Why Apple Is Skipping the iPhone 18 in 2026
For more than a decade, Apple’s annual rhythm has been almost ritualistic: each September, the world eagerly anticipates the debut of a new iPhone. In 2026, however, that tradition is about to change. A growing chorus of reports points to Apple forgoing the launch of a standard iPhone 18 model this year—a landmark shift in strategy that will keep the iPhone 17 as the flagship standard model for an unprecedented 18 months.

Promises made in 2024’s software roadmaps took longer than anticipated to reach users.
