Key Points:
- Rumors suggest that Apple will not release a base iPhone 18 model this fall, with its launch delayed until early 2027.
- The upcoming iPhone lineup is expected to include the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, Ultra, and possibly iPhone Air 2, but no standard iPhone 18.
- Supply chain leaker Fixed Focus Digital reports that Apple has extended production of the base iPhone 17 longer than usual, indicating a longer sales cycle.
- Typically, production of the previous base model winds down before a new release, but the extended iPhone 17 production suggests a delayed iPhone 18 launch.
- This change marks a significant shift in Apple's usual iPhone release schedule and product lineup strategy.
