'iPhone 17 Air' Launching Later This Year With These 17 New Features

The iPhone 17 Air is expected to launch in September, but rumors about the device are already circulating. The device is said to have an impressively thin and light design, measuring just 5.5mm at its thinnest point. However, it may have compromises compared to iPhone 17 Pro model, including worse battery life and a single rear camera. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to have a 6.6-inch OLED display with Face ID and a potentially smaller Dynamic Island. It may also have ProMotion support for up to a 120Hz rate, although this is disputed. The device is rumored to have an A19 chip instead of an A19 Pro chip, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, and a 24-megapixel front camera. It may also have a single speaker, an Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip, and an Apple-designed C1 modem for cellular connectivity. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to have eSIM only, no physical SIM card slot worldwide, and a USB-C port. Additionally, it may have features like a high-density battery, a camera control button, an action button, MagSafe, and 12GB of RAM. Apple reportedly plans to release an iPhone 17 Air battery case, and more rumors are expected to emerge in the coming months.
