Apple’s iPhone Launch Roadmap leak reveals iPhone 17, 18, 19, Foldables release dates
Apple Supply chain analyst Ming Chi Kuo has shared a roadmap for iPhone device launch for the next three to four years including iPhone 17, iPhone 18, iPhone 19 and even foldable. Here’s what the analyst shared:
Second half of 2025:
- iPhone 17 Pro Max
- iPhone 17 Pro
- iPhone 17 Slim
- iPhone 17
First half of 2026
- iPhone 17e
Second half of 2026
- iPhone Foldable
- iPhone 18 Pro Max
- iPhone 18 Pro
- iPhone 18 Slim
First half of 2027:
- iPhone 18
- iPhone 18e
Second half of 2027
- iPhone Foldable 2 (already kicked off)
- iPhone 19 Pro Max
- iPhone 19 Pro
- iPhone 19 Slim (with a larger display vs. 18 Slim)
It’s confirmed that the company is picking up the first half launch dates due to increased competition and leaving this time of the year will give an edge to competitors in crucial markets such as China.
Furthermore, it could shift the base model from the iPhone 18 series to the next year to accompany the iPhone 18e. That would be a brand-new move from the company, and it may increase the offering for customers with new design tweaks and software, as well as reduced pricing.
A slim device is also on its way for this year’s launch, and it will be the first time when Apple will shift gear to introduce a a new product for customers.
This iPhone launch roadmap is not official, but plans and release dates might shift a bit due to the production and launch preparations.
