iPhone 17th gets worse than the iPhone 17 (so you don’t have to wait for it)

According to Bloomberg, Apple is planning to release a new iPhone in the first half of 2026. This iPhone becomes the successor of the iPhone 16th. Where the iPhone 16th is a slightly decorated version of the iPhone 16, according to rumors, the iPhone 17th will hand in a lot compared to the iPhone 17.

Bloomberg says that with the iPhone 17th, Apple wants to create more clarity in their product range. According to the news site, the difference between the normal iPhone 16 and 16th was too small to justify the price difference. Apple will apparently resolve that by having the iPhone 17th hand in considerably on features compared to iPhone 17.

With the iPhone 16th, not so many features were missing. You lost the ultra -wide angle and the telephoto lens and Magsafe was not over. In addition, the device has a notch and therefore looks a bit older. But furthermore the iPhone 16th is an interesting budget device.

The iPhone 17 has received considerable improvements this year with, among other things, a new camera and promotion. But you will probably not see these features on the iPhone 17th.

iPhone 17 Possible price and release

The iPhone 16 cost 959 euros upon introduction, while the 16th was launched for 719 euros. But the iPhone 16 now costs € 740 and for the iPhone 16th you pay € 565. The iPhone 17 has the same suggested retail price as the iPhone 16 then had. So the iPhone 17th will probably cost the same as the 16th at the introduction.

The iPhone 16th appeared in February of 2025. Probably the iPhone 17th will also be released somewhere in this month in 2026.
