Analyst Kuo Lays Out Apple’s New Staggered iPhone Release Schedule

Well-connected Apple industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently provided what he says is Apple’s roadmap for future iPhone releases (as reported by MacRumors), which indicates Apple will follow a split-release schedule in the future.

Kup says future iPhone releases will follow this schedule:

  • 2H25: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Slim, iPhone 17
  • 1H26: iPhone 17e
  • 2H26: iPhone Foldable, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Slim
  • 1H27: iPhone 18, iPhone 18e
  • 2H27: iPhone Foldable 2 (already kicked off), iPhone 19 Pro Max, iPhone 19 Pro, iPhone 19 Slim (with a larger display vs. 18 Slim)

Kuo claims Apple will launch its first foldable iPhone in the second half of 2026, followed by a second-generation model in 2027, which will be the 20th anniversary of the iPhone.
