According to industry experts, the "boring" era of the iPhone is coming to an end with these three iPhone models.
Apple has always made the iPhone better and more luxurious every year. But for a long time, the new iPhone models have been somewhat "boring" compared to the early days of innovation. However, according to the latest rumors, the "boring era" of the iPhone will end this fall.
At first glance, it will be difficult for users to distinguish the high-end iPhone 16 Pro Max from similar iPhone Pro Max models released in the past few years.
Fortunately, big changes are coming soon. Starting this fall and lasting for the next year or two, Apple will launch three exciting new iPhone models:
- The super-thin iPhone 17 Air
- The foldable iPhone Fold
- A special "20th anniversary" iPhone 19 Pro
The end of boring iPhones
The iPhone 17 Air will boast a super-thin, futuristic design that is significantly thinner than current iPhone models and also has a unique screen size. When it is released, the iPhone 17 Air will go head-to-head with Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge.
On the other hand, next year's iPhone Fold will bring the iPhone and iPad experience into a single product that fits easily in your pocket. They will compete directly with many foldable smartphones currently on the market.
According to renowned analyst Mark Gurman, Apple will launch a “bold new iPhone Pro” in 2026 or 2027 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iPhone. There are currently few details beyond the fact that the device will “feature larger glass.”
The three iPhone launches above show that the “boring” era of the iPhone is over. Of course, Apple will still launch other iPhone models, with fewer changes.
It’s no surprise that Apple’s hardware chief, John Ternus, said the upcoming iPhone models will be “the most ambitious iPhones in the history of the product.” This information has longtime fans extremely excited.
