Apple's iPhone lineup is said to undergo significant changes with the introduction of new models like iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 19, and iPhone Foldable according to leaked reports.
The leaked iPhone roadmap suggests a shift towards a six-month release cycle, with more affordable models in the first half and premium models in the second half, making it harder for consumers to choose.
The shift in strategy resembles Samsung's approach, offering more phone options that are fairly similar but may require users to compromise on features, leading to a more fragmented iPhone lineup.
The changes in Apple's smartphone lineup may pose challenges for users accustomed to having all features in a single device, as the proliferation of new models could make decision-making between safety and technological advancements more challenging.
