Apple is allegedly preparing for a significant overhaul of the iPhone, well in advance of the device’s 20th anniversary. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the iPhone 19 series—anticipated to debut in 2027—will showcase a striking new design, featuring a foldable variant and a Pro edition that integrates more glass into its aesthetics.

While the specifics are still scarce, speculation regarding a foldable iPhone has been floating around for several years. Recent updates indicate that these rumors are gaining traction. Gurman additionally mentions that the forthcoming iPhone 17, expected to launch in 2025, will provide a glimpse into Apple’s evolving design ethos with a sleeker, more polished look.

A highlight in the iPhone 17 range is the rumored “iPhone 17 Air.” This variant is believed to preserve the existing screen dimensions but will be roughly two millimeters thinner. Despite its reduced thickness, it is anticipated to deliver similar battery performance. Nonetheless, it might entail compromises, such as featuring a single 48MP rear camera and an A19 chip in place of the more robust A19 Pro.

In the meantime, the iPhone 17 Pro is speculated to boast a 48MP telephoto lens, the A19 Pro chip, and a reimagined camera bump—further indicating Apple’s commitment to innovation in both design and functionality.

Before any of these hardware enhancements roll out, Apple enthusiasts can anticipate the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 9. At this event, Apple is likely to reveal a significant redesign of iOS 19, alongside updates to macOS 16, iPadOS 19, tvOS 19, watchOS 12, and visionOS 3.
