Apple might be planning some major changes to its iPhone lineup over the next few years. The iPhone Air is expected to launch later this year with an ultra-slim design, followed by a larger model in 2027. According to Bloomberg, Apple scaled back plans for a 6.9-inch display to opt instead for a more manageable 6.6-inch Air to avoid potential issues. The iPhone Air could signal a bigger move by Apple to offer more varied devices for different types of users.

In addition to the slim models, Apple is already rumored to be working on a second foldable iPhone for release in 2027. The company might also consider a staggered iPhone launch schedule, with premium models like the iPhone 18 Pro arriving in the fall and more budget-friendly versions released in the spring. This shift could mark the end of Apple’s traditional annual refresh cycle and allow for more varied device updates throughout the year.
