Apple may launch iPhone 18, iPhone 18e and iPhone Air 2 in March 2027

Apple may launch three iPhone models in March 2027. Apple plans a launch event, for Apple’s standard and more affordable smartphone lineup. Leaks and reports say Apple is set to reveal Apple iPhone 18 Apple iPhone 18e and Apple second‑generation iPhone Air next year.

Apple is not following its September launch plan. Apple is keeping its Pro models and iPhone Duo separate this year. The rest of the models might appear in the spring launch window. March looks like the likely month.

Apple has not said anything for sure yet. Early reports give us a hint, at what the new devices might offer.

iPhone 18: Expected specifications and features

The standard iPhone 18 is expected to come with a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display. It will have a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate. Apple might also make the screen brighter. Make the bezels thinner. The phone may still use the current Dynamic Island. It will not switch to the cutout that is expected on the Pro models.

Battery capacity could see an improvement. Tipster Fixed Focus Digital previously claimed that the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e could pack a 4,430mAh battery compared with the iPhone 17s 3,692mAh unit. Apple may also redesign the components and remove the physical SIM tray, in selected markets to make additional room.

Performance could be another upgrade. I think the iPhone 18 will run on Apple’s A20 chipset, which is said to be made with TSMC’s 2‑nanometre process. That processor might give performance and, up to 30 percent better power efficiency than the A19. The iPhone 18 could have RAM options of 9GB or 12GB and storage might begin at 256GB and rise to 512GB.

For photography Apple is expected to keep two 48-megapixel cameras.. Reports are different, about the front camera. The front camera could have either an 18-megapixel sensor or a 24-megapixel sensor. Other things that are expected to be added include a Camera Control button. The phone will also have IP68 protection. The phone will run iOS 27. The software might also include a Siri. This Siri will use Google's Gemini technology.

iPhone 18e: What could change?

The iPhone 18e is expected to focus on performance rather than, on looks. The biggest improvement might be the A20 processor. This could be the chip used in the regular iPhone 18.

The device could still have a 6.1-inch OLED display. A leaked Weibo diagram suggests there might be a 6.3-inch panel instead. The refresh rate is likely to stay at 60Hz. That means ProMotion probably won't be included.

Apple may keep a 48‑megapixel rear camera and raise the front camera to 24 megapixels. Apple could also give the phone either 8GB or 9GB of RAM a C2 modem and the same 4,430‑mAh battery that is expected for the iPhone 18.

People are still unsure, about the display design. Some reports say the notch will stay, while others say Apple could finally add Dynamic Island to the affordable e‑series lineup.

iPhone Air 2: Expected upgrades

The iPhone Air 2 might get obvious changes, to the camera. Stories say Apple could put another 48-megapixel -wide camera on the iPhone Air 2. Also, the iPhone Air 2 could have battery life and a smaller Dynamic Island.

The phone will keep its display and titanium construction. The phone will also feature the A20 Pro chip and 12GB of RAM. The phone will have an 18‑megapixel front camera. Apple could make the device 0.4 mm thinner even as the battery is expected to improve.

Expected prices in India

The upcoming models might come with price tags, in India. The iPhone 18 could start at Rs 99,900. The iPhone 18e might begin at Rs 79,900. The iPhone Air 2 may keep the updated starting price of Rs 1,49,900.

However, these prices and specifications are based completely on reports and leaks. Apple has not officially confirmed the three smartphones or their launch timeline. More details are expected to come out as the reported March 2027 launch gets closer.
