The iPhone 17 is without a doubt one of the most anticipated models of recent years, judging by the rumors about this new generation, which, if it repeats the cycle of recent years, will arrive this fall. According to Gurman, it’s all but confirmed that we’ll see updated design for iPhone 17, Pro and Pro Max. And most importantly: a new model that it could be called the iPhone 17 Air which will replace the Plus models.
The company’s idea, according to a prominent analyst, is to use its innovations in miniaturization and a new generation of chips to produce the thinnest iPhone to date. According to Gurman, Apple hopes this new thin model from its Air line will perform better in the market than the Plus and iPhone mini of recent years.
iPhone 17 Air it will be about 2 millimeters thinner than existing iPhones and will use the company’s first internal modem (whose codename is Sinope), and which we will also see for the first time in the new iPhone SE in the spring, around March or April. It will feature an A19 chip and a single-lens camera, perhaps the least eye-catching spec of this rumored new iPhone.
iPhone 17 Air: halfway between iPhone 17 and Pro
The idea is to launch it alongside the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro, offer a much thinner design than the iPhone 6 (the thinnest Apple has made), and include a lot of innovations that have so far been limited to the Pro line. such as ProMotion and Always-on Display technology.
The rest of the rumors about this iPhone 17 Air leave little to the imagination: very thin design below 6 mmA 6.6-inch screen with technologies from the aforementioned Pro models, a single 48 MP rear camera, an A19 processor and 8 GB of RAM, which, as could not be otherwise, ensures full support for Apple Intelligence, especially before its introduction in the new markets.
Another one of its highlights will be Apple’s own 5G modem, which has been in development for years and has cost periodic disputes with Qualcomm in the past, but which has always been Apple’s ideal for connecting its devices. However, it will not be exclusive to the iPhone 17 and is expected in the iPhone SE. Be that as it may, this is something more important for Apple than for the user, for whom this should be something completely transparent, but interesting for the future.
