A Premium Price for Slim Design
Despite its record-breaking slimness, the iPhone 17 Air will come with a higher price tag than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Apple’s 2025 flagship model. However, this premium cost won’t reflect in its specifications, which remain modest compared to the Pro lineup.
Specifications and Features
- Processor: Powered by the non-Pro A19 chipset, built on TSMC’s advanced N3P 3nm process, the 17 Air will lag behind the Pro models, which feature the A19 Pro processor.
- Display: The phone will sport a 6.6-inch display, slightly smaller than the Pro Max’s 6.9-inch screen.
- Camera: A single rear camera will lean on computational photography, a strategy popularized by Google’s Pixel series.
- RAM: The device will include 8GB of RAM, optimized for Apple Intelligence applications.
Design and Connectivity
The ultra-thin design will incorporate Apple’s first in-house 5G modem, debuting with the iPhone SE 4. By replacing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips, Apple will optimize internal space, enabling the slim profile of the iPhone 17 Air.
What to Expect?
While the iPhone 17 Air prioritizes design innovation over cutting-edge performance, it is poised to attract users who value aesthetics and portability. Stay tuned for further announcements as Apple reshapes its iPhone lineup for 2025.
