iPhone 17 Air will have many new features

A report from The Information said that Apple will release an ultra-thin iPhone model called the iPhone 17 Air in 2025 to replace the iPhone 17 Plus with a 6.6-inch screen, upgraded to ProMotion technology, 120Hz refresh rate (twice as high as the iPhone 16 Plus), providing a better gaming and movie viewing experience.

According to leaked sources, the iPhone 17 generation launched in September 2025 will have many major changes. This is expected to be a product line that Apple trusts with its super-thin design.

- ProMotion display

According to sources, the iPhone 17 Air could be equipped with a TDDI OLED screen to bring the thinnest design ever.

It is known that the OLED TDDI (Touch and Display Driver Intergration) screen was recently launched by the Taiwanese company Novatek. TDDI technology combines the touch sensor and driver into one layer to create an ultra-thin panel. Thanks to this solution, smartphones are reduced by a few millimeters in thickness.

In addition, display analyst Ross Young said all four iPhone 17 models will be equipped with 120Hz ProMotion.

- Ultra-thin design:

According to Mark Gurman, the iPhone 17 Air is about 2mm thinner than the 8.25mm on the iPhone 16 Pro. This will be the thinnest iPhone ever announced by Apple.

- A19 Chip

It is likely that the iPhone 17 Air will use the A19 chip. This is the first chip manufactured on the 2nm process, which makes it more powerful and efficient than any other chip on the market. This chip will help the device improve single- and multi-core performance as well as energy efficiency.

- Self-developed wifi chip

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the iPhone 17 series will use Apple's own wifi chip to save costs for the company compared to using third-party solutions. In addition, the self-developed modem also helps Apple proactively create thinner phones.

- Single camera

With its ultra-thin size, the iPhone 17 Air will only use one wide-angle lens instead of 2 or 3 like the other versions. In addition, analysts say that reducing the thickness could reduce the battery life of the device unless Apple finds a way to free up space for components.

- The most expensive iPhone ever:

The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to be very expensive, positioned similarly to the Ultra line on the Apple Watch. The iPhone 17 is expected to start at $799, the 17 Pro is $1,099, the 17 Pro Max is $1,199 while the 17 Air is the most expensive at $1,299.

- Self-developed 5G modem

The iPhone 17 Air will be one of three devices using Apple's custom 5G modem in 2025, alongside the iPhone SE and a low-cost iPad model. It is known that Apple has focused on tightly integrating components to optimize space in the iPhone while still ensuring the quality of the battery, camera and screen.
