Should I buy iPhone 17 or continue waiting for iPhone 18?

Apple recently officially launched the iPhone 17, including the super-thin Air version and Pro models with many familiar features.

The question is whether it is necessary to upgrade to the iPhone 17, especially when there is a lot of information about the iPhone 18 products and the foldable iPhone that Apple is expected to launch next year.

Details about the foldable iPhone

According to sources, Apple is developing the first foldable iPhone, which is expected to launch in the fall of 2026, tentatively called the iPhone Fold. The phone is said to have a 5.5-inch outer screen and a 7.8-inch inner screen, along with under-screen camera technology. However, users should note that the first generation product is often plagued with problems and may not be a good choice if they intend to keep the device for a long time.

Improvements on iPhone 18 Pro

The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max are expected to launch in September 2026 with notable upgrades such as an additional telephoto camera, a faster chip, and an under-screen Face ID system. Apple may completely remove the front sensor, thereby creating a larger screen. In addition, the camera system will also be improved with a variable aperture to improve image quality.

New launch strategy

One notable change is that Apple may adopt a split launch strategy, with the base iPhone 18 model expected to launch in early 2027. This would allow the company to differentiate between the premium and base models, while also giving users more time to use their current model.

Should I buy iPhone 17?

Ultimately, the most important question is whether you really need an iPhone 17. If you have an older iPhone and are experiencing issues like poor performance or poor battery life, an upgrade may be in order. However, if your device is still performing well, waiting could mean more improvements down the road.
