Today: an iPhone-centric roundup of iPhone 17, 18, and Fold rumors, plus the latest M5 iPad Pro update. Here are this week\u2019s Apple rumors.<\/p>\n<p>All the latest iPhone 17 updates<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/iphone-17.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone 17 Pro Max\" class=\"wp-image-947127\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>This week brought a trio of updates regarding the soon-to-be-revealed iPhone 17 lineup:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>iPhone 17<\/strong>: Majin Bu said Apple is <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/06\/20\/rumor-iphone-17-green-purple-colors\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">testing purple and green<\/a> as new color options for the base iPhone 17.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iPhone 17 Air<\/strong>: My colleague Jeff <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/06\/23\/ios-26-beta-2-provides-first-possible-confirmation-of-iphone-17-air-resolution\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> that code in iOS 26 beta 2 seems to confirm the 1260 x 2736 display resolution of the upcoming 17 Air model.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max<\/strong>: Majin Bu <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/06\/23\/new-leak-hints-at-vapor-chamber-cooling-coming-to-iphone-17-pro\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">shared<\/a> a \u201cpre-production image\u201d of the vapor chamber system being added to boost cooling of the Pro hardware.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My takeaways<\/p>\n<p>None of the iPhone 17 rumors this week are particularly surprising, but that\u2019s normal for this time of year.<\/p>\n<p>With Apple expected to unveil its iPhone 17 lineup in less than three months, there\u2019s very little about the new models that hasn\u2019t previously been reported. Now, most of the new rumors will simply offer corroboration and more in-depth knowledge of what\u2019s already been leaked. That\u2019s what we got this week.<\/p>\n<p>iPhone 18 Pro, Fold, and beyond<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/iPhone-20th-anniversary-mockup-ios26-03.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone 20th Anniversary concept\" class=\"wp-image-1006433\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Continuing the trend of an iPhone-centric rumor week, several reports outlined what to expect from next year\u2019s iPhone 18 Pro, Fold, and even future models beyond 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Digital Chat Station <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/06\/19\/leaker-doubles-down-on-two-key-display-changes-for-the-iphone-18-pro\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reiterated a claim<\/a> we\u2019ve heard before, that the iPhone 18 Pro would move Face ID components under the display\u2014thus leaving only a small camera cutout remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly though, just days later display analyst Ross Young outlined his conflicting expectations for the next several years of iPhone display evolutions. He anticipates:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>2026<\/strong>: Smaller Dynamic Island, but not eliminated<\/li>\n<li><strong>2028<\/strong>: No Dynamic Island, just a camera cutout<\/li>\n<li><strong>2030<\/strong>: All-screen design with no cutouts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, Digital Chat Station <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/06\/26\/new-iphone-fold-leak-details-display-size-cameras-and-more\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">shared new details<\/a> on next year\u2019s iPhone Fold, with a slightly smaller inner display than previously expected, two 48MP rear lenses, and more.<\/p>\n<p>My takeaways<\/p>\n<p>Ross Young seems to be at odds with not only Digital Chat Station, but also <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/05\/03\/iphone-18-pro-will-have-a-curious-design-choice-if-this-rumor-is-true\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wayne Ma<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/05\/14\/20th-anniversary-iphone-to-be-totally-bezel-free-have-hi-tech-battery-report\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple sources have indicated Face ID components would be moved under the display for the iPhone 18 Pro\u2014including Young himself <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/05\/14\/iphone-18-pro-with-in-display-face-id-now-looks-very-likely\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">very recently<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And we\u2019ve also been expecting an all-glass 20th anniversary model in 2027, though that\u2019s not as heavily supported by reporting.<\/p>\n<p>Young\u2019s new roadmap for display changes pushes both of these milestones back significantly. Perhaps Apple has encountered obstacles that changed its plans? In any case, I\u2019ll be curious to see if other analysts corroborate Young\u2019s latest.<\/p>\n<p>M5 iPad Pro production update<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ipad-pro-m5-apple-pencil.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1003886\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re expecting a fall launch for the next iPad Pro, which will boast Apple\u2019s new M5 chip. And a supply chain update this week brought further confirmation of that timeline.<\/p>\n<p>ZDNet Korea <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/06\/25\/2025-ipad-pro-production-underway-but-pricing-expected-to-deter-many\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> that Samsung and LG have kicked off mass production of the OLED panels coming to the new M5 iPad Pro. Production began earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>My takeaways<\/p>\n<p>This is great news that should all but guarantee a fall launch for the M5 iPad Pro, like we were expecting.<\/p>\n<p>The timing of new hardware will align perfectly with <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/06\/09\/ipados-26-announced-with-new-design-windowing-system-files-upgrades-more\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPadOS 26\u2019s wide release<\/a>, and serve as the best demonstration yet of how powerful the iPad\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/06\/25\/ipados-26-feels-like-apple-finally-taking-ipads-training-wheels-off\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">getting this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What are your takeaways from this week\u2019s Apple rumors?
