ISLAMABAD: Apple fans have reason to celebrate because reports indicate that both the iPhone 18 Pro and the foldable iPhone will be released in September.
Earlier reports indicated that Apple would release the iPhone 18 lineup in two phases because the Pro models would be available first while the base model would be delayed until the following year. A new report now indicates that the foldable iPhone will release together with the iPhone 18 Pro models.
According to a post on Weibo, production of the foldable iPhone display is expected to begin on a large scale in July. This timing aligns with display production for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
Apple’s product cycle suggests that mass production in July supports a launch window in early September. If everything goes according to plan, Apple could unveil the first foldable flagship iPhone along with the iPhone 18 Pro lineup this fall.
Budget-friendly iPhone 17 E coming soon
Meanwhile, Apple is also anticipated to release the cost-effective iPhone design for the year 2026, the iPhone 17 E, perhaps in February this year.
Bloomberg reported that the new iPhone 17 E may be launched on February 19. The phone will replace the previous year’s model, which was the iPhone 16 E. As Bloomberg reported, it seems that the phone will maintain the price, which was $599 when the iPhone 16 E was launched.
However, given the previous concerns about the scarcity of RAM chip supply, the price is not expected to fluctuate. The new Apple iPhone 17 E is expected to look similar to the iPhone 16 E; however, it differs only due to the new A19 processor and MagSafe feature.
This means that iPhone 17 E is not a major update. Therefore, it is easy to explain why the price has remained the same.
Speculation surrounds the fact that, as of now, the official announcement of the Apple company regarding the launch of the iPhone 17 E is on the 19th of February.
