Apple’s high-end version of the iPhone – the iPhone 17 Air is in the works. Now, this version has sparked confusing thoughts as it is marketed as a device for those that prefer looks over performance. We know that the device sits between the standard and Pro models. Additionally, rumors say it might be priced higher than both variants. Said to be thinner, the iPhone 17 Air will “not boast amazing specifications” as its predecessors. But perhaps those wishing for an aesthetically pleasing handheld should keep an eye on this model though.
What’s more, the iPhone 16 lineup is shaping up to be a great successor to the iPhone 15 lineup. All thanks to its new Capture Button and camera hardware improvements. However, the company also has a lot more in store for users on the software front as well. That includes Apple Intelligence and the new chips enabling AI utilities.
What We Know About the 17 Lineup
All four 17 models come with an LTPO display so ProMotion can make its way to the standard version of the iPhone. They’ll also boast 120Hz refresh rate, 12GB of RAM and a triple-lens camera setup. Upgraded sensors and internals like the A19 Pro provide enhanced computational and graphical performance.
- iPhone 17: 6.27-inch LTPO display with a $799 price
- iPhone 17 Pro: 6.27-inch LTPO display with a $1,099 price
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: 6.86-inch LTPO display with a $1,199 price
- iPhone 17 “Slim”: 6.65-inch LTPO display with a $1,299 price
For the iPhone 17 Air, the model will forgo a Plus version, in order to debut this “slim” version. Equipped with an A19 Pro chip, it also features a single rear camera design with aluminum-titanium hybrid chassis and 8BG of RAM, and 5G modem from Apple. Unfortunately, rumors make this version comparable to the specifications of the iPhone SE 4. Again, this version is not meant to replace the 17 Plus version but merely offers a standalone device with the selling point of design. No further details on this model have been released so we shall have to wait.
If the design is successful, we may see it alongside the 17 model lineup. What are your thoughts on this audacious attempt?
