| 12 Features on the Upcoming iPhone 17 Air |
About the ultra-thin design: According to The Information, the iPhone 17 Air will have a "significantly thinner" design with an aluminum frame, instead of a titanium case like Apple's Pro models.
Rumors about the iPhone 17 Air's thickness hover around 6mm. But according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the device could be just 5.5mm thick at its thinnest point.
If this information is correct, the iPhone 17 Air will become the thinnest iPhone model ever, thinner than the iPhone 6 (6.9mm) from 2014.
About the screen: According to analyst Jeff Pu, the iPhone 17 Air will have a 6.6-inch screen. This is also agreed by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Apple will equip the iPhone 17 Air with ProMotion technology, a refresh rate of 120Hz for smoother scrolling. In addition, according to Instant Digital, a leak source on China's Weibo, all iPhone 17 models are equipped with anti-glare screens with better scratch resistance than the Ceramic Shield layer on the iPhone 15. Therefore, this feature will also appear on the iPhone 17 Air.
Regarding the camera: Mr. Kuo said that the entire iPhone 17 series, including the iPhone 17 Air, will be equipped with a 24MP front camera with a 6-element lens, which helps photos retain good quality even when cropped or zoomed in, while the larger number of pixels will help capture more details. The upgrade to a 6-element lens will slightly improve image quality.
Regarding RAM and new chips: analyst Jeff Pu said the iPhone 17 Air will be equipped with 8GB RAM, compared to 6GB RAM on the iPhone 15 Plus. This is also the minimum RAM level to be able to use Apple Intelligence.
The iPhone 17 Air will be powered by Apple's A19 chip, likely based on an optimized version of TSMC's 3nm process, possibly N3P or N3X, according to analyst Jeff Pu.
About the C1 modem and Wi-Fi 7 chip: Apple will equip the iPhone 17 Air with a C1 modem developed by the company. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, at least one iPhone 17 model will be equipped with an Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip. He also confirmed that the 17 Air will be equipped with a C1 modem as rumored.
As for price: The Information reports that the iPhone 17 Air could cost more than the Pro Max, which currently starts at $1,199, although it won't have many of the premium features found on Apple's flagship Max line.
However, analyst Jeff Pu said the iPhone 17 Air will be the mid-range iPhone model to replace the Plus version. In addition, a report from China also said that the price of the iPhone 17 Air will be equivalent to the iPhone 16 Plus, starting at $ 899 in the US market.
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17 generation next September, including the following models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. From now until the launch date, there will certainly be more leaked information about these new iPhone models.
