Listen to the story

Apple may not release all new iPhone 18 models at the same time in September, according to a recent report. Instead, the company is expected to start with the Pro version.

The iPhone 18 Pro is still expected to launch in September, but with limited availability. This means fewer units will be ready for customers at first, so buyers may face waiting times or shortages.

A separate report has focused on the phone's hardware. It suggests that Apple will increase the amount of RAM, the part of a phone that helps it run apps quickly and smoothly.

This upgrade could also affect the iPhone 18's price. More RAM often costs more to produce, and some reports suggest this could push prices higher than previous models.

So far, Apple has not confirmed any of these details officially. All information currently comes from reports and rumors, which are common before a major Apple release.

Fans and tech experts are used to this pattern each year. They usually wait for Apple's own announcement, typically held in September, before treating any details as certain.

Until Apple makes an official statement, the exact release date, price and full specifications of the iPhone 18 lineup remain unclear.
