Apple Plans Early 2027 iPhone 18 Launch and Redesigned iPhone 20 Anniversary Model
Apple is reportedly altering its iPhone launch cycle in 2027, with the standard iPhone 18 expected in early 2027 and a redesigned premium model, possibly named iPhone 20, planned for later that year to mark the 20th anniversary of the original iPhone. The company may skip the iPhone 19 name. Reports indicate supply constraints have influenced this schedule, and while an all-glass design was considered for the anniversary model, production challenges have led to design adjustments. A more affordable iPhone 18e and a second-generation iPhone Air may also launch in early 2027.
