Apple is reportedly working on its next major iPhone release, with the iPhone 17 Air expected to shake up the smartphone market once again. The device’s slimmer design is set to be a key selling point, with reports suggesting it could be as thin as 6mm.
The new phone will likely feature an OLED display with “touch and display driver integration” (TDDI), which integrates the touch and display layers into one, reducing the physical footprint required. Additionally, the display analyst Ross Young believes that all four models of iPhone 17 will feature ProMotion – Apple’s branding on 120Hz refresh rates.
Under the hood, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to be powered by Apple’s upcoming A19 processor, which will boast improved single and multi-core performance alongside energy efficiency gains. The phone will also reportedly feature Apple’s own Wi-Fi chip, reducing costs for the company while making the device slimmer.
Camera-wise, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to have a simplified camera array with just one rear camera, ditching the ultrawide lens in favor of a single 48MP sensor. This could be aesthetically more appealing and may not significantly impact performance for average users.
The most expensive iPhone ever? The rumored premium price tag has raised eyebrows, with some reports suggesting it could surpass $1,199 for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. However, if true, this might see Apple cutting costs by switching to an in-house 5G modem, which could benefit consumers and reduce reliance on Qualcomm.
While there’s still much uncertainty surrounding the release date and specs, one thing is clear: Apple’s next iPhone is going to be a game-changer.
