Apple’s new iPhone Air is revealed and will be released in 2025 to replace the Plus model
Rumors about iPhones on the Internet have never stopped. Although it has just passed the middle of 2024, news about iPhones in 2025, 2026 and even 2027 have already appeared.In the latest news, Apple will cancel the Plus model in 2025 and launch a new iPhone Ari as a replacement to save the poor sales of the Plus model.
Rumors about Apple's new iPhone have quietly emerged, but it is not the iPhone 16 series or the iPhone 17 series, but the iPhone Air.
This revelation comes from Jon Prosser of Front Page Tech. In a 12-minute YouTube video, he analyzed in detail the new members that Apple may introduce in the iPhone 17 series and their naming innovations.Prosser pointed out that the iPhone Air is not a flagship, and its price is expected to be similar to the iPhone 15 Plus. The basic version starts at about US$899, which is obviously not as high as the US$1,199 of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
In the video, Prosser also sorted out more rumors about the thin and light model, such as that it will be equipped with a redesigned camera system, while refuting another claim that it will cost as much as $1,299.He believes that the iPhone Air will become a replacement for the iPhone 17 Plus, aiming to improve the portability and practicality of large-screen devices. This also echoes the rumor that Apple may eliminate the Plus series and instead promote the iPhone Air.Additionally, the device is expected to be powered by the A19 chip, rather than the more advanced A19 Pro.
Earlier predictions by well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo mentioned that the iPhone Air may be named iPhone 17 Slim, with a screen size of 6.6 inches, between the iPhone 17 and Plus models, and retaining the dynamic island design.
However, there is currently no accurate information about the name of the new model, but it is basically certain that Apple will launch a new model to replace the poorly-selling Plus model.Although the change is not big, it can be regarded as an attempt. After all, the sales of Apple mobile phones are now declining.
