Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone 17 Air, the first iPhone to carry the ‘Air’ name. The new model is expected to replace the iPhone 17 Plus and will have a slimmer design. According to reports, Apple will price it at $899, the same as the iPhone 16 Plus.
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to offer better battery life despite being thinner. However, Apple may remove some features to achieve this.
It might lack an ultrawide camera, similar to how the iPhone 16e traded extra features for a larger battery. The phone will also come with Apple’s C1 5G modem, which is designed to improve efficiency.
Apple’s upcoming A19 chip, built on TSMC’s advanced 3nm process, is expected to further improve power efficiency.
While specific battery capacity details are not available, reports suggest that its endurance will be similar to current iPhones or slightly better.
Apple’s decision to focus on a sleeker design may attract customers looking for a fresh look. Whether this move will boost iPhone sales remains to be seen, but Apple is betting on thinner, more efficient devices to win over buyers.
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to launch later this year, alongside other models in the iPhone 17 lineup.
