看来苹果 iPhone 18 今年真的会错过秋季发布会
A supplier’s earnings call supports rumors that Apple will stick to launching high-end phones like the Pro series this fall. 一家供应商的财报电话会议证实了相关传闻：苹果今年秋季将坚持只发布 Pro 系列等高端机型。
According to an Economic Daily News report spotted by MacRumors, executives for Apple supplier Pegatron confirmed during an earnings call that the iPhone 18 Pro series phones will launch this fall, but the base iPhone 18 won’t arrive until the first quarter of next year. The more affordable iPhone 18e and a new iPhone Air are also rumored to launch around the same time, in line with rumors that have been circulating for more than a year. 据 MacRumors 发现的《经济日报》报道，苹果供应商和硕（Pegatron）的高管在财报电话会议上证实，iPhone 18 Pro 系列手机将于今年秋季发布，但标准版 iPhone 18 要到明年第一季度才会上市。传闻中价格更亲民的 iPhone 18e 和新款 iPhone Air 也预计在同一时间段发布，这与过去一年多来流传的传闻相吻合。
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and The Information both reported last year that Apple was planning to only launch its premium iPhones in fall 2026, and earlier this year another Apple supplier said one of its customers was postponing a phone launch to early 2027. 分析师郭明錤（Ming-Chi Kuo）和《The Information》去年都曾报道称，苹果计划在 2026 年秋季仅发布高端 iPhone 机型。今年早些时候，另一家苹果供应商也表示，其某位客户正在将一款手机的发布时间推迟到 2027 年初。
Along with the iPhone 18 Pro, Apple’s rumored “Ultra” foldable is reportedly launching this fall. The EDN report cites Pegatron execs saying that memory and chip shortages are causing the peak shipping seasons to shift, as its customers like Apple figure out how to spread out the parts they have and increasingly prioritize higher-priced models that have larger margins. 除了 iPhone 18 Pro，据传苹果的“Ultra”折叠屏手机也将于今年秋季发布。《经济日报》的报道援引和硕高管的话称，内存和芯片短缺导致了出货高峰期的转移，因为像苹果这样的客户正在设法分配现有的零部件，并日益优先考虑利润率更高的高价机型。
