One of the notable highlights is that the company will launch a foldable iPhone for the first time. In addition, Apple is also developing a completely new iPhone Pro model with a bold design, using more glasses than ever.
If it goes as planned, this model will realize the long-standing dream of former head designer Jony Ive - who once chased the idea of an iPhone that looked like a "perfect glasses".
This philosophy has been clearly demonstrated with the iPhone X, but in recent years, Apple has gradually shifted to thicker devices that are less inclined to aesthetically thinning.
Now, it seems that the company is returning to the path that Jony Ive has drawn, starting with the super-thin iPhone 17 Air that will be launched later this year, and continuing with the Pro version of the iPhone celebrating 20 years next year.
In a recent report, Gurman wrote: Apple is preparing a major refresh for the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, including a folding version and a new Pro that boldly uses glasses more widely.
Using more glasses may make users worry about durability and repair costs, but this is a country with Apple personality. And if there is a suitable time to create a turning point in design, it is the 20-year milestone.
Previously, Gurman revealed that the iPhone 17 Air is just the beginning of a strategy to turn the entire iPhone lineup into super thin in the future.
The combination of an ultra-thin design and a "comprehensive" body on the 20-year-old iPhone Pro model could be Apple's way of realizing the "perfect glasses" ideal that Ive has cherished.
