While everyone is waiting for the official release of the iPhone 16 series This fall, rumors about iPhone models for 2025 are already circulating. According to the information, the next model will be an iPhone Air.
If Apple’s previous phone series are taken into account, the company is expected to release the iPhone 17 models in 2025. However, the giant may be about to make a big change to its phone lineup. Jon Prosser of Front Page Tech claims that it is planning to release a much thinner iPhone called the iPhone Air.
Is Apple About to Abandon High-End Phone Models?
Prosser published a 12 minute YouTube videoin which he explains that Apple could change the iPhone 17 model range and slip in a new device with a new name. His statement is particularly interesting because it is a revelation that is completely contradictory to previous rumors.
Actually, The iPhone Air will not be a high-end model. He believes it will be a device priced in the same range as the iPhone 15 Plus model. The base price of these models is $899.
Sure, it can’t be called cheap, but it’s not as expensive as the iPhone Pro Max models, which have an average price of $1,199.
Will the iPhone Air model replace the iPhone 17 Plus model?
Prosser’s video also addresses other rumors surrounding the iPhone Air model. Indeed, this new line of devices could be plus fine. It will also be a device featuring a redesigned camera.
Furthermore, he still mentions conflicting rumors that it will cost $1,299, which he does not find very plausible. In fact, Prosser believes that this new model is supposed to replace the iPhone 17 Plus. Which will certainly make this device a larger, more practical, yet portable model.
This could confirm rumors that Apple is considering dropping the Plus model from the iPhone lineup altogether in favor of the iPhone Air model. Furthermore, the device will be equipped withan A19 chip instead of an A19 Pro chip top of the line.
The technical sheets of this new iPhone model
Note that everything about this device is just speculation at the moment. However, here are what the technical details of the iPhone Air could be.
Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests in previous rumors that the name of this device could be l’iPhone 17 Slim and that he could measure 6.6 inches diagonal. So, it would be bigger than the iPhone 17, but smaller than the iPhone 17 Plus. It could have a resolution of2740 x 1260 screenwith a Dynamic Island.
For its part, Ice Universe thinks that iPhone 17 Slim or Ultra could cost $1,299, with a 6.65 inch LTPO display. He also confirms in a Tweet the A19 chip, a dual-array rear camera and 8GB of RAM.
This gives more credence to Prosser’s speculation that this model will be cheaper and replace the iPhone 17 Plus.
