Replaced

It is the rereading of the rumor, a weekly chronicle in 9TO5MAC Offering a quick overview of the most recent Apple product rumors, with analysis and comments. Today: major leaks for the iPhone 17, iPhone 18 Pro, a new size `Max ” and more covering 2026 and beyond. Here are the Apple rumors of this week.

IPhone 18 release schedule and professional design change

It was a big week for new iPhone leaks, with details for launches covering 2026 and 2027.

The iPhone 18 range of next year would have at least two major changes:

1. The iPhone 18 of the base will not be launched next fall, but will be in place for spring 2027 alongside a new iPhone 18th
2. The iPhone 18 Pro models will have a small camera hole in the upper left corner and will drop the dynamic cut of the island

The new professional design would be a precursor of a design without cutting which begins the following year.

My take -out dishes

Apple is preparing for a very big year before the 20th anniversary of the iPhone.

With professional redesigned models launched next year, alongside the first iPhone fold and a new air, the fall range seems particularly solid.

But then launching two new iPhones – the 18 and 18th – the following spring is also impressive. This change of version calendar is a major change, but it could be excellent for iPhone sales.

Iphone 17 air battery case to come

Although the previous reports on the iPhone 17 indicated that the battery life will not suffer too much from the ultra-thin design, Information This week said the opposite.

By Their reportApple internal tests estimate that 60 to 70% of iPhone 17 users will be able to spend a whole day without loading. This is compared to 80 to 90% for other models.

Apple would therefore have the preparation of a new battery case exclusively for the Air model. It will be sold as an optional accessory.

My take -out dishes

I am a little torn into this report, in particular with regard to the percentage ranges of the comparison of the batteries.

If you compare the lower end of the air estimate to the speakers for other models, this difference from 60% to 90% is enormous. But if a more realistic comparison is 70% to 80%, I could see the air perfectly well for most users.

My assumption? The air will have a decent battery life, nothing particularly poor. But the battery case will be a solid option for users who always need more juice.

iPhone air “max” in progress

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is already working on a larger version of its next iPhone Air model.

Kuo says that the air of this year’s iPhone 17 will be followed by an 18 air next year which is the same size.

But in 2027, the display of 6.6 inches of air should increase for iPhone 19 air. We do not know exactly what Apple size targets, but somewhere near the 6.9 -inch screen of Pro Max seems likely.

My take -out dishes

We had already heard that the iPhone 17 Air was originally prototype With a larger display. It seems that the biggest screen returns in a few years.

I am not a fan of huge iPhones personally, because I always prefer to have the possibility of use with one hand. But the market has always shown that most people like big phones, so this decision is a natural evolution for air.

The three main themes of WWDC

Anticipation increases for WWDC next month and the great unveiling of Apple from iOS 19, iPados 19, MacOS 16 and more.

This week, Mark Gurman said that the conference would have three major themes:

1. Redesigned and more cohesive operating systems
2. New Apple Intelligence Capacity
3. Major improvements to the iPad operating system

My take -out dishes

We have known for some time that the versions of the redesigned operating system would be a huge highlight of WWDC.

I am happy to hear, however, that Gurman thinks that IA upgrades and iPados productivity features will also be important.

I have always seen the deployments of Apple Intelligence from last year as throwing a foundation. They were not supposed to be Apple’s last word in the AI ​​region. Consequently, I hope for strong improvements from one year to another, because the company seeks to establish its base on a highly competitive market.

What are your take -out meals of this week’s apple rumors? Let us know in the comments.
