iPhone 18 may launch in two waves, starting with Pro models

The technique used by Apple to roll out its next iPhones may change. Reports indicate that the first iPhones to be available could be the iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone 18 Pro Max, though the regular iPhone 18 and the iPhone 18 Plus may appear weeks after them. This is the first time Apple will launch its phones separately for each model type, not only because of delays.

This might enable Apple to gain certain benefits. By doing this, the company would have the freedom to dedicate all its actions to the Pro parts. Having the Pro versions hit the market early can attract more buyers and sustain the hype for the game. Later, Apple can feature the regular models while not overlooking the Pro series.

Some experts feel that the plan could assist Apple with handling its supply chain. When some parts are difficult to find, this could encourage Apple to push back the release of its usual models. It may also ease the pressure so that stores and factories aren’t all crowded at the same time.

For now, we only have rumors, but Apple did release its phones in waves before which usually happened because of delays in manufacturing. Unlike other times, Apple can now think about this from the beginning and if it succeeds, they could repeat it.
