News India Live, Digital Desk: If you are a fan of Apple and eagerly wait for the month of September every year, then we have a shocking news for you. Till now we have seen that every year in September, Apple launches its entire new series (Base Model, Plus, Pro and Pro Max) together. A big event takes place and the eyes of the whole world are on it.
But according to the latest leaks This 17 year old tradition is going to be broken in 2026.
Reports suggest that those waiting for the iPhone 18 may have to be patient a little longer, especially those who prefer to buy the ‘non-Pro’ or standard model.
What is the full news? (The Big Twist)
According to the latest media reports and leaks, Apple is planning to launch its “iPhone 18 series” in a piecemeal manner in 2026.
- What will come in September 2026? During this time only premium models i.e. iPhone 18 Pro And iPhone 18 Pro Max Expected to be launched.
- Where did the base model go? Yes, the news is that standard iPhone 18 The model will be missing from the September rush. For this you Early 2027 (Spring 2027) May have to wait till.
Why is the company doing this? (Know the real reason)
This will be the first time that the base model will not come with its bigger brothers (Pro Models). Apple is believed to have a very smart strategy behind this.
Grand entry of ‘Foldable Phone’!
The market is hot with news that Apple will launch its first foldable phone (Folding iPhone / Clamshell Style) can be presented to the world. The company wants the entire focus of the event to be on this ‘revolutionary’ phone and expensive Pro models.
If a cheaper (base) model is also launched at the same time, then people’s attention may get diverted and the ‘hype’ of the foldable phone may be reduced. So Apple is probably deciding—”premium things in September, and budget things early next year.”
Will it be launched like iPhone SE?
Just as we currently see a separate spring (March-April) event for the iPhone SE, in the future we may also see the base models in the early months of the year. This means that Apple is now in the mood to ‘bang’ not once, but twice a year.
So what should buyers do now?
If you were thinking of buying a new phone in 2026, then you will have only two options left, either empty your pocket and buy an expensive ‘Pro model’ or wait for a ‘foldable phone’. Those with a budget iPhone will have to learn to be a little more patient.
However, the iPhone 17 (which is rumored to be an ‘Air’ or ‘Slim’ model) is yet to arrive in 2025, which will probably follow the same old pattern. But 2026 will definitely be a year of changes.
