What’s New in the iPhone 17 Air?
Apple is shaking up its iPhone lineup with the introduction of the iPhone 17 Air. This ultra-thin device is packed with premium features that could appeal to both Pro and non-Pro users alike.
Thinnest iPhone Ever
The iPhone 17 Air will be Apple’s thinnest iPhone to date. Its slimmest part will measure just 5.5mm which is significantly thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16. The camera bar at the top will likely protrude slightly.
New 6.6-Inch Display
Apple is introducing a 6.6-inch display for the iPhone 17 Air. This screen size aims to cater to users who want a larger display without the bulk of the Pro Max model.
Always-On and High Refresh Rate Display
For the first time Apple is bringing Always-On Display and high refresh rate technology to its non-Pro iPhones. This feature will provide a smoother experience than previous base models.
A19 Chip for Power-Packed Performance
The iPhone 17 Air will be powered by the A19 chip. While there will be some performance differences with the Pro models the A19 will still be a powerhouse for AI gaming and multitasking.
Single Rear 48MP Camera with Camera Bar
The iPhone 17 Air will have just one rear camera—a 48MP main sensor. The design includes a camera bar which hints at a possible new camera technology or enhanced processing features.
24MP Front Camera for Sharper Selfies
Apple is finally upgrading its front-facing camera from 12MP to 24MP. This will make it a massive improvement for selfies video calls and content creators.
Apple First In-House 5G Modem
The iPhone 17 Air will debut Apple’s first-ever in-house 5G modem. This replaces Qualcomm’s chips and may offer better battery efficiency and reliability.
