This much is clear: the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro are just around the corner, the iPhone 17 series will arrive in autumn 2025 and so on. Customers have long been able to set the clock according to Apple’s annual iPhone releases. While the generational steps were once huge, now progress is slower and requires detailed refinements.
