New iPhone Air rumors suggest it could be a reason to skip this year’s iPhone 16

Estimated read time 3 min read


We’ve been hearing for a few months now that Apple is apparently working on adding a thinner iPhone to its lineup. Earlier this month, new details emerged as this slimmed-down device could have a new “iPhone Air” name, and that’s now been backed up by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman – along with a few extra details that could have you considering skipping this year’s iPhone 16.

As Gurman’s Power On newsletter explains, the iPhone 16 update is likely to be relatively minor one (aside from around six mooted upgrades). But the iPhone Air could finally be something a bit different. Apparently coming in 2025, this iPhone could have a much thinner chassis than any existing Apple phone, while retaining most of the specifications of the base-level iPhone 17. 

Importantly, Gurman also says the iPhone Air will sit somewhere between the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro in price (similar to how the original MacBook Air was positioned between the MacBook and the MacBook Pro). That could make it much more tempting than a higher-end iPhone Ultra, an earlier rumor that appears to have died down for now.

All of this could make it a pretty intriguing phone for Apple fans. If you feel like you don’t need the high-end features (or eye-watering price tag) of Apple’s Pro and Pro Max phones but still want something that looks and feels different in your hand, the iPhone Air could absolutely tick those boxes. Particularly if you don’t want that svelte frame to wreck your finances.
