The upcoming iPhone 16 series production has begun, but rumors about the 2025 iPhone 17 series are already circulating. Analysts, including Mark Gurman, are speculating about a slimmer version of the iPhone, which could be an "iPhone Air" instead of the previously rumored "iPhone Slim." This new model is expected to have a completely new design, which will set it apart from the current iPhone Pro models, and may feature a single-lensed camera.

Key Takeaways:

  • Apple is rumored to be working on a slimmer and lighter version of the iPhone, which could be an "iPhone Air" instead of "iPhone Slim."
  • The new iPhone design will be completely new and set it apart from the current iPhone Pro models.
  • The iPhone Air model is expected to be placed between the vanilla iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro.
  • The iPhone Air will feature a performance, camera, screen size, and other features similar to the Pro models, but with a cooler design than a standard iPhone model.
  • The move to introduce a mid-tier smartphone that falls between iPhone and iPhone Pro models has been going on for years, with the concept first appearing with the iPhone 12 Mini.
