iPhone 18 standard models delayed to spring 2026 – only Pro debuts this September

Apple will not launch the full iPhone 18 lineup this September, breaking with its usual all-at-once release pattern. Only the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and a new foldable iPhone will debut in the fall. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18 Plus are expected to arrive in spring 2026, reportedly to give the foldable model more spotlight.
