No iPhone 18 launching next year and Apple may have good reasons for it

Behind the closed doors at Cupertino, Apple’s sales and marketing divisions are apparently planning a major overhaul of the iPhone launch timeline. Up until this year, Apple clubbed almost all of its annual iPhone releases in a single launch event, usually scheduled in September of every year, with the only exception being the iPhone SE/iPhone 16e launch reserved for March of every alternate year. Starting next year, there’s going to be a shake-up in the iPhone launch timeline.
