iPhone 17

We heard back in July that Apple chipmaker TSMC was running ahead of schedule on trial production of 2nm chips expected to debut in next year’s iPhone 17 – and a new report reiterates this.

However, it highlights the challenges involved with this ultra-small process, and says that TSMC cannot manage it without help …

Apple just announced the brand new iPhone 16 and 16 Pro lineup. Pre-orders are almost open, which means now is the time to make a buying decision. Should you upgrade, or wait another year? Let me provide three reasons for waiting until next year’s iPhone 17 Air arrives.

iPhone 16 season is just around the corner, but supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo already has his eyes on the iPhone 17 cycle. The researcher’s latest details how the iPhone 17 Pro Max next fall will outperform the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup, including the iPhone 17 Pro, when next year’s models debut. AI, of course, is the reason behind the extra punch behind the late 2025 Pro Max model.

Suggestions that Apple plans to launch an iPhone 17 Slim or iPhone 17 Air are gaining ground, with most reports now pointing to a compromise device.

One big compromise we might see is for Apple to limit the model to a single camera – but there may be a creative solution to this problem, which could give us the equivalent of an entire camera bag full of lenses right there in our pocket …

Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup will be weird. We’re just weeks away from the iPhone 16 launch, but it’s 2025’s models at the center of lots of rumors. Specifically, the ultra-slim ‘Air’ model stands to shake up the iPhone 17 lineup. Here’s why next year’s innovative iPhone Air won’t be the best model, but it will be the future.

We’re probably only a month away from the announcement of the iPhone 16, but rumors suggest that this year’s models won’t bring significant upgrades when compared to the iPhone 15 lineup. iPhone sales have been slowing down in recent years, but analyst Jeff Pu has good expectations when it comes to iPhone 17 sales next year.

We’ve been hearing multiple rumors about a potential new iPhone 17 model that will have a new, slimmer design. The first rumors about this “iPhone Slim” suggested that this version would be positioned as an ultra high-end model and could cost more than an iPhone Pro Max. However, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has now pointed out that iPhone Slim will be more like an “iPhone Air” – and that puts all the rumors in a whole new direction.

In the latest Power On Newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman clarifies some details about next year’s slim iPhone 17 model, which he refers to as an iPhone 17 “Air.” The analyst also goes on to provide details about Apple’s future iPhone plans, including a “Pro” model with a slimmer chassis, as well as the possibility of a folding iPhone.

We’ve noted the contradictory and hard-to-parse rumors about a new iPhone 17 Slim, with some suggesting it will be the top-end model while more recent reports indicate that it may be less powerful than the Pro models.

The more I read about this device, the more it sounds like Apple may be aiming to get yet another step closer to that vision of “a single slab of glass” – and making another attempt at a strategy it first tried with the 12-inch MacBook …

Apple has been working on its own cellular modems for years, with little to show for it. But according to Ming-Chi Kuo, it seems the company is finally ready to move its 5G chips in-house in 2025.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is out with new details on the all-new “iPhone 17 Slim” set to debut next year. According to the analyst, the iPhone 17 Slim (Ultra?) will focus on form over function, with the company making significant compromises to achieve an “ultra-slim” design.

The Information yesterday carried a report focusing on Apple’s work on a foldable iPhone, but it also included a reference to an iPhone 17 feature which could be a big deal for photographers.

The piece suggested that at least one model will, for the first time, include a variable aperture, allowing better control over depth of field …

A new report from The Information dives into what to expect from the iPhone lineup over the next several years. According to the report, Apple is ramping up its work on a foldable iPhone and simultaneously planning more imminent changes to the rest of the lineup, starting with this year’s iPhone 16.

We’re just a couple months away from the iPhone 16’s launch. There are a lot of changes in store for this year’s iPhones. But today it’s next year’s models at the center of a new rumor.

When the iPhone 17 launches in 2025, reports indicate that Apple plans to introduce an advanced, ultra-premium model that stands apart from the rest of the lineup. I’ve taken to calling it the iPhone 17 Ultra, but today’s rumor casts new doubts over the role of this new model, and whether it might be something else entirely: an iPhone Air? iPhone Slim? Or will it be an Ultra model after all?

A new rumor today offers a detailed look at what to expect from next year’s iPhone 17 lineup. The lineup will reportedly include four new models, including the all-new form factor “iPhone 17 Slim.” It also appears that Apple could finally address one of the most common display complaints of the iPhone lineup…

Reports of the iPhone 17 having a 2nm chip in the two Pro models have been disputed by a leaker with a respectable track-record. They say that Apple’s first 2nm processor will instead be used in the iPhone 18.

Citing inside information they claim to have about TSMC’s forecast production capacity, they suggest that 2nm chips won’t enter production until the end of 2025 – which would be too late for the iPhone 17 …

Not too long ago, Apple was on a mission to make all of its devices thinner and lighter. This ambition resulted in iPhones that bent, and MacBook Pros that removed pro ports and had a terrible keyboard.

In the past few years, Apple has shifted gears, prioritizing battery life, ports, and other important features over thinness. But the tides are set to turn again.

According to a new report, Apple’s thinning agenda is back and it’s coming for the iPhone, MacBook Pro, and Apple Watch soon. But the recent iPad Pro shows that Apple may just succeed this time around.

A 9to5Mac poll has confirmed what Apple execs certainly already know: there is a strong market willing to pay a serious premium for a new Ultra-level iPhone.

Hence, 2025’s expected iPhone 17 Ultra.

It’s a busy time for iPhone rumors. Even though we’re still months away from the debut of the iPhone 16 lineup, some interesting reports have started pointing to a major change in the works for next year’s iPhone 17.

One model of iPhone 17 is said to be ultra-thin and ultra-premium, coming in at a starting price higher than the 17 Pro Max. It sounds like Apple is preparing to launch an iPhone 17 Ultra.

How much higher can the iPhone’s price go? Tell us what you’d be willing to pay for an iPhone Ultra in our poll below.

I still remember my first moments with an iPhone X. It felt like something from the future: the OLED display, Face ID, all-screen design, new UX paradigms for navigation. The iPhone X truly was a leap forward for the iPhone following several years of iterative updates.

Per the latest reporting, next year’s iPhone 17 might bring with it another iPhone X-style moment. A new ultra-thin iPhone model is said to be the new highest-end model, perhaps sporting the name iPhone 17 Ultra.

Here’s what that next leap-forward iPhone might bring.

We learned new details about what Apple may ship as the new high-end iPhone in 2025 with a redesigned ultra-thin form factor. But with that change, we could see shorter battery life, particularly compared to the Pro Max model. Would an ultra-thin design be worth it to you at the expense of a smaller battery?
