The 2027 iPhone lineup is expected to comprise 5 models: the standard 18, 18e and Air 2 in spring, followed by the 20 Pro and Duo 2 in autumn. Indicative Japanese retail prices have also been reported.
In the 2027 iPhone lineup compiled by 9to5Mac, 3 models—the standard iPhone 18, 18e and thin Air 2—are expected in spring, followed in autumn by the iPhone 20 Pro, marking the 20th anniversary, and the foldable Duo 2. Price forecasts for the spring models are based on current Japanese prices.
For the spring models, the iPhone 18 may be announced in March, while some reports suggest that the 18e and Air 2 will arrive at the same time. A table lists current Japanese prices of ¥159,800 for the iPhone 17, ¥124,800 for the 17e and ¥189,800 for the Air. Although spring pricing remains uncertain, many forecasts are considered consistent with the current price range.
The autumn iPhone 20 Pro is expected to feature major design changes, while the Duo 2 is reportedly likely to use third-generation-or-later Face ID. The Duo is not expected to ship before around 2028, meaning the timing for replacing current models will vary.
Which current model users should wait for is said to depend on the model they currently have. Since spring and autumn shipping dates differ by model, the decision will depend on each individual's circumstances, the report said.
The first clue will be when the spring iPhone 18 is announced, with attention focused on whether it will launch in March as suggested by Chinese leaks. Japanese prices for the spring and autumn models will also be affected by exchange-rate trends and are expected to change depending on future reports.
