Apple is reportedly working on 7 new iPhones. Here's all we know.

Apple's iPhone lineup is about to get a lot more interesting.

Yes, we already know about the iPhone Fold, as well as the prospect of an upcoming "20th anniversary iPhone" with an all-screen design. Now, however, The Information has a detailed report about all of the new iPhones Apple is working on, with some details we haven't seen elsewhere.

Perhaps the most interesting is the sheer breadth of the upcoming iPhone lineup. The company added the iPhone Air to its lineup this year, increasing the number of the models it sells to five: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air, alongside the entry-level iPhone 16e which launched in February.

Now, Apple reportedly has a total of seven iPhone 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 Information's report sheds some 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 painfully absent from the older model. It's unclear why the iPhone 18e is mentioned separately, as the report doesn't have any 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 massive change from Apple's traditional September iPhone launch. As for new features, the only thing that's mentioned is actually a downgrade of sorts, 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-less), will be significantly redesigned, with (perhaps) a second camera, and a lower price.

No Dynamic Island on the Pro models?

The flagship iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models are coming, as always, in the fall of next year. Key improvements include an under-display FaceID sensor, fully eliminating the Dynamic Island. The display won't be fully uninterrupted, as the selfie camera will reportedly be relocated to the top left of the display.

While the report calls the Dynamic Island "unsightly," Apple put in significant effort in turning what is essentially a camera cutout into a useful feature; it would be odd for the company to simply abandon it in favor of a pedestrian punch-hole camera cutout. This part of the report is also in conflict with an earlier Bloomberg report, claiming Apple will merely reduce the size of the Dynamic Island in the near future, with the plan to fully eliminate 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 new, new flagships

The most interesting bit in the report is the part that deals with the entirely new iPhone flagships, which could actually sit above the Pro models in Apple's iPhone hierarchy.

First, there's the foldable iPhone Fold, which is reportedly coming the fall of 2026, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. It's said to have a 5.3-inch display when folded and a 7.7-inch, landscape-oriented display when unfolded. In contrast, Samsung and Google's foldable phones are portrait-oriented main display. The iPhone Fold will reportedly have a single selfie camera, as well as sensors, embedded in the top-left corner of the display.

It's worth noting that a 5.3-inch 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 design of the iPhone Fold is incredibly complex and that Apple is being "particularly secretive" about it, meaning the reports we've seen (including this one) may have gotten some details wrong. For example, The Information claims that the screen sizes for the iPhone Fold could change — something that seems unlikely to us if the device is about to launch in less than a year's time.

Finally, the crown jewel of Apple's iPhone lineup could be the iPhone 20 (we're not sure about the name, but it would be timed to launch at the 20th anniversary of the iPhone), launching in the fall of 2027. It will reportedly have a curved glass enclosure both on the front and back and along all four edges, meaning it might not have a typical frame that's typical on today's phones. Instead, it would have a "narrow metal band running around the midpoint of the device's edge, where the buttons sit."

The iPhone 20 will also reportedly have all the sensors and the front camera under the display, which would make this the first iPhone with a fully edge-to-edge display.
