Where it stands
The first indication of a shift in Apple's release schedule came from Forbes, which noted that the iPhone 18 Pro event date had been moved. Later reporting from TechRepublic and GSMArena.com suggested that Apple might delay the iPhone 18 until 2027, skipping this year's launch entirely. MacRumors initially stated that Apple would skip the iPhone 18 launch this year, but later coverage from the same outlet focused on the timing of the next Apple event.
The iPhone 18 line is anticipated to feature significant changes. Creative Bloq described the lineup as a radical departure. 9to5mac.com added that the iPhone 18 could include two new Pro-level upgrades. The current state of affairs is that Apple has shifted the key release schedule date for the iPhone 18 Pro event.
However, there is no consensus among outlets about whether the iPhone 18 will launch this year or be delayed until 2027.
