According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is expected to make significant changes to their iPhone line-up in 2025.
Apple is planning to hold its annual fall event in September. During the event, the company is expected to unveil its highly anticipated iPhone 16 lineup, as well as the latest version of its operating system, iOS, and possibly other new products.
Despite the all-important hardware-focused event on the horizon, Apple analyst Gurman is already shifting his focus to next year.
According to Gurman, the company plans to significantly enhance the iPhone lineup as early as the beginning of 2025.
Gurman states in his most recent Power On Newsletter that the iPhone 16 series is not likely to generate a significant amount of sales.
“According to him, the company also does not have any indication based on the latest financial guidance.”
According to Gurman, Apple is also optimistic about the upcoming generation of iPhones, as it will provide even more incentives for Apple users to make the switch to the new devices.
iPhone SE 3
Compact yet powerful
Gurman has stated that the upcoming iPhone SE will have a similar appearance to the iPhone 14, but with the addition of an OLED display and Apple’s intelligent technology.
The iPhone SE line-up does not receive yearly updates. The most recent version of the budget iPhone was launched by Apple in 2022.
Although its pricing has not been officially confirmed, Gurman believes that Apple should target a price below $500 for the phone. The analyst forecasts that this strategy could result in high demand and make it a popular choice among consumers.
The highly anticipated iPhone SE is expected to outperform all previous models in its lineup. In contrast to its predecessors, this affordable iPhone will feature a contemporary design and top-of-the-line components.
Despite being overdue, the design overhaul by Apple has opened the door for powerful specifications with the addition of “Apple Intelligence”on this device.
iPhone 15 Pro Max
Roadmap for the iPhone 17 Slim
Despite this, the highlight of Apple’s updated iPhone collection will be revealed at the end-of-year event.
Gurman affirms once again that the iPhone 17 Slim or iPhone Air will join the iPhone 17 family as the fourth model, positioning itself between the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro.
According to Gurman, this new device will signal the end of the “Plus”versions of iPhones. He compares it to the MacBook Air, describing it as a hybrid between the regular MacBook and MacBook Pro.
This new product is targeted towards individuals who are seeking something more stylish than a typical iPhone.
According to Gurman, individuals who do not require the “performance, screen size, or cameras”of a Pro model will have the opportunity to choose a cooler alternative.
Gurman also speculates on the potential outcome if Apple’s trial with the thinner device is successful.
We can expect the Pro devices to eventually become lighter and have a slimmer design. However, this change will not occur until the year 2027.
Gurman’s prediction suggests that Apple is significantly behind in the competition for foldable phones. However, while the foldable iPhone is expected to materialize, it appears that the company places equal importance on the development of a foldable iPad, according to internal indications.
This suggests that the foldable iPad will probably be released earlier than the foldable iPhone.
