Apple’s iPhone Plans Leaked: Foldable iPhone & iPhone Air 2 Details Emerge
A newly leaked Apple roadmap reveals key details about the company’s future iPhone lineup, including specifications for a long-rumored foldable iPhone and the upcoming iPhone Air 2. The details, reported by several sources including MacPPro and 9to5Mac, outlines Apple’s plans thru 2027, offering a glimpse into the evolution of its smartphone strategy.
This leak arrives as Apple navigates a challenging smartphone market, with recent reports indicating slower-than-expected sales for the iPhone Air. The roadmap suggests Apple remains committed to the Air model, despite initial performance, and is simultaneously pushing forward with more enterprising projects like a foldable device – a form factor gaining traction with competitors like Samsung.
According to the leaked plans, the iPhone Air 2, slated for release in 2024, will largely maintain the same 48MP single-lens rear camera system as the original iPhone Air. This decision is reportedly influenced by the phone’s slim design, which limits the space available for more advanced camera technology. Further generations of the iPhone air are also expected to follow this camera configuration.
The roadmap also details Apple’s plans for its flagship devices. The iPhone 16 series, expected in late 2024, will include the iPhone 16 Plus. Notably, the leak confirms a previously rumored delay for the iPhone 18 launch. The iPhone 18e is now projected to arrive in 2027, while other iPhone 18 models will launch in September 2026.
Perhaps the most anticipated detail is the confirmation of Apple’s foldable iPhone.While specific launch dates remain unclear, the roadmap indicates ongoing development.The device is expected to feature a larger display and potentially introduce new software features optimized for the foldable form factor.
