Apple May Delay Some iPhone 18 Models Until 2027
Apple makes iPhones, which are very popular phones.
A new report says some of Apple's next iPhones might be late.
The next iPhone series is called the iPhone 18.
Fancy versions of the iPhone 18 might come out in September.
But the regular iPhone 18 and a cheaper one called the iPhone 18e might not come until 2027.
That is a long time to wait.
People have been guessing about this for a long time.
The report comes from a newspaper in Taiwan called the Economic Daily News.

Premium iPhone 18 devices are expected to launch in September, according to the report.
