The configuration for the m5 pro MacBook I bought last month just jumped by nearly $500 ($2799 --> $3299) on the Apple site.

There are 3 major drawbacks when it comes to this specific model that many owners have expressed
- Only 1 speaker (earphone) and its not very loud (for speakerphone and media consumption)
- single camera doesn't have great zoom capabilities
- battery life can be an issue for power users
Now its not guaranteed the next revision fixes any of those compromises for such a small thin phone.BUT IMHO its worth the wait if you can, because IF those issues are fixed it's a instant-buy for me (with trade in of course) but if you buy this current model and the new one fixes those issues I'd definitely be kicking myself
If this phone goes $500 or less soon I may get one. Sales haven't been great. Apple seems to be trying to find a "Middle Child" in their iphone lineup and it doesn't seem to be working. They keep on killing them off after a few years.
It was the Iphone mini 12 and 13 - discontinued. Then it was the 14/15/16 Plus - discontinued. Now its the Air, I do think they have a potential winner here if they can fix the few caveats that turn people off to this current model.

Both will probably never release.

Indeed, it is not worth buying these models now unless heavily discounted. The Air with its single camera is not worth $800+ anyway, in my opinion. It is just not a practical phone.
Fall 2026: iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Foldable
Spring 2026: iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2
Both will probably never release.
