He also expects the iPhone Air 2 in the same window. The remarks match his earlier reporting on launch timing, so this is a reporter restating a previous claim, not a new leak. It is also an account of Apple's plans, not an Apple announcement.\n\nThe timing is the interesting part. Apple has traditionally released its standard iPhone in the fall alongside the Pro models, and the \"e\" phones have been the exception. A spring slot that holds the 18, the 18e and the Air 2 would put three phones in one window and leave the fall calendar looking different from the one buyers know.\n\nGurman did not say what happens to the Pro models, which is the obvious gap. He also gave no pricing, and \"A20\" on its own says little without specifications for memory, cameras or battery. Running the same chip family across the 18 and 18e would at least point to a narrower gap between the standard and budget phones, though that is an inference, not something he said.\n\nThe open question is what Apple puts in the fall slot if the cheaper and thinner models move to spring. A split cycle could spread out sales and give each phone its own launch moment. It could also leave one half of the year crowded and the other thin.","[\"apple\",\"iphone\",\"rumors\",\"a20\"]","2026-11-13T14:37:16.000Z","2026-11-13T20:00:28.753Z","2026-11-13T20:01:22.119Z","published",null,[24],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Remove the process artifacts ('Nothing in the source says what happens to the Pro models' and 'The material gives no word on pricing...').
