[Expired]No iPhone 18 This Year? Apple's Fall Lineup Overhauled
Original Deal
The iPhone 18 series, expected to launch officially in September, is set to undergo major changes. Due to product line adjustments, the iPhone 18 Pro will, for the first time, become Apple's "entry-level model" this year.
Fall 2026 Lineup Predictions
| Model Name | Expected Status |
| iPhone 18 Pro / Pro Max | Launching as usual, as the main September models |
| iPhone Ultra | Launching as usual, positioned for premium, high-end buyers |
| iPhone 18 Base Model | Expected to be delayed until early 2027 |
| iPhone Air 2 | Expected to be delayed until early 2027 |
With the base model "absent," those planning to upgrade this year will face a higher entry barrier. Shoppers looking for value may want to hold onto their current devices or consider discounted iPhone 17 and iPhone Air models instead.
- Apple Certified Refurbished products now offer around 15% off, a great fit for budget-conscious shoppers with immediate needs.
问大家
: My 14 Pro's battery is at 75%, and I'm debating whether to replace the battery and keep using it or upgrade to the 18 Pro. Honestly, has the user experience really improved from the 14 Pro to the 17 Pro? 14 pro 电池75% 了正在考虑是 换电池接用还是换18 pro。 讲真的从14 pro 到17 pro用户体验真的升级了吗?

: I was one of the first to get the iPhone X when it first launched, and honestly, it had severe overheating issues—easily the shortest-lived generation of iPhones. 当年iphone X 第一批上车,真是手机发烫严重,最短命的一代iphone了
: Folding isn't great — it depreciates badly. Will it lose too much value for trade-ins later? Ugh, so worried 😓😓😓😓😓 折叠不行的,用了折旧厉害,以后置换19会不会不值钱啊啊啊啊![[流汗]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_liuhan@2x.png?v=1)

: Liked the fold 喜欢折叠
: 好的,请提供需要翻译的内容。 折叠 坐等
: 真有折叠? 真有折叠?
: No way 😨 不会吧😨
: Why are the two budget-friendly versions being delayed? 俩便宜的为啥要延期发布?
: Why should the cheaper one be released together
便宜的凭啥一起发布
: I'm just waiting for Apple to finally support physical SIM cards!!! 我就等你苹果啥时候插卡!!!
: Guess we'll just have to wait until Mainland China supports eSIM. 还是等国内什么时候可以 esim吧
: It won't happen anymore. 不会有的了
: 等手上的iPhone 15电池不行了,我就换回摩托罗拉。现在的苹果每年涨的只有价格,性能却没跟上,没有理由继续用了。 等到手上的15电池不行了就换回摩托罗拉了,现在的苹果每年涨的只有价格没有性能,没有理由继续了
: Just one thing — don't believe any rumors from any channel until the launch event. Buying a phone nowadays is all about practicality, after all, we've all passed the age of showing off with our phones. 就一条,不到发布会 不要相信任何渠道的小道消息,现在买手机都是实用为主,毕竟我们都过了 用手机来炫耀的年纪
: You'd better protect your phone well. Phones are way too expensive now, and there's really no need to upgrade—the phone you're holding already has more performance than you actually need. 建议保护好你的手机,现在手机真的太贵了,而且真的没必要升级,你手上的手机都是性能过剩的。
: Honestly, there's really no need to upgrade. Even after five or six years, it's just the battery that's worn out—there are still plenty of features I never use. 确实没啥必要换新 就算用了五六年也是电池不耐用了而已 依然好多功能都用不上
: Is it possible that even with full utilization, a phone might not last 3-5 years? Precisely because performance is more than sufficient, after 3-5 years of use, aside from battery degradation, everything else holds up fine. If you're only using it for calls, WeChat chats, and the like—treating it as a "basic phone"—it could easily last 8-10 years without issues. 有没有一种可能,如果物尽其用,可能3-5年都坚持不了。正因为性能过剩,用到3-5年,除了电池不行,其他的还好。如果只是用了讲电话,微信聊天什么的,当“老人机”用,十年八年都没问题。
: My iPhone 12's battery is already at 79%, and I was planning to upgrade to the 18 Pro, but didn't expect hardware costs to rise this year... I'll wait for the launch event to decide whether to get a new phone or just replace the battery. 我的12电池已经79%了,打算换18 pro没想到今年遇上硬件成本上涨…等发布会决定换机还是换电池
: My 13 Pro Max is at 78% battery health
我的13promax 78
: When traveling to China, just swap in a new battery and it's more than enough. Mine is also the 12 base version. 去中国旅游的时候换块电池就行,足够用。我的也是 12 基础版
: Every year I wait for a new model with a card slot
年年等有插卡的新机
: Samsung. Motorola. 三星。摩托罗拉。
回复 @上官楚倩 : I've used them before and didn't like them. Thanks anyway. 以前都用过,不喜欢,谢谢啊
: Apple is planning to raise prices this time, possibly by 200-300. 这次苹果要准备涨价.可能涨200-300
