JAKARTA Apple plans to launch the iPhone 19 Air with a larger screen in the second half of 2027. According to a recent report from industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 19 Air will have a larger screen than the iPhone 18 Air, which is scheduled to launch one year earlier.

Although there are no specific details regarding the size of the screen, Kuo said that this device will be larger than the "18 Slim" model, which likely refers to Apple's new ultra-thin line.

Apple seems to be expanding its water line in an effort to diversify their product portfolio. This is considered a response to fierce competition, particularly in the Chinese market. Kuo also indicated that Apple began implementing a two-time launch schedule a year starting in 2026, which is a major change in its previous annual release pattern.

Previously, the rumored iPhone 17 Air would have a 6.6-inch display, making it bigger than the standard iPhone 17 but smaller than the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

IPhone Folding And New Innovation

In addition to the Air line expansion, Apple is also said to be introducing the first foldable iPhone by the end of 2026, followed by the second generation in 2027 along with the iPhone 19 Air. This shows that Apple is developing a variety of new form factors to compete in the global smartphone market.

Interestingly, 2027 will mark 20 years since the launch of the first iPhone, and at least one of the iPhone models released in the year is said to be carrying an edge-to-edge screen design without bezels.

With this ambitious plan, Apple seems ready to present a major breakthrough in smartphone innovation. Will iPhone 19 Air and fold iPhone be game-changers in the industry? We look forward to it together!
