Walking on Air?

Now, I’m not totally convinced that the rumoured iPhone 17 Air – the super-slim handset expected from Apple, hot on the heels of Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge – will show face at WWDC.
It’s just not really the forum for it, with software being the main focus. However, as Samsung has already showed its hand, there is greater incentive for Apple to try and one-up its opponent.
I would love to see the popcorn fly, so if Apple was to tease the apparent 17 Air later this evening, I’d be so here for it. But I, for one, don’t expect it to happen just yet…
What’s in a number?

The latest iPhone handsets have iOS 18 on board, so you’d think the next logical step is iOS 19? Possibly not!
The rumours suggest that iOS 26 will be the name/number, aligning Apple’s operating system with the year for which it’s destined, rather than the iteration.
It’s also suggested that this leap from iOS 19 to 26 will be represented visually, too, with a huge design language change expected – in what’s dubbed ‘Liquid Glass’ design.
The reason for the name? Everything is going to be translucent, almost to the point of transparent, so we’ll look forward to getting a closer view of that later today, when WWDC kicks off proper.
Well, hello there…
