On Thursday, we discussed some fun WWDC rumors. Today, we’ve got a slightly less fun rumor via MacRumors, which reports that an Apple leaker has claimed that the base model iPhone 18 will feature certain hardware downgrades implemented as cost-cutting measures. MacRumors also alleges that the base-model iPhone 18 launch will be delayed until Spring 2027, with the usual fall Apple announcement introducing only the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and the rumored iPhone Fold.
