iPhone 18 Launch Date India: The upcoming launch of the next iPhone series from Apple will mark a departure from its established trend. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will definitely take center stage during the launch that is scheduled for September 9, 2026, but the regular version of the iPhone 18 will come out much later. Thus, the Pro series of iPhones will certainly be more popular among Indians, although it remains to be seen whether this is the right name.
