Apple is breaking a nearly two decade long tradition

Apple is breaking a nearly two decade long tradition. And they are splitting the release of the regular and the Pro models into two parts of 2026, will be getting the Pro and fold models as we'd expect, but you'll have six months or so until Apple drops this base iPhone 18, as the iPhone Air 2. And while usually waiting for that new iPhone would be worth it, the base iPhone 18 is sounding underwhelming. Sources say the base iPhone 18 will have an identical design to the current iPhone 17 with some dimensional, potentially larger battery. The screen will still remain at 6.3 inches, 120Hz Pro motion, and there some minor camera upgrades, but nearly everything else identical. Rumors say Apple will add the smaller dynamic island to the base model, but other rumors say they won't and it's the same size. There will be internally the A20 chip, Apple's new C2 and the N2, but really from outside this is the iPhone ever. Apple has special the base iPhone 18, not hold my breath.
