This year we can expect five new iPhone models. One of them has already been released, the iPhone 16th. Later we can also expect the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Ultra and the brand new iPhone 17 Air. The most special in this list will undoubtedly be the Air, but the Pro models can also count on interesting innovations.
The ‘standard’ iPhone 17 of course also gets the necessary changes, but will be less spectacular. All four models are expected this fall. We list the most important rumors for you so that you know exactly what to expect from Apple’s iPhone-Line Up for 2025.
iPhone 16th
The first new iPhone of 2025 was the iPhone 16th, the indirect successor to the iPhone SE. With the iPhone 16th, the company tries to attract a new audience to the iPhone. It is best to see the new iPhone as a simplified version of the iPhone 16 with single concessions.

Where the iPhone SE was always an old iPhone in a new look, the iPhone 16th is previously a stripped version of the current line. Not surprising that Apple has chosen 16th as a name. Yet you see some similarities with the SE. For example, the 16th has the design and housing of the iPhone 14, but with new parts such as stronger Ceramic Shield, USB-C, action button and a highly improved camera. With a suggested retail price of € 719, it is no longer a budget telephone
iPhone 17 series
The new iPhone 17 series is expected in the autumn of 2025, possibly in September. Most likely the iPhone 17 Air gets all the attention, because it will be a brand new product in the trend of becoming thinner from the iPad Pro and Apple Watch, among others. The standard iPhone 17 may get the least innovations, while the iPhone 17 Pro (Max) can count on some interesting improvements.
iPhone 17 Air
The expectation is that Apple will no longer release the iPhone 17 Plus. Instead, a completely new smartphone is marketed with the name iPhone 17 Air. Allegedly this would be the thinnest iPhone ever.
The iPhone Air would get a titanium housing that is thinner than the thinnest iPhone of the moment. The Air may get a scratch-resistant 6.55-inch LTPO OLED display with promotion and possibly also an always-following screen with less reflection.
Some rumors indicate that Apple may want to move the cameras on the back to the middle at the Air model. This would be a few super camera to compare with the iPhone 16th. With the A19 chip and own 5G modem, this will be a top device.
- iPhone 17 Air in short: new and thin design, 6.55-inch OLED screen with promotion, Face ID, Dynamic Island, A19 chip, C1 modem for 5G, Action button, USB-C, some super camera, 24MP selfie camera and Titanium housing with glass
iPhone 17
The standard iPhone 17 may get the least innovations, but can be called interesting. The iPhone 17 may get a 6.1-inch LTPO OLED display with promotion and an always-on-screen. The screen is protected with a new scratch -resistant display with fewer reflections.
The iPhone 17 is expected to get an A19 chip of high quality including 8 GB of memory. The device will also contain Apple’s own 5G modem.

All iPhone 17 models are expected to have a 24-megapixel camera on the front with a lens with six elements, which would be an upgrade compared to the current 12-megapixel selfie camera.
- iPhone 17 in short: 6.1-inch OLED screen with promotion, Face ID, Dynamic Island, A19 chip, C1 modem for 5G, Action button, camera controller, USB-C, improved dual camera system, 24mp selfie camera and aluminum housing with glass in new colors.
iPhone 17 Pro
Some changes are expected in the Pro model, but these are not very spectacular. Just like with the iPhone 17 Air, the camera module is adjusted on the back and would cover the entire top of the iPhone instead of half. In addition, the TetrapRisma Televelscamera for Pro models would be equipped with a 48-megapixel camera instead of 12 MP.
The iPhone 17 Pro (Max) is expected to get an A19 chip of high quality including 8 GB of memory. The device will also contain Apple’s own 5G modem.

Just like the iPhone 17 (Air), the Pro model may also get an LTPO OLED display with promotion and always-on-screen. The screen is protected with a new scratch -resistant display with fewer reflections.
Finally, new rumors indicate that Apple may want to re-provide the pro models with aluminum. Analyst Jeff Pugh reports That the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Ultra models will get an aluminum frame. According to him, the iPhone 17 Air gets a titanium frame. Apple would like to choose aluminum because of the lower CO2 footprint compared to titanium.
- iPhone 17 Pro in short: adapted design, 6.3-inch OLED screen with promotion, aluminum housing with glass in new colors, Face ID, Dynamic Island, A19 Pro-chip, C1 modem for 5G, Action button and camera controller, USB-C, 24MP Selfie Camera and a renewed triple-camera system-camera-cama
iPhone 17 Ultra
According to different rumors, the iPhone Pro Max model would be replaced by Ultra. This would mainly be a name change to better emphasize the differences between the models. Of course the ultra has the largest screen of the series; A 6.9-inch OLED display with promotion. In addition, the same design changes are expected as the Pro model, but the Ultra contains at least four extra details that are not present in the Pro model.

In the 6.9-inch OLED screen with promotion, Apple may add a smaller Dynamic Island, creating even more screen space. Furthermore, the housing would become thicker with a larger battery for a higher battery capacity.
Finally, the ultra gets a special one vapor room; This is an advanced cooling system where a closed room with liquid is placed above the chip. The liquid evaporates through heat, spreads the heat as a vapor, condenses into liquid again and returns to the heat source, which ensures efficient heat dissipation without fans.
- iPhone 17 Ultra in het kort: Aangepast ontwerp, 6,9-inch OLED-scherm met ProMotion, aluminium behuizing met glas in nieuwe kleuren, Face ID, kleiner Dynamic Island, A19 Pro-chip, dampkamer voor koeling, C1 modem voor 5G, actieknop en cameraregelaar, USB-C, 24MP selfiecamera en een vernieuwd triple-camerasysteem met 48 MP Tetraprisma-Teleelens.
