In the last few months, Analysts hint at rumored iPhone 17 Air —or slim model—It replaces the plus. Previous leaks revealed that this iPhone may lack performance and be overpriced, but Haitong Securities analyst Jeff Pu shared some specific specs. .
According to the analyst, the iPhone 17 Air will be announced at next year’s iPhone event. With a redesign and a 6.6-inch display, the device is likely to feature an A19 chip manufactured using the same manufacturing process as the A18 chip.
The device has 8 GB of RAM, a 24 MP front camera, and a single 48 MP rear lens. The device is expected to be installed between the base and the Pro iPhone, but it’s strange that Apple is considering using one main camera instead of two.
Analysts believe Apple will offer new design and chassis upgrades on all iPhone 17 models, but the A19 Pro chip, more RAM, and narrowed dynamic island will be exclusive to iPhone 17 Pro models. .
Apple may eventually upgrade all main cameras on the iPhone Pro to 48MP, and the front camera will also eventually be upgraded to 24MP resolution. The regular iPhone 17 is expected to have the same 12MP ultra-wide camera.
There’s still a year until Apple announces the next generation of iPhones, so a lot can change, including plans for the iPhone 17 Air/Slim. Some rumors suggest that this slim design could be achieved with new display technology that will be available as early as next year. Improved battery life and software optimizations may also help Apple achieve this new form factor.
