Ming-Chi Kuo has introduced its forecasts for the iPhone launch cycle for the next two years, including some larger shakups compared to how Apple Pale has done so far.
Starting this year, things are expected to grow more or less as expected. These include standard iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max, as well as highly rumor iPhone 17 Air (or slim, because it likes to Call it). There is no real surprise here, or the fact that the iPhone 17E is expected to start in the first half of 2026.
It is in 2026 where interesting things will begin, according to the Kuu. First, in the second half of the year, as always, Apple Pal will launch the foldable iPhone, which has been in the rumor mill for a while, but we have not yet seen any concrete evidence. Launching with the iPhone 18 Air with the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max.
If you think something was missing from the list, it was there. Standard iPhone 18 will not be apparently launched in the second half of 2026. Instead, it will be pushed to the first part of 2027, where it will start with the iPhone 18E. After that, Kuu expects the iPhone Foldable 2, iPhone 19 Pro/Pro Max and iPhone 19 Air (with larger performance compared to 18 air) as expected.
The well expects that the iPhone launch schedule of this Apple Pal will proceed. Their logic is that this semi -annual schedule will allow the Apple Pal to better compete with its competitors, especially in China, where most brands follow the same schedule. Rival Samsung has also won the same schedule for a while, starting standard flagships at the beginning of the year and foldables in the second half.
Ku also believes that the Apple Pal needs to be offered more than that currently in order to effectively compete. Moreover, it thinning all of the marketing efforts at one time, and makes individual models difficult to stay standing on others. This standard model can be seen outside.
To repeat, there are predictions from the cuis, there are no rumors based on confirmation or evidence. However, there is some logic in the logic of Kuo and may be very well accurate, depending on his track record.
