The iPhone 16th already has a replacement, 2 months after its release

Apple has just presented, mid-February,Its new iPhone 16th. The smartphone, designed as a suite of the iPhone SE, is an entry -level version, the iPhone 16 sold since last September. If the first weeks of this 16th go well, Cupertino's eggs would already think about it.

At least that is what the media 9to5mac assures. In a recent article, they mention a “source” having confirmed themthe upcoming arrival of the iPhone 17th. While Apple did not update its range of iPhone, every 2 to 3 years, the Cupertino firm could work on an iPhone 17th next year.

So we could end up with a 5th iPhone next year. A cheaper version, but also less complete than the others. When we see the level of difference between the iPhone 16 and the 16th, we are nevertheless entitled to wonder what will be the criteria that will justifyA price difference of almost 300 euros.

iPhone 17th: the same?

Still according to the same source, the development of the iPhone 17th would have been led by Apple at the same time as that ofl’iPhone 17.The smartphone would be “very advanced”At a time when we write these lines. If an outing at the beginning of 2026 always seems to be the track privileged by Apple, it would be a simple marketing choice, and not due to an offbeat production.

But then faced with rumors as sure of themselves, one wonders what could this iPhone 17th look like? Unfortunately, you may be disappointed by the answer. Apple may indeed make few changes from one year to another.

The iPhone 17th would have the right to a few developments, but they will remain minor. The processor will surely evolve, just like storage capacity or RAM. For the rest, the design should not move. We could expect a slight increase in autonomy, already very good on the iPhone 16th with the arrival of Modem C1.
