Why This Event Matters
2025 will bring one of the biggest updates to the iPhone's design that we've seen since the 2017 iPhone X, making this event particularly significant for Apple enthusiasts and tech watchers alike.
The introduction of the iPhone 17 Air represents Apple's boldest design move in years, potentially setting the stage for how smartphones will look and feel in the coming decade. This new iPhone is expected to replace the existing Plus line and will sport a significantly thinner design and a larger display.
