Apple is working on major changes that have consequences for the line-up of the iPhone. These iPhones are planned in the coming years!
Apple adjusts line-up
There are major changes at Apple! It has been clear for some time that the line-up of the iPhone will be different this year than before. Apple is again planned for four iPhones, but says goodbye to the iPhone Plus. Instead, we see the new iPhone 17 Air this year. According to rumors, the phone has a 6.6-inch display and becomes much thinner than the other iPhones. It may even be Apple’s thinnest device ever.
In addition, the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max appear. According to new rumors, the changes do not stop there, because Apple is planning much more in the coming years. Not only new iPhones are planned, but also the moment when the devices appear. The regular iPhone will no longer appear in September from 2026, but only in the spring. We put the changes for you among each other.
These iPhones are planned
The usually reliable Apple connoisseur Ming-Chi Kuo has shared the planning of the iPhones for the coming years. Wayne Ma van The Information previously shared a similar planning, making it plausible that the rumors are correct. It is striking that we will not see a new entry -level model at all next year. Instead, Apple releases five (!) Other new iPhones. These are them:
- iPhone 17th;
- iPhone 18 Air;
- iPhone 18 Pro;
- iPhone 18 Pro Max;
- iPhone 18 fold.
The iPhone 16th was released this year in the spring, in 2026 the iPhone 17th is expected around the same period. Later that year the iPhone 18 Air, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and the iPhone 18 Fold are planned. Apple has again four iPhones on the schedule, because the first foldable iPhone then appears. Due to the release of the iPhone Fold, the regular iPhone 18 moves to 2027. That year these devices come:
- iPhone 18;
- iPhone 18th;
- iPhone 19 Air;
- iPhone 19 Pro;
- iPhone 19 Pro Max;
- iPhone 19 fold.
New era for the iPhone
So in 2027 no fewer than six new iPhones are planned. According to Kuo and Ma, the iPhone 18 and the iPhone 18th appear in the spring, just like the iPhone 16th and the iPhone 17th. Apple will release the other four iPhones in September. The line-up of the iPhone will therefore change considerably in the coming years, so we will not see a new entry model of the phone next year. Instead, the first foldable iPhone appears.
So in the coming years we can expect new iPhones in both the spring and autumn, provided that the rumors are correct. Of course a lot can happen in the meantime, the release of the iPhone Fold is said to have been postponed more often. In any case, it is clear that there are many new iPhones on the schedule and that Apple is working on major changes. Do you not want to miss anything about that? Then register for our newsletter!
