Tim Cook sees iPhone still has room for big innovation in the future, with the iPhone 17 Air this year and possibly the foldable iPhone 18 Fold next year.

Although the design of each iPhone model has not changed much in the past few years, with only minor improvements, Tim Cook confirmed in the latest shareholder meeting that the iPhone will come with big innovations that will change the history of Apple and are products that push the boundaries of creativity.

During the earnings call, Tim Cook went on to say that the iPhone still has a lot of room for new innovations, and Tim Cook himself is excited to look ahead, especially with confidence in the direction of product development.

While these words from Tim Cook do not indicate many specific details, in the past, Apple’s new smartphone development plans have become clearer, such as the plan to launch the iPhone 17 Air later this year, which comes with an ultra-thin body.

Then next year, if everything goes according to Apple’s plan, we may see the first foldable iPhone in the company’s history, which may come under the name iPhone 18 Fold, similar to the old clamshell phones and comparable to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.

At present, the smartphone market is driven by premium mobile phones. Therefore, the development of smartphones from now on is not just a slight change in appearance, but must have a part that creates a shock to the smartphone industry.

Of course, if Apple can launch the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 18 Fold and succeed, it may prove that the Apple brand is still the leader in the smartphone industry.
