During Pegatron's Q2 2026 earnings conference call, it was subtly revealed that Apple plans to modify the shipment timeline for its iPhone lineup. Specifically, this coming September, Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the innovative foldable iPhone Ultra. Meanwhile, the standard variants—namely the iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and iPhone Air 2—will see their release dates postponed until March 2027. By the close of March 2027, Apple is anticipated to introduce a total of six new iPhone models to the market. Notably, whispers and speculations regarding this staggered release approach have circulated widely in the past, with Largan Precision also subtly alluding to similar developments in the pipeline.
