Apple’s next major iPhone upgrade will include a new model called the iPhone 17 Air, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. This seems like an obvious way to expand the lineup, given Apple’s success with the Air moniker for thinner MacBooks and iPads (I’m typing those words on a MacBook Air), and it might even be better than the iPhone Plus or mini. Gurman writes that the iPhone 17 Air will include Apple’s first home modem, which will reportedly debut in the new iPhone SE in the spring. The phone is also supposed to be Apple’s thinnest smartphone yet – two millimeters thinner than the current iPhone. So it will represent a step towards a foldable iPhone and iPad that the company will develop for 2026 or later. Gurman also revealed other Apple products expected to launch in 2025, including a smart home hub. Not on the list: The new version of the company’s mixed reality headset, the Vision Pro.
