Current expectations point toward the first half of 2027, potentially around March, departing from Apple's usual September launch cycle for its main smartphone range.
Reports suggest that Apple could introduce the iPhone 18e and the second-generation iPhone Air to the market within days of the standard iPhone 18 launch.
