Other My idea for a revamped iPhone 2025 lineup

The 16 Pro Max is 6.9”, that’s why I went with that size. Also added the Apple Pencil support because yeah, it is like a Phablet now
The iPad is rumoured to get a folding version first. Maybe something like the iPad Studio?
I’m also someone who misses the Mini a lot. That’s one of the reasons why my SE had the 5.7” display

Considering the new iPad Pros are lighter and slimmer than the iPad Airs, I think Apple don’t think of “Air” as a slim and light product anymore, but rather the tier between the standard models and the Pro models
There is nothbing wrong with the OPs idea. The spec bumps make sense. But there is nothing there to let Apple escape the generic feel of the iPhone. as the most popular handset it has become the standard: solid and reliable but pretty dull. It may be that phones are past exciting but Vision Pro proves that when they want to Apple can still do crazy ****!
Apple could follow in the footsteps of other brands and release a folding device but this would be a capitulation that they are happy to follow rather than make the trends.
I don't think another year of the iPhone 12 is going to do them any favours, even with smaller holes. A thinner iPhone Air would be a standout product but it needs something else to make it stand out. I think Apple have the R&D to build a single lens camera that does it all, a Pixel-style horizontal bar with an 18-120mm mechanical periscope with optical zoom functionality. This would also have a f1.8-2.4 variable aperture.
It might not be cheap but it would make the multi-lenses of other models look incredibly tired.

That may mess with Spatial Photo & Video capture though, since both the Main and Ultrawide cameras need to be shooting at the same time for that
I like this.
Instead of 3 or 4 different sensors, and the accompanying lenses, put one big ol sensor on the back of the phone to do it all. That way they could use a much larger sensor than what we have now, and much better glass. Beat everyone with a Sony aps-c size sensor, 18-155/200 ish mm lens.
I think they can make this stuff fairly compact these days, and I’ve thought of a way to keep the water resistance even with the moving lens.
This phone would decimate everything else in image quality, no more fake portrait mode bs necessary anymore either.
Sounds pretty reasonable to me, certainly a few of the things on the pro (under display Face ID and hole punch, 144hz) are a couple years away unfortunately but I feel Apple needs to do a bit of renaming and stream lining the lineup - I like the nod to the iPad naming scheme.
Thats physically impossible unless the iPhone is the same size as a small brick
Sony released their Xperis Pro-i phone a couple of years back that has a 1" sensor coupled with a dual f2-4 aperture.
Lets be honest: nobody is buying an iPhone for its spatial video capture capabilities.
They aren’t, but Apple is absolutely insistent that all flagship iPhones have that capability, so I doubt they’d consider removing it anytime soon
They dropped 3D touch pretty sharpish. Unless Apple is going to release lenticular iPads and iMacs at some point (which would be awesome!) I'm not sure there will be a 2.0 Vision Pro.
Vision Pro 2 is already in the rumour mill, with highlights being the M5 SoC and Apple Intelligence (IDK why the OG Vision Pro can’t run Apple Intelligence)
And some of us hate uber-glossy and the glare reflectivity that comes with it.
This thread is a wish list and a unreasonable one at that, my 1 tb Samsung Galaxy s23 ultra has close to or better specs than your iPhone air wish and was more than $999
I was thinking something along the lines of the S24 Ultra's anti-reflective coating, it's really good
Air and Pro at least should come in 2 sizes, a regular and large, just like the iPad Air/Pro and Macbook Air/Pro lines.
