Apple is gearing up for one of the biggest overhauls in its iPhone history. According to research firm Omdia<\/strong>, the company could skip the \u2018iPhone 19\u2019<\/strong> branding altogether and move straight to the \u2018iPhone 20\u2019<\/strong> lineup to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iPhone in 2027. The move recalls Apple\u2019s 2017 strategy, when it bypassed the iPhone 9 and launched the iPhone X to mark a major milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expected 2027 Portfolio: From iPhone 18e to Foldables<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Omdia\u2019s senior researcher Heo Moo-yeol<\/strong> revealed that Apple may release the iPhone 18e and iPhone 18<\/strong><\/a> in the first half of 2027<\/strong>, followed by a second round featuring the iPhone Air, iPhone 20 Pro, iPhone 20 Pro Max<\/strong>, and next-generation foldable models<\/strong> in the latter half. The introduction of foldables will mark Apple\u2019s entry into the flexible-display smartphone segment, an area currently dominated by Samsung and Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple\u2019s New Launch Cycle: Twice a Year<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Industry expert Ming-Chi Kuo<\/strong> predicts that Apple will shift from its single annual launch to a biannual schedule<\/strong>. This strategy would sustain sales momentum throughout the year and reduce the company\u2019s reliance on its September event. To prepare for this shift, Apple is expected to cut iPhone panel orders by nearly 20 million units in 2026<\/strong>, allowing time for retooling before foldable production ramps up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPhone 18 to Miss the 2026 September Launch<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As per a report by ETNews<\/strong>, the iPhone 17 series<\/strong> will be the last to follow Apple\u2019s traditional fall release pattern. The iPhone 18<\/strong> lineup may launch separately in 2027, signaling a new marketing rhythm that differentiates between mainstream and flagship models. This staggered approach could help Apple spread out demand and streamline production cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What It Means for Consumers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While some users may face longer wait times between releases, others will enjoy earlier access to innovations like folding displays and redesigned form factors<\/strong>. The potential rebranding and dual-launch strategy could spark massive excitement ahead of Apple\u2019s 20th iPhone anniversary<\/strong>, reinforcing the brand\u2019s dominance in the premium smartphone market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
