Apple is widely expected to make a big change to its iPhone lineup next year. The iPhone 17 series should still include four phones, but the Plus model is going away. Replacing the Plus is an ultra-slim iPhone that should have around the same size screen as the Plus. We’ve been calling it the iPhone 17 Air. While the name would fit the new form factor, it’s not official.
Apple is said to be considering making all its products thinner, not just the iPhone. We saw this happen with the M4 iPad Pro and Apple Watch Series 10 earlier this year. The iPhone 17 Air should follow next year. Thinner MacBooks are reportedly also in the works.
The newest iPhone 17 Air tidbit comes from well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. He said the iPhone 17 Air will be one of the two drivers of iPhone sales growth next year. The other? A more mature Apple Intelligence software package that helps Apple’s AI catch up to rivals.
