Apple is set to unveil a significant transformation in its iPhone lineup this fall with the iPhone 17 Air. This device promises a unique blend of features and style. Here are the 17 key rumors surrounding the iPhone 17 Air…
Features of the iPhone 17 Air
With the iPhone 17 Air, Apple is focusing on aesthetics and design over cutting-edge technology. Notably, it will feature only one rear camera. However, it will also be Apple’s slimmest iPhone to date.
The eventual success of the iPhone 17 Air remains uncertain. Nonetheless, it represents the most significant shift in the iPhone lineup since the redesign introduced with the iPhone 12 in 2020. Since then, the iPhone design has mostly remained consistent, except for the “mini” variant being replaced by the “Plus” variant with the iPhone 14.
Here are the 17 most significant rumors about the iPhone 17 Air thus far:
- A 6.6-inch always-on OLED display with ProMotion refresh rates up to 120Hz
- Measuring just 5.5mm at its thinnest point, making it the slimmest iPhone ever
- A single rear-facing camera boasting a 48MP resolution
- The camera will be integrated into a novel camera bar design, deviating from the conventional camera bump
- Overall thickness, including the camera bar, will reach 9.5mm
- Support for MagSafe wireless charging, unlike the iPhone 16e
- A 24MP front camera positioned on the left side of the Dynamic Island, unlike the current iPhones that have it on the right
- Powered by the A19 chip (not the Pro variant) with 8GB of RAM
- Exclusively eSIM worldwide due to the ultra-slim design
- Cellular connectivity via Apple’s C1 modem, with no support for mmWave 5G
- An Apple-designed chip for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, replacing the Broadcom chip
- A single speaker in the earpiece due to space limitations for a second speaker at the bottom
- Battery life comparable to other iPhone models
- Introduction of an action button replacing the traditional mute switch
- Camera functionality enhanced with Visual Intelligence and the Camera app
- Projected pricing to be below $1,000, likely around $899
