A slimmed-down iPhone Air is rumored to debut next month, diverging from Apple’s usual incremental launch updates. A three-year hardware roadmap will align devices with a new Liquid Glass design arriving with the next iOS update. Plans include a book-style foldable iPhone in 2026 and an anniversary model in 2027 featuring curved glass around the entire device and ultra-thin bezels. The main iPhone 17 lineup this fall is expected to show minimal design changes apart from a Pixel-like rear camera bar. The iPhone Air may offer a fresh form factor but could carry tradeoffs such as shorter battery life and higher price.
Next month, Apple is rumored to debut a slimmed-down iPhone Air, breaking from the small design tweaks and spec bumps that have become routine at its launch events. The three-year plan will see its hardware change to mesh with the new Liquid Glass design in its next iOS update, as Bloomberg's Mark Gurman highlighted in his latest newsletter over the weekend.
It also includes the launch of the book-style foldable iPhone in 2026 that's been rumored for months, and Apple is reportedly planning to launch an iPhone with curved glass around the entire device and very thin bezels in celebration of the device's 20th anniversary in 2027. The main iPhone 17 lineup this fall isn't expected to come with significant design tweaks other than a Pixel-like camera bar on the back.
