NOTE: This is my own opinion/wishlist/idea, so feel free to discuss how you may change the lineup. I know this most definitely will not be the case next year.

EDIT: Changed the iPhone SE Video to 4K60 from 4K30 since someone pointed out the iPhone 8 and SE 3 already have 4K60 video

I would want the regular iPhone to have 1-120HZ so it gets Always on Display. That’s my personal preference though so I could get the base model.

 

[jagolden]

Like your list except for the anti-reflective coating. Hate that look. Keep it gloss. If someone wants anti-glare/reflective they can put on a screen protector.

 

[JPack]

The Air in your lineup is a Pro in reality. It’s not possible to make a slim device with multiple large sensors, especially periscope ones with telephoto.

The 5.7-inch SE is far too small for 2025 in my opinion. With a 48MP sensor, the chassis will be too small to fit a large enough battery. We left the 5.8-inch form factor back in 2020 already.

Maybe it could be an option like the iPad Pros have for the Nanotexture Glass? But that'll complicate the supply chain, something Apple doesn't like doing very much for the iPhone...

Yeah, but I wanted to keep my list as close to what Apple may do as possible, so I had to invoke the pricing ladder unfortunately

That was on purpose honestly, I was thinking how Apple might think and using the price ladder, since people tend to prefer larger screens, persuading them just enough to upgrade

People walking around with a single rear lens and notch in 2025 will feel shameful enough already. 😆

 

[TacoFan]

IMO the SE will be 6.1 minimum
under display Face ID too soon I guess 🤔 and if you want the punch hole it’s 6.9 screen minimum? I don’t think they want to separate the functionalities of the normal size and the big size that much

 

[Sami13496]

Thanks, these are always fun I like your iPhone SE and would probably go for it. Especially for smaller size. Nothing on the iPhone, Air or Pro that I need.

I would even take that SE with LCD display with lower price. I currently use two iPhones, personal and work. One has LCD and one has OLED. Yeah colours on OLED are a bit more vibrant but not drastically. Not a big deal for me.

One thing I would change/add though is maybe colours. I like more toned down colours like iPhone 15 (regular) colours.

 

[dukebound85]

I like this list. I like tying and making cosistent with the iPad/mac lines in terms of naming

 

[brilliantthings]

Your iPhone SE provides an upgrade option for all of us depressed iPhone mini users. I like it.

 

[Moukee]

The iPhone 8 records 4K60. They won't limit this to 4K30 with the new SE all of a sudden.

 

[snipr125]

There should be a foldable type iPhone as the flagship device in the line up.

 

[brilliantthings]

If offered, anti-reflective coating would have to be an option but even then it seems unlikely.

But Apple wants more of your money.

Wouldn’t it be like the Samsung flagships? Like they’re glossy, but they don’t reflect as much external light sources like iPhones do.

 

[klasma]

I disagree with the Hibiscus. How about Rhododendron?

6.9" QD-OLED Display

Basically they just need to slap Apple logo on this:

I need some more of that small iPhone energy out there. These phones getting bigger and my hands are not!

6.9 is crazy. It’s already beyond phablet size. Aren’t there small android tablets that are 7 inches?

 

[Biro]

IMO the SE will be 6.1 minimum
under display Face ID too soon I guess 🤔 and if you want the punch hole it’s 6.9 screen minimum? I don’t think they want to separate the functionalities of the normal size and the big size that much

Besides, we pretty much know the new SE will be based on the iPhone 14 chassis and body. 6.1 inches it is.

 

[nathansz]

smallest one is about an inch too big

I wouldn’t buy any of them

 

[Zwhaler]

I like it. I think the iPhone Pro spec wishlist is 2-3 years out

16 Pro Max is 6.9".
But Apple Pencil point is funny.

That’s because it’s rumoured that the actual 17 Pros coming next year will be given the punch holes exclusively first, so I went with that line of thought
