Skipping this iPhone? Here’s what’s coming next.

What happened
Apple is splitting its iPhone launches in two. The regular iPhone 18 moves to spring 2027, along with a cheaper 18e and a redesigned iPhone Air 2 that may add a second, wider camera. 9to5Mac rounded up the reports.
Why it matters
The big one comes next fall: a 20th anniversary iPhone 20 Pro, reportedly with a glassier design, thinner borders and Face ID hidden under the screen. A second iPhone Duo is also expected. And prices are climbing: the iPhone 17 just went from 799 to 899 dollars.
OTN take
Our take: only the spring launch is official. The rest are reports and leaks. If your phone still works well, waiting is a smart move, because the 2027 lineup looks like the bigger upgrade.
