iPhone 17 Air: What makes it unique
Slimmest iPhone: After the iPhone 6 launch in 2014, the iPhone 17 Air could wear the crown of the slimmest iPhone model in 2025. Reportedly, it will be the ultra-slim model which could retain a slimness of about 5.5mm to 6mm. Additionally, it will be the first “Air” model in the iPhone series after the iPad Air and MacBook Air, marking a whole new product for the company.
ProMotion display: In iPhone history, the iPhone 17 Air would be the first non-Pro model to feature an OLED display with ProMotion technology. This display upgrade will enable the iPhone to support 120Hz refresh rate and Always-on-Display features. Additionally, Apple could introduce a new 6.6-inch display size as well as the iPhone 17 Air model in the flagship segment.
Single rear camera: While we have seen iPhones with single rear cameras before, the iPhone 17 Air camera grabs much attention for its new camera bar design and a 48MP sensor. Additionally, it could be the first single-camera iPhone that would cost above $1000 raising many eyebrows during launch.
24MP selfie camera: After years of iPhone innovations, Apple is finally upgrading its selfie camera with the iPhone 17 Air model. Reports suggest that the iPhone 17 Air could come with a 24MP front-facing camera. This upgrade is also expected to come to other iPhone 17 series models, marking a significant upgrade.
Competitive battery: While many are worried about the iPhone 17 Air’s battery life, reports suggest that it could be the first slimmest iPhone that could offer competitive battery life. Apple is rumoured to bring optimised power consumption abilities, allowing the smartphone to last longer. Furthermore, the iPhone 17 Air could come with Apple’s in-house 5G modem, WiFi 7, and more unique features.
