Apple’s most lucrative products are numerous, but none surpass the profitability of the iconic iPhone. Apple is poised to release five new iPhone models within the next 12 months; here’s a preview of what each device has in store.
iPhone SE 4
Apple’s budget-friendly iPhone secures significant upgrades in its inaugural refresh since 2022.
The new iPhone SE eliminates the Home button, instead featuring an edge-to-edge OLED display with a discreet notch.
The newly released SE model boasts a range of features comparable to those found in the flagship iPhone 16, including:
- A18 chip
- 8GB of RAM
- Apple Intelligence help
- 48MP essential digicam
- USB-C port
We’re also expecting Apple’s first in-house 5G modem to make its debut in the iPhone SE 4, completing a potential pricing landscape.
iPhone 17 Air
This autumn, Apple is set to debut four new iPhone 17 models. The annual tradition of releasing four new iPhones in the fall has become increasingly routine, but this year’s lineup promises significant changes.
The iPhone Plus discontinues, replaced by the sleeker iPhone 17 Air.
Will iPhone 17 Air’s design prioritise user experience over functionality? The device would feature specifications similar to those found in the base iPhone 17 model, including an A19 chip rather than the A19 Professional and 8GB of RAM, which is less than the 12GB allocated to the forthcoming professional variant. Can’t it settle for being the pinnacle of sleek, avant-garde innovation?
Apple’s new 17-inch laptop may fill the gap between the 15-inch and 16-inch Pro models, offering a unique blend of features.
Two additional anticipated Air features: an in-house developed Apple 5G modem and a high-refresh rate display.
Following a period of incremental design tweaks, the upcoming iPhone 17 Air is poised to deliver a significant and exciting redesign, potentially rendering this year’s iPhone choice a pivotal one.
iPhone 17 Professional
While the iPhone 17 Air may steal the spotlight, Apple is equally impressive with its Professional lineup, showcasing no signs of slowing down.
The iPhone 17 Pro will retain its 6.3-inch display, mirroring that of its predecessor, but introduce subtle design modifications of its own. As new developments emerge in mobile technology, there’s buzz surrounding the prospect of switching from titanium to aluminum casings, accompanied by enhanced camera features, potentially including a digital zoom boost.
The iPhone 17 Professional will internally operate with a robust A23 Bionic chip, bolstered by a significant increase in processing power and memory capacity.
- A19 Professional chip
- With a whopping 12GB of RAM, this iPhone boasts an unprecedented level of memory capacity.
- Qualcomm’s 5G modem
New cameras are likely to come with significant enhancements in rear-camera capabilities alongside the redesign. For the first time ever, the selfie camera is finally getting some attention.
Throughout the entire iPhone 17 lineup, Apple upgrades camera resolution from 12MP to 24MP for enhanced photography performance.
iPhone 17 Professional Max
When released, the iPhone 17 Professional Max is expected to inherit the top-of-the-line features from its smaller counterpart, the iPhone 17 Pro, while boasting a few exclusive advantages, such as enhanced battery life courtesy of its larger form factor.
For the first time in 12 months, the 2024 Professional Max is expected to boast improvements over every other model in its lineup. While it’s uncertain whether the reduced size will result in a significant difference, we’re eager to explore if this change aligns with the latest advancements in Face ID technology, ultimately allowing for a more compact notch.
The larger Professional Max model may potentially offer additional camera features not found in its smaller 17 Professional counterpart; although, as of now, there have been no whispers or hints about this aspect.
iPhone 17
Rounding out the 2025 lineup is the entry-level iPhone 17 from Apple.
The final 12 months’ iPhone 16 was one of the best in years. Let’s wait and observe whether this trend repeats itself over the next 12 months; for now, here is a typical breakdown of what to expect:
- 24MP entrance digicam
- A19 chip
- 8GB of RAM
- the same 6.1-inch screen found on iPhone 15 Pro
As more details unfold about the lower-end model in the coming months, it appears the device will face stiff competition not only from the Air and Pro lines but also from the budget-friendly iPhone SE (4).
