Apple’s next big iPhone rumor cycle is heating up as early display supply chain signals hint at a major iPhone 18 refresh. The most repeated iPhone rumor right now is simple: Apple plans to push 120 Hz LTPO OLED screens across more models, not just the Pro lineup.
This iPhone rumor also points to a new release approach. Apple may launch premium phones first in fall 2026, then hold the standard iPhone 18 and a lower cost variant for spring 2027, separating flagship and budget announcements across the year.
