But Tim Cook won&rsquo;t need to look far because, according to Bloomberg&rsquo;s Mark Gurman, the company is working on reinventing the iPhone with not one, not two, but three models.<\/p>\n<p>The first of the three iPhones will come next month at Apple&rsquo;s annual fall launch event. The long-rumored &ldquo;iPhone 17 Air&rdquo; will reportedly be Apple&rsquo;s thinnest phone ever&mdash;even skinnier than the iPhone 6, which sparked &ldquo;bendgate&rdquo; back in 2014. The 17 Air is expected to replace the iPhone 16 Plus, and Gurman claims with confidence that the 17 Air will come in &ldquo;light blue,&rdquo; which corroborates leaked dummy models. The 17 Air will also reportedly use an Apple-made modem&mdash;possibly the same C1 chip used in the iPhone 16e&mdash;and come with a single rear camera and support eSIM only.<\/p>\n<p class=\"comp-p not-prose\">See iPhones at Amazon<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose my-8 -mx-4 xs:max-w-xs xs:mx-auto\"><\/div>\n<p>The second revolutionary iPhone will be a book-style foldable, similar to the style of Samsung&rsquo;s Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Google&rsquo;s Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Gurman again says the foldable iPhone will launch in 2026. He shared new details for the device that haven&rsquo;t been previously reported, including that it&rsquo;ll reportedly use Touch ID instead of Face ID, have four cameras, and not include a physical SIM card slot. It might also use a second-gen version of Apple&rsquo;s own modem&mdash;dubbed the &ldquo;C2&rdquo; chip and the screen will use &ldquo;in-cell&rdquo; display technology, which &ldquo;should help make the crease less obvious and improve touch accuracy.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2000629365\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2000629365\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2000629365\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Z Fold 7 has a crease, like every foldable phone. Can a foldable iPhone really eliminate it? &copy; Raymond Wong \/ Gizmodo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously said that the foldable iPhone would come with a crease-free design. The crease, aka the fold running down a flexible display when it&rsquo;s opened and closed, is something no phonemaker has been able to eliminate. Leading foldable phone makers like Samsung, Honor, and Motorola have&nbsp;<em>reduced<\/em> the crease on their bending devices, but the crease has always remained (and still deepens with extended use after the first days). Having reviewed every generation of Samsung&rsquo;s Galaxy Z Fold since 2019, I&rsquo;m skeptical Apple can do what others haven&rsquo;t, but I&rsquo;d love to be proven wrong. That being said, I&rsquo;ve been totally in love with the Z Fold 7&rsquo;s thinness and lightness that I&rsquo;ve accepted that it has a crease, the same way I accepted the notch on the iPhone X and the Dynamic Island on the current iPhones. Repeat after me: there is no perfect phone <em>and<\/em> there never has been. Phone designs have always come with tradeoffs.<\/p>\n<p>And the third iPhone, which Gurman says won&rsquo;t be coming until 2027&mdash;in time for the iPhone&rsquo;s 20th anniversary&mdash;will finally revamp the current glass-and-flat-metal-sides design that Apple introduced with the iPhone 12 series in 2020. He says the &ldquo;iPhone 2020&rdquo; will have &ldquo;curved glass edges all around,&rdquo; which will be a hardware match to the glossy, reflective, and animated Liquid Glass interface that arrives with iOS 26.<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>If Gurman&rsquo;s crystal ball is working properly, Tim Cook is cooking up some new iPhones to help allay concerns that the company has lost its North Star. Fumbles with AI&mdash;Apple Intelligence and the revamped Siri have been major stains&mdash;and mild refreshes to its product lineup, not to mention a slew of its design team defecting to former Apple Chief Design Officer Jony Ive&rsquo;s LoveFrom firm, have made consumers question whether Apple&rsquo;s time as a technology tastemaker is up. A skinny iPhone 17 Air is a start, but a foldable iPhone, followed by an all-glass iPhone, could get people lining up at Apple Stores in a way they haven&rsquo;t since before covid-19.<\/p>\n<p class=\"comp-p not-prose\">See iPhones at Amazon<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub>Report Reveals Major Details About Apple&rsquo;s Foldable iPhone<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple is looking for its next cash cow.
