Docks iPhone 16 sales are in full swingrumors about the upcoming iPhone 17 Air do not subside — this is not just a new Apple smartphone, but a potentially complete rethinking of the lineup, which will offer «radically» new design and technology.
But will it live up to the hype? We have collected everything that is known about the upcoming iPhone 17 Air, based on information from reliable sources (via gizmochina).
1. Design
According to a number of reports, the iPhone 17 Air (or Slim) could be the thinnest model in Apple’s smartphone lineup thanks to the use of OLED TDDI technology, which combines touchscreen and display functions in a single layer. In addition, it can provide improved image quality and touch sensitivity, as well as reduce power consumption.
2. Display
The iPhone 17 Air is likely to have a 6.4-inch OLED display (a choice aimed at improving the slim profile and ergonomics of the smartphone), as well as an ultra-hard reflective coating that is more scratch-resistant than Ceramic Shield.
The ProMotion technology is expected to deliver smooth refresh rates of up to 120 Hz and brighter colors.
3. Performance
The device can also get a next-generation A19 processor (N3P or N3X) and 8 GB of RAM. As for storage, the standard variants will start from 128 GB and up to 1 TB.
4. Camera
There is no reliable information about the iPhone 17 Air camera system yet. Some rumors indicate that the main camera will have a single lens instead of the usual complex configuration with several, and the entire iPhone 17 lineup (including the Air model) will receive a 24-megapixel front camera.
5. Cost
The iPhone 17 Air is supposed to replace the Plus in the lineup, but it can hardly be called a budget model. Instead, Apple can position the smartphone as a premium version that potentially surpasses the Pro Max.
The upcoming iPhone SE 4 will have iPhone 15 cameras, A18 chip and Apple’s first 5G modem, — 9to5Mac
