iPhone 18 Base Model Slated for Spring 2027, Supplier Hints Split Launch
A major Apple supplier’s comments suggest the standard iPhone 18 will launch in early 2027, with Apple reportedly moving to a split release: premium iPhone 18 Pro models in September and base iPhone 18 along with related lower-cost variants arriving in spring 2027. The remarks—from Largan Precision’s chairman—hint at a shift to staggered launches to improve manufacturing efficiency as Apple expands its lineup, though design remains unchanged for the base model.
