What Else Is Happening In Apple's iPhone Lineup?

While the current model sees a price correction, Apple is also expected to keep pricing for its next generation in a similar range. Analyst reports suggest the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max could be priced comparably to their predecessors.

On the launch schedule front, the Pro models are expected to debut in September this year, while the standard iPhone 18 may arrive in March next year, continuing a split-release approach Apple has followed before.

Separately, Apple's foldable iPhone is drawing attention. Analysts suggest production shipments could begin by December, with a potential launch in September 2026. The device is expected to carry a book-style design with a 7.8-inch inner OLED display and a 5.5-inch outer screen. 

It may also include a Touch ID-enabled power button instead of Face ID, a high-end chipset, up to 12GB RAM, and storage going up to 1TB. Apple has not officially confirmed any details about the iPhone 18 series or a foldable device.
