Apple's next i Phone release could be built on shifting sands even as we get closer to the fall, when its new phones are traditionally announced. The i Phone 17 series impressed us with its surprisingly feature-packed base model, the incredibly slender i Phone Air, the boldly redesigned i Phone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max and the entry-level i Phone 17E. We're hoping the i Phone 18 lineup will surprise us, too.
The company is only a year or so away from the 20th anniversary of the original i Phone's launch. While the company sells more phones in the US than rival Android phones, Apple is consistently behind Samsung in global sales and just ahead of Chinese phone makers like Xiaomi. A lot is at stake for Apple with the next iPhone, including building interest in a possible foldable device, such as the rumored iPhone Fold.
Already, some of the hottest rumors include Dynamic Island shrinking, along with the possibility that the iPhone 18 and 18 Pro will have the same RAM as the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. Also, word is that Apple could split the launch of its iPhone 18 lineup, with the premium models coming out this year and more entry-level models releasing next year. Here's a look at all the rumors and leaks we've uncovered about the potential iPhone 18 series.
