Overview

• The sequence reportedly starts with the iPhone 17 lineup around September 9, 2025, including a very thin “iPhone 17 Air” that trades to a single rear camera, eSIM-only connectivity, a smaller battery and Apple’s C1 modem.
• Bloomberg’s report says Apple aims to ship its first foldable iPhone in autumn 2026 with four cameras, a durable low-crease hinge using an In‑Cell touch display and Touch ID instead of Face ID.
• Coverage indicates the foldable may launch initially in black and white, drop the physical SIM slot and move to Apple’s C2 modem, with production ramping in early 2026 ahead of a fall release.
• For 2027, Apple is said to be planning a 20th‑anniversary model featuring rounded glass edges that align with the ‘Liquid‑Glass’ design language expected in iOS 26, with “iPhone 19” possibly skipped.
• Gurman characterizes 2025 as a foundation year for larger changes to follow in 2026 and 2027, and none of the details have been confirmed by Apple.
