via Engadget), Apple is planning to change its launch schedule for the iPhone, starting in 2026. Instead of launching all of its flagships in the fall, the company will start releasing the Pro models in the fall, while the standard iPhones launch in the spring.

Apple is reportedly doing this to accommodate new models entering the lineup, including the rumored foldable iPhone and the iPhone Air, which is expected to debut this year alongside the other models in the fall.

The Information’s report also shared a few new details about Apple’s upcoming iPhones. For this year’s iPhone 17 Air, it is alleged to have less battery life than regular models (due to its thinness), which Apple plans to address by releasing an optional battery case.

As for the iPhone 18 models, the report claims that the Pro and Pro Max will feature under-the-display Face ID technology, with only a small, circular cut-out for the front-facing camera in the upper left corner of the screen. Similar reports have surfaced before, but it’s unclear what this would mean for Apple’s Dynamic Island. Furthermore, The Information claims that in 2027, Apple plans to launch an all-screen iPhone, which would not have any camera or Face ID cutout on the front.
