While sales of the iPhone 16 are in full swing, rumors about the upcoming iPhone 17 Air continue to circulate — this isn't just another Apple smartphone, but a potential complete rethinking of the lineup, which will introduce a "radically" new design and technology.
But will it live up to the hype? We've gathered everything currently known about the future iPhone 17 Air from reliable sources (via gizmochina).
1. Design
According to various reports, the iPhone 17 Air (or Slim) could become the thinnest model in Apple's smartphone lineup, thanks to the use of OLED TDDI technology, which combines touchscreen and display functions into a single layer. Additionally, it may offer enhanced image quality and touch sensitivity, while also reducing power consumption.
2. Display
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a 6.4-inch OLED display (a choice aimed at improving the slim profile and ergonomics of the smartphone), along with a highly durable reflective coating that is more scratch-resistant than Ceramic Shield.
It is anticipated that ProMotion technology will enable a smooth refresh rate of up to 120 Hz and more vibrant colors.
3. Performance
The device may also include a next-generation A19 processor (N3P or N3X) and 8 GB of RAM. As for storage, options will likely start at 128 GB and go up to 1 TB.
4. Camera
Reliable information regarding the camera system of the iPhone 17 Air is currently lacking. Some rumors suggest that the primary camera will have a single lens instead of the usual complex multi-lens setup, while the entire iPhone 17 lineup (including the Air model) will feature a 24-megapixel front camera.
5. Price
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to replace the Plus model in the lineup; however, it is unlikely to be categorized as budget-friendly. Instead, Apple may position this smartphone as a premium version that potentially surpasses the Pro Max.
