Where's the iPhone 18? Here’s Why Apple Didn’t Reveal a New Standard iPhone
Apple unveiled the iPhone 18 Pro and its first foldable phone, while analysts say the standard iPhone 18 could arrive in early 2027.
- On Sept. 9, Apple revealed the new Pro and foldable Duo, but the standard iPhone 18 was absent from the lineup.

- CEO John Ternus, who started Sept. 1, faces a pivotal moment determining whether to follow predecessor Tim Cook's path or chart a new direction for Apple.
