Apple’s future lineup is always an exciting topic of conversation among the tech community. We are always hearing about what Apple is doing for its next iPhone, what new tech Apple is exploring and what to expect from future Apple products.

Apart from getting updates, these rumours and reports somehow help us keep our expectations in check.

The latest report now sheds light on what Apple is planning for its new iPhone, iPad, Mac and Watch models.

Here’s everything we can gather from recent reports.

In his most recent newsletter, Bloomberg’s reputable Apple reporter Mark Gurman shares that Apple is always working on its upcoming range that includes new products along with upgrades to its current lineup of iPhones and more.

According to Gurman, Apple is still focusing on developing product ranges other than iPhones.

The company is working and investing heavily in home products and smart glasses.

However, the company is not moving away from its core. Gurman writes, “In the nearer term, Apple will be focused on gradual improvements to its existing products. That means making Macs with faster chips, thinner designs and touch screens. Its iPads will become more versatile, with larger displays and foldable models. Apple Watches will get blood pressure and glucose monitoring. And the company will try to make its iPhones even more indispensable, with new designs, cameras and AI features.”

Gurman further reiterates some of the information shared earlier, which includes the following –

  • New designs of iPhone including iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Plus with cameras and AI features
  • iPad with larger displays
  • iPad foldable are also expected
  • Mac with touch screens, thinner builds and faster chips
  • Apple Watch with new health sensors for blood pressure and glucose

Some of these changes such as touch screens in the Mac and foldable iPads sound exciting. If successful, these will be significant changes in the overall Apple product portfolio.

Meanwhile, Gurman also shared the timeline for Apple’s 2nd generation of Apple Vision Pro.

We recently reported that supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has hinted that Apple is delaying a cheaper Apple Vision headset to concentrate on the next Vision Pro upgrade lineup for next year.

Now according to Gurman, the next-generation Apple Vision Pro is expected to be launched sometime between September 2025 and April 2026.

Certain reports have indicated that Apple is planning on a massive upgrade for Vision Pro 2 with the upcoming M5 chip.

The current model features an M2 chip, which was the latest when released but now is quite outdated due to the release of the M3 and M4 chips.

As for the design, the Apple Vision Pro 2 will most likely be similar to the current Apple Vision Pro. Bloomberg report mentions, “Apple is working on several ideas for its Vision headset line, but at least one version of the second-generation Vision Pro — assuming it’s released — will look almost entirely like the current design. The big changes are internal, including a processor upgrade.”

Some reports have noted that something similar like the new Wide and Ultra Wide display options recently released in the Mac Virtual Display in visionOS 2.2 could be a great addition to the Apple Vision Pro mode.

We have been hearing about the next iPhone 17 for months and most reports have hinted that Apple will be focusing on design this time. Some previous reports have claimed that the upcoming iPhone 17 Air mode will be the “ultra-slim” iPhone ever.

In Apple’s initial iPhone 17 Airs design layout, the battery technology was planned to be thinner than the current models.

While Apple fans have been excitedly waiting for the slim iPhone, the latest reports can sound discouraging.

According to a supply chain report, Apple might not be able to make the iPhone 17 Air as slim as it initially planned.

The latest word on this has been shared by a popular Korean blogger Lanzuk on Naver.

According to the blog post, Apple initially planned on making the iPhone 17 thinner based on using a newer battery with thin internal components.

However, the Cupertino giant has hit some roadblocks already with issues with battery cost, manufacturing consistency and other technical issues.

The iPhone 17 Air could still be the slimmest iPhone till now , but not as slim as expected

The blog mentions that Apple is now looking at a battery that is around 6mm thick. While the blog doesn’t share any details about what this could mean for the iPhone thickness, it does mention that Apple was planning on bigger battery capacity as well.

In its report, MacRumors notes that the iPhone 6 for now is known as the thinnest iPhone model.

For comparison, the iPhone 6 measured 6.9mm in thickness, the iPhone 6 Plus measured 7.1mm and the latest iPhone Phone 16 is 7.80mm.

Meanwhile, Apple is not the only brand facing issues with making its upcoming devices as slim as they hoped.

The same Korean blog that shared the recent update on Apple iPhone 17 Air also shared Samsung’s struggle with its upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 ‘Slim’ model.

According to the Korean blog, Samsung is facing issues with the mass production of thinner motherboards.

The Korean manufacturer is reportedly facing delays in production due to supplier issues.

However, it does mention that Samsung has found some success in using new materials for the thin battery, unlike Apple.

As of now, there is no word on how slim the Galaxy S25 Slim is going to be. We have the thinnest Galaxy S24 model as the vanilla phone at 7.6mm.

If the latest reports are to be believed, we can expect both the iPhone 17 Slim and Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim to be released sometime in the second half of 2025.

FAQs

Q1. Why might Apple not make the iPhone 17 Air as slim as initially planned?

Answer. Apple might not make the iPhone 17 Air as slim as initially planned due to issues with battery cost, manufacturing consistency, and other technical problems.

Q2. What issues is Samsung facing with the production of the Galaxy S25 Slim?

Answer. Samsung is facing production delays for its Galaxy S25 Slim due to thinner motherboard production issues but has had some success using new materials for the thin battery.

Q3. When are the iPhone 17 Slim and Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim expected to be released?

Answer. Both the iPhone 17 Slim and Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim are expected to be released in the second half of 2025.

Apple Watches is one of the most premium consumer tech products today that offers advanced health tracking features.

In the past few years, more and more people are relying on Apple watches for basic health tracking needs.

The one thing that separates Apple watches from other smartwatch companies is its accuracy based on advanced tracking features and precise sensors.

Now, recent reports suggest Apple is working on taking things a step further by exploring new ways to embed health sensors directly into the bands of future Apple Watch models.

In November 2024, the US Patent and Trademark Office granted Apple 38 new patents. Out of these, patent number 12133743 titled “Fabric-based items with stretchable bands” has highlighted by Patently Apple for how Apple is developing watch straps with stretchable fabric and adding sensors on them. These sensors would measure various health metrics including blood pressure and respiratory rates.

In its report sharing the patent details, Patently Apple writes, “The wearable device may be a wrist band with elastic fabric, a headband with elastic fabric, or other wearable items that includes elastic fabric (e.g., a hat, an undergarment worn on a user’s torso or lower body, a shirt, pants, shorts (e.g., bicycle shorts, board shorts, or other snugly fitting clothing), yoga clothing or other athletic attire, an armband, an elastic belt, a sock, a glove, etc.”

Apple already offers stretchy fabric bands for its watches, so it’s possible we could see these sensor-equipped straps in the next generation of Apple Watches. The patent also describes how the fabric’s circuitry might receive wireless power, allowing the strap to be charged without cables.

Apple reportedly has also suggested this technology could also work in a headband with elastic fabric similar to the one on the Vision Pro headset.

While Apple isn’t the first to explore this idea as Huawei’s Watch D2 already monitors blood pressure from its band.

However, this new patent highlights the commitment of the brand to offering its users more sophisticated wearable health tech.

Moreover, the patent mentions that these bands could be made resilient to high temperatures, which makes them suitable for use in extreme climates.

Here’s a list of all patents granted to Apple in 2023

Tipster shared that the smartphone will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite processor

It is also mentioned that this upcoming foldable is going to be lightweight and slim at 9mm compared to other similar segment devices.

It will have a metal frame and support for wireless magnetic charging.

The tip in wireless magnetic charging can be corroborated with the previously released Find X8 back teaser video, which had similar hint for Find N5.

One of the most interesting feature shared in the tip is how upcoming Find N5 is going to be compatible with Apple’s ecosystem.

As per reports, the feature will apparently allow easy sharing of photos, videos and other important files between an iPhone and Android smartphone.

This could be the the “Share with iPhone” feature we have seen in Android 15 skin of both Oppo and OnePlus. Users will have to install an app on the iPhone to use this feature.

Apart from the recent tip on Wiebo, we have had previous rumours about Fine N5.

As per previous reports, the upcoming Find N5 will have dual-cell battery configuration (2,460mAh + 3,105mAh) with a rated capacity of 5,565mAh with an actual battery capacity of 5,700mAh.

Highlights

  • Reports confirm spotting a Samsung Galaxy S25 variant.
  • The phone appears with model number ‘SM-S937U’ in the GSMA IMEI database.
  • The model number sequence aligns with other Galaxy S25 series variants.
  • Announcement is expected in Q2 2025.

We have previously reported based on a Korean website leak that Samsung is working on a Galaxy S25 slim variant to be released along with three expected Galaxy S25 models.

While tech enthusiasts and online community is still on the speculation mode, a new Smartprix report has revealed spotting a “mysterious” 4th model of Galay S25 series online confirming the previous reports.

According to a recent report, Smartprix team apparently spotted an upcoming Samsung Galaxy smartphone with model number ‘SM-S937U’ in the GSMA IMEI database.

While this seem like a regular Galaxy phone to few, Smartprix team inferred that this phone is part of Galaxy S25 series based on the model number sequence that matches previously revealed Galaxy S25 series other variant’s model number.

A closer look at Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series model numbers shows that the Galaxy S25 has a model numbers “SM-S931”, Galaxy S25+ “SM-S936” and Galaxy S25 Ultra “SM-S938”.

Now, the recently model number perfectly fits into this sequence, which means it is confirmed to be a part of the Galaxy S25 series.

As for the ‘U’ at the end of recently discovered model number ‘SM-S937U’, it stands of US. This means the mysterious smartphone discovered in the US variant of the device. However, we can expect the Korean brand to soon add other region variants in the database as well.

Samsung’s history with thin smartphones is almost a decade old.

Last time we heard about a slim Samsung phone was back in March 2014 when the brand announce Galaxy S5. The smartphone had a thickness of 8.1mm.

Compared to this, Samsung came up with a thinner phone Galaxy Alpha with 6.7mm thickness just few months after.

And now, a decade later, we are again getting reports of Samsung designing a thin smartphone.

Samsung now developing a slim variant of their popular flagship is understandable considering reports of Apple developing a slim iPhone 17 has been doing rounds for a quite a while.

However, these are all just speculations and rumours as of now. We aren’t even sure if the new mysterious phone will be the thin variant or if the brand name it something like “Galaxy S25 Slim.”

According to certain reports, the company traditionally adds upcoming smartphones in databases around 6-7 months before. Based on this, we can expect Samsung to announce Galaxxy S25 model sometime in the second quarter of 2025.

Q1. What recent discovery confirms earlier rumors of a Samsung Galaxy S25 slim variant?

Q2. How does the model number ‘SM-S937U’ fit into the Galaxy S25 series lineup?

Answer. The model number sequence aligns with other Galaxy S25 series variants, suggesting it is part of the Galaxy S25 lineup. The ‘U’ at the end indicates it is the US version of the device.

Q3. When can we expect the announcement of the Galaxy S25 slim model?

Sunny Optical’s Apple lens orders are gradually recovering from 2H24, with an estimated market share of about 5% in 2024.

We just saw the iPhone 16 series launch and rumours about the next iPhone 17 have started giving us a sneak peak of what’s coming from Apple in 2025.

If you thought the Apple world of rumours will settle at that, you thought wrong. While there is no iPhone 17 on sight as of now, word is already leaking about iPhone 18.

A recent report suggested some key details about iPhone 18 Pro and it got the online tech rightfully community excited.

Trusted supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who is known for correctly predicting aspects of future Apple lineups several times, recently shared that the Cupertino giant is planning a significant camera upgrade for iPhones in 2026.

According to Kuo, Apple is developing a variable aperture lens for iPhone 18 Pro, expected to hit the streets in 2026.

Assuming Kuo is right about this like he is most of the time, we will be seeing such tech on an iPhone for the first time.

In his recent blog post that talked about Apple’s supply chain relationships as the company is in the process of developing iPhone 17 and iPhone 18, Kuo wrote, “One major upgrade for the 2026 high-end iPhone 18 is the wide-camera lens upgrading to a variable aperture camera, significantly enhancing the user photography experience. My latest industry survey indicates Sunny Optical will be the primary shutter supplier (with Luxshare as secondary) and the second variable aperture lens supplier (after Largan Precision).”

Variable aperture allows main camera lens to physically adjust its aperture size (opening) and control the amount of light reaching the camera sensor.

Sunny Optical’s Apple lens orders are gradually recovering from 2H24, with an estimated market share of about 5% in 2024.

This tech in iPhones will provide significant improvements in low-light photography, offer enhanced depth of field control and overall more versatility in photography across different environment and lighting conditions.

While Kuo is a solid source to believe possibilities for future Apple products, this is not the first time we are hearing about Apple adding variable aperture in iPhones.

Previously we have had The Information also reporting that Apple was working on getting the a variable aperture lens to iPhones.

The only difference in the recent Kuo prediction and what The Information suggested is that according to the later, the camera upgrade plans were for one of the iPhone 17 model in 2025.

However, now with Kuo prediction, it appears that either Apple has changed its plan or the camera upgrade has been delayed to iPhone 18 due to some other production challenge.

In any case, we expect since word is out, more details will emerge on this sooner or later. Anyhow, this has Apple fans excited and talking for now.

FAQs

Q1. What significant camera upgrade is expected for the iPhone 18 Pro in 2026?

Answer. Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the iPhone 18 Pro in 2026 will feature a variable aperture camera, significantly enhancing the user photography experience.

Q2. What advantage does the variable aperture camera provide?

Answer. Variable aperture allows the main camera lens to adjust its aperture size, improving low-light photography, depth of field control, and overall versatility in different environments.

Q3. When is iPhone 18 coming out?

Answer. The iPhone 18 is expected to be released in 2026. However, no specific launch date has been announced yet.

Apple iPhone 15 series tops global smartphone sales in the third quarter of 2024 in Counterpoint Research’s latest rankings.

While the standard iPhone 15 snatches the top spot, the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro followed closely behind for second and third position on the rankings respectively.

The third quarter ranking shows a complete dominance of Apple taking over the top 3 spots in the global top-10 best-selling smartphones list.

For the first time in a third quarter, Pro models accounted for half of all iPhone sales.

On the other hand, we have Samsung with the most number of phones in the top 10 list. Samsung’s strong presence is maintained by four Samsung A series smartphones making it in the top 10.

Apart from this, the Galaxy S24 also continued to be in the top 10 for the third consecutive quarter. It’s also the first time since 2018 that a Galaxy S model has been in the top 10.

The top 10 smartphone models accounted for 19% of global sales in Q3 2024.

When it comes to market share, Samsung managed to get the maximum five spots in the best-selling smartphones list and Apple remained closely behind with four iPhones on the list. This left only one spot for Xiaomi, which was grabbed by Redmi 13C.

The rankings are very similar to what we have seen last year.

This suggests that primary consumer behaviour has not changed too much from the last quarter.

The Q3 2024 rankings highlight a major shift in the smartphone industry where the global demand for premium smartphones is on the rise.

The sale numbers of iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro are very close, which shows equal interest in both standard and high-end devices.

We can say that Apple’s marketing, payment options and trade-in deals have also helped the company ensure its latest iPhones reach more people mainly in emerging economies.

Samsung’s success was mainly because of the growing popularity of Galaxy S24, which included advanced GenAI features.

But the S24 is not the only best-performing smartphone from Samsung.

Samsung’s Galaxy A series, which is known for its affordability and long-term software support, took four spots in the top 10 owing to its popularity in developing markets.

Xiaomi’s Redmi 13C remained in the top 10 due to its low price and improvements over the previous Redmi 12C model.
