The iPhone business, which accounts for around half of Apple’s overall revenue, is in a sales slump following years of mostly incremental upgrades to its devices.

There's a lot riding on Apple's plans for the iPhone in 2025. At a time when consumers are holding onto their phones for longer periods of time, it's harder than ever to entice iPhone users to upgrade. According to a CNET survey in partnership with YouGov, 44% of smartphone owners only buy a new phone when their current one needs replacing.

Apple is removing the current iPhone SE from sale in Europe due to new EU regulations before the next iPhone SE is ready to replace it.

Rumors of the iPhone 17 Slim or iPhone 17 Air have been steadily flowing over the past few weeks. While the sources are split on whether this will replace the Plus models, or be a new fifth type of iPhone, it's sounding like Apple’s next attempt to find another successful branch of the iPhone family tree alongside the basic, Pro and Pro Max ones.

Apple is being forced to discontinue some of its most popular iPhone models ahead of schedule due to a USB regulation.

The iPhone 17 Air is confirmed to be in production. It's expected to replace the Plus model and feature a slimmer design, larger display, custom 5G modem, and a new camera system.
