The iPhone 17 Air could be the biggest design change we have seen in years. Apple is planning to release this new iPhone in 2025.
Sadly, It may replace the iPhone 17 Plus model. I personally like Plus models for its bigger display and battery. 60Hz display was manageable and iPhone 17, 17 Air leaks suggesting that all models will get 120Hz display upgrade, Plus model would have been a killer device this year.
The iPhone 16 Plus could be the last Plus model we get. 🙁
