Last month, Apple launched the iPhone 17 series, including the slimmest iPhone Air, in the global market, including India. Every year in September, Apple has been progressively expanding its iPhone series with the number series. Now, a report has revealed that instead of launching the iPhone 19 in 2027, Apple will directly introduce the iPhone 20. Yes, the iPhone 19 will be skipped. Apple launched the first iPhone in 2007 and on its 20th anniversary in 2027, the next-generation flagship iPhone will be named the iPhone 20. Let us know about this plan of Apple in detail.
Omdia senior researcher Hee Moo Yeol stated at a conference that Apple will launch its devices twice a year. According to this plan, the iPhone 18e and iPhone 20 will be launched in the first half of 2027. The iPhone 20 Air, iPhone 20 Pro, iPhone 20 Pro Max, and iPhone Fold 2 will be launched in the second half.
Apple has long launched iPhones in September. A new report suggests a significant shift from its release pattern. Omdia believes Apple will phase out the standard iPhone models in the iPhone 18 series in 2026. During this period, the company will only introduce the iPhone Air, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the first foldable iPhone. This move is expected to reduce demand for iPhone displays by 20 million units in 2026. However, this will rebound in 2027 with the expansion of the iPhone 20 lineup.
It's worth noting that Apple has skipped similar iPhone names before. In 2017, the company introduced OLED displays with the iPhone X, marking the iPhone's 10th anniversary. At that time, the iPhone 9 name was also skipped. Now, with a similar shift in Apple's strategy, it's likely to skip the iPhone 19 and introduce the iPhone 20.
