News - Apple is reportedly working on seven new iPhones. Here's all we know.

Apple's iPhone lineup is about to get a lot more interesting. We already know about the iPhone Fold and the prospect of a 20th‑anniversary iPhone with an all‑screen design. Now The Information has published a detailed report about all the new iPhones Apple is working on, with some details we haven't seen elsewhere. Perhaps the most interesting aspect is the sheer breadth of the upcoming lineup. Apple added the iPhone Air to its lineup this year, bringing the total number of models to five: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air, alongside the entry‑level iPhone 16e which launched in February. Review: The new iPhone Air is the sexiest iPhone I've ever tested. Now Apple reportedly has seven variants in the works: iPhone 17e (and its successor, the iPhone 18e), iPhone 18, iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, iPhone Air 2, iPhone Fold, and iPhone 20. Incremental upgrades for the base models. The Camera Control button might actually lose some functionality on the iPhone 18. The Information's report sheds light on each model. The iPhone 17e will be an incremental upgrade to the iPhone 16e, but it will have magnetic wireless charging which was missing from the older model. It's unclear why the iPhone 18e is mentioned separately, as the report doesn't provide new details about it. Then there's the base upcoming iPhone model, the iPhone 18. It will reportedly be announced in the spring for the first time, marking a major shift from Apple's traditional September launch. As for features, the only thing mentioned is a de facto downgrade, with haptic feedback and touch sensing being removed from the camera capture button to save costs. According to the report, the iPhone Air 2, which is launching in the spring of 2027 (meaning next year will be completely iPhone Air without other models), will be significantly redesigned, perhaps with a second camera and a lower price. The piece also discusses whether there will be no Dynamic Island on the Pro models and whether Apple will eliminate it on the iPhone 18 Pro or simply shrink it. The flagship iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected in the fall of next year, with key improvements including an under‑display Face ID sensor and a move to eliminate the Dynamic Island. The display may not be completely uninterrupted, as the selfie camera is reportedly relocated to the top left of the display. While some view the Dynamic Island as unsightly, Apple has worked hard to turn the camera cutout into a useful feature; it would be odd to abandon it in favor of a plain punch‑hole camera. This part of the report also conflicts with an earlier Bloomberg report that claimed Apple would merely shrink the Dynamic Island, with plans to remove it later. At least one of the rear cameras on the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max is reportedly getting a mechanical aperture, and there will be a new image sensor that can capture more light at night. Finally, an improved chip design could make the phone faster in AI tasks. The next tier of flagships would be the new, larger lineup. Apple's foldable iPhone might have a different design from most modern foldables. The foldable iPhone Fold is reportedly coming in fall 2026, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. It is said to have a 5.3-inch display when folded and a 7.7-inch landscape‑oriented display when unfolded. In contrast to Samsung and Google’s portrait‑oriented main displays, the iPhone Fold would have a single selfie camera and sensors embedded in the top‑left corner of the display. It's worth noting that a 5.3‑inch folded display is tiny by today’s standards, given that Apple’s most recent “small” iPhone, the iPhone mini 13, had a 5.4‑inch display. The report also says the Fold’s design is incredibly complex and that Apple is being particularly secretive, meaning the reports we’ve seen may have some details wrong. For example, The Information claims that the screen sizes for the iPhone Fold could change—something that seems unlikely if the device is due to launch in less than a year. Finally, the crown jewel of Apple’s iPhone lineup could be the iPhone 20 (we’re not sure of the exact name, but it would launch to coincide with the iPhone’s 20th anniversary) in fall 2027. It would reportedly have a curved glass enclosure on the front and back and around all four edges, meaning there might not be a traditional bezel. Instead, it would feature a narrow metal band running around the midpoint of the device’s edge for the buttons. The iPhone 20 would also place all sensors and the front camera under the display, making it Apple’s first fully edge‑to‑edge iPhone.
