The dummies claiming to be the new iPhones are getting more detailed and the latest one has thrown up a puzzling design change.

Due to Apple’s reported change of release plans, the standard iPhone 18 may not be available until spring 2027.

The rumor aligns with a report from The Information over the weekend saying Apple may begin to stagger releasing new iPhones. That would see high-end versions of the iPhone 18 – including the Pro, Air, and a rumored foldable iPhone – introduced in the fall, before the cheaper standard model and budget “e” version launch in the spring of 2027.
