Apple is planning a major shake‑up of its iPhone range in 2027. The company will introduce three standard models in the spring and two special models in the fall. Knowing the details can help you decide when to upgrade.

The spring lineup includes the iPhone 18, the iPhone 18e and the iPhone Air 2. Reports say the iPhone 18 will receive more RAM, an A20 chip, better thermal management and Apple’s in‑house C2 modem, with a starting price of $899. The 18e is aimed at a more affordable price and is also expected to use the A20 processor.

The iPhone Air 2 could add an ultrawide camera, a smaller Dynamic Island, the C2 modem and a roughly 3,500 mAh battery. These upgrades aim to fix the first Air’s camera and battery weaknesses.

In the fall, Apple may launch a redesigned 20th‑anniversary iPhone, often called the iPhone 20 Pro. Rumors describe a glass‑focused body, much thinner bezels and a tiny punch‑hole selfie camera combined with under‑display Face ID. At the same time, the second‑generation foldable iPhone Duo 2 is expected to use an A21 Pro chip, improve its camera system and possibly add Face ID, suggesting Apple sees foldables as a long‑term product line.

If you need a new phone soon, the iPhone 18 offers a solid upgrade at $899. If you can wait, the anniversary model and the Duo 2 promise more radical design changes and new features. Compare the specs and price points to choose the timing that fits your needs.
