Not out yet. Here is when we think it lands, and exactly why we think so.

Reveal

The day it is shown to the world

Rough idea · Somewhere in this season

27 September 2027

in about 12 months

Almost certainly between 5 September and 17 November 2027 — that is where eight out of ten of our guesses land.

Where it will almost certainly land Still possible, but unlikelyThe higher the shape, the more likely that date.
Where we started The time of year it usually lands This line keeps turning up in the same season, even if the gap between models moves around.
Reports behind it 15 separate stories Found across 18 articles. When several sites repeat the same leak, we count it once — otherwise one rumour would look like proof.
Since last time 1 day earlier Last changed on 5 Oct 2026. We recheck every day, and only write a new forecast down when this answer moves.

What the hardware is

2 of 20 headline specs known so far. Values from a spec database describe a phone that exists; values from articles are what sources claim about one that does not yet. Each row says which it is, and where sources contradict each other we print both figures rather than choosing.

2 specs are reported two different ways. Those rows are marked below.

display

Screen size
6.3" Sources disagree also reported as 6.4"

performance

Chipset
A21系列处理器 Sources disagree also reported as A21 Pro

Still unknown: panel type, refresh rate, resolution, ram, storage, main camera, front camera, rear cameras, battery, wired charging, height, width, thickness, weight, ingress protection, operating system, 5g, nfc.

Where you will be able to buy it

Probably worldwide Based on how this product line usually launches

Going on what this line normally does, not on anything said about this phone yet.

iPhone normally launches worldwide.

No report so far has named a specific country for this one. That is normal early on: the market is usually only spelled out close to launch.

How this date has moved
