Apple is preparing its largest iPhone launch ever for 2027, with leaker Digital Chat Station revealing six new models across two release windows. The lineup includes updates to existing models plus what appears to be a significant redesign for the fall launch. According to the Weibo post, the early 2027 releases will be the iPhone Air 2, iPhone 18, and iPhone 18e.

The iPhone Air 2 and iPhone 18 both feature 1.5K displays with 120Hz LTPO OLED technology, while the iPhone 18e drops to 60Hz LTPS OLED without ProMotion support. These specifications match their predecessors, suggesting Apple is maintaining consistency rather than pushing major upgrades. The leak also mentions iPhone 19 Pro Series mold testing completion and iPhone Ultra 2 with wide foldable screen development.

Apple's strategy splits the launches: three models arriving by March 2027, followed by the anniversary redesigns in September. The memory crisis likely explains why the iPhone 18e won't see significant changes, as Apple aims to avoid price spikes. This staggered approach gives Apple flexibility to manage supply constraints while maintaining its release cadence.

The leak provides the most detailed look yet at Apple's 2027 roadmap, confirming expectations about foldable development and suggesting supply chain pressures are influencing design decisions across the lineup.
