Report Reveals Major Details About Apple’s Foldable iPhone

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-11-06 16:00:31

Apple is looking for its next cash cow. But Tim Cook won’t need to look far because, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company is working on reinventing the iPhone with not one, not two, but three models. The first of the three iPhones will come next month at Apple’s annual fall launch event. The long-rumored “iPhone 17 Air” will reportedly be Apple’s thinnest phone ever—even skinnier than the iPhone 6, which sparked “bendgate” back in 2014. The 17 Air is expected to replace the iPhone

Rumor: Apple testing iPhone 4-like case for iPhone 17 Air

Apple is expected to launch a new flavor of its Smart Battery Case alongside the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air next month. As it turns out, that’s not the only forgotten iPhone case the company has up its sleeve. Mark Gurman reports that Apple has “at least considered/tested” a case for the iPhone 17 Air that “surrounds the edges but doesn’t cover the back.” If that sounds familiar, it’s because Apple offered a Bumper case exactly like that for the iPhone 4 in 2010.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Android used to be synonymous with freedom.

But that golden era is quickly disappearing, as yet another major Android fork has run into troubles.
