According to reports, the foldable iPhone will borrow the camera from the "iPhone 17 Air" and iPhone 17 Pro models, bringing impressive photography capabilities.
Apple has long been preparing for the foldable iPhone as well as the upcoming iPhone 17 series. Recently, analyst Mark Gurman shared his predictions about these "super products".
Foldable iPhone
First up is the foldable iPhone. Gurman believes that Apple will launch its own foldable iPhone next year, with a design similar to Samsung's product. Accordingly, the foldable iPhone will integrate many of the same technologies as the upcoming iPhone 17 "Air".
According to him, this foldable iPhone will cost around $ 2,000, which is a potential "boost" for Apple, even if initial sales are not large. Currently, consumers are eagerly waiting for the "Apple House" to join this category, contributing to the company's potential FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) effect.
What will the iPhone 17 series have?
Regarding the standard iPhone 17 series, the analyst said that Apple tends to reserve its most important improvements for the higher-end iPhone 17 Pro models. However, he expects the standard iPhone 17 to receive some modest improvements. The standard iPhone 17 will have minor improvements to the rear camera system and will incorporate a smoother ProMotion display. Additionally, the standard iPhone 17 is also expected to use Apple's next-generation A19 chip, which should bring increased performance.
Additionally, the iPhone 17 Pro will have major improvements to the camera system, including a 48-megapixel sensor on all three rear cameras
The ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air is expected to cost $800 more. According to him, the difference in specifications will be negligible and users will get a significantly thinner and lighter phone with a larger screen than the iPhone 17.
Mr. Gurman commented that, in essence, Apple is preparing to significantly penetrate the foldable phone market with a high-end device, the standard iPhone 17 will only have minor upgrades, more significant improvements will be reserved for the iPhone 17 Pro models, and the iPhone 17 "Air" will be a new, more attractive option.
Between the hardware changes in the 2025 iPhone line and rumors of iOS 19 user interface upgrades, iFan is very excited.
