The rumors about a new iPhone do not stop happening and everything points to the birth of a Slim model that is characterized by being super ultra thin, although the latest leaks that have come to light seem to indicate that the surname of the The next iPhone that is about to arrive would not be Slimbut it would be called iPhone 17 Air.
This iPhone 17 Air that Apple has in mind is one more alternative to its mobile catalog and, although there are still very few details about it, there are many interested in a variant of the iPhone with a very small thickness that allows them to use it with the greatest possible comfort. However, along the way, unforeseen complications have arisen that have led the American company to opt for other routes.
All about the iPhone 17 Air and its differences
Many will wonder what is so special about the supposed iPhone 17 Air and why everyone is so interested in its launch. In this sense, it is important to note that it will not be like the iPhone 17 Slim that was scheduled to be released next year, as this has been revealed by a member of a popular Korean social network, where he states that the objective of creating a super thin iPhone has been put aside due to problems when it comes to providing the device with a long-lasting battery. The main change of this variant of the iPhone 17 is a pill-shaped camera module which occupies the entire upper width of the device, and which goes beyond Apple’s usual design line.
The latest rumors indicated that the iPhone 17 Slim would have a thickness of around 6.9 mm, although the idea changed when Apple realized the difficulties that this decision meant for the manufacturing of the device and its costs. It is for this reason that finally the new iPhone 17 Air will not be ultra thin and it will only remain fine if the leak ends up being fulfilled, which states that it would have a thickness greater than 7 mm. Taking into account that the iPhone 16 Plus has a thickness of 7.8 mm, the next iPhone 17 Air should not get too close to this measurement to differentiate itself enough and position itself as another option within the Apple catalog. Another aspect that should not be overlooked is that his weight could also be lower than the rest to refer to that surname ‘Air’, but this condition is just a assumption and there are no rumors or leaks that fully confirm it.
Other features and availability
Over the months, rumors about the new iPhone 17 have begun to emerge and now that there is a new model on the scene even more so. The next iPhone 17 Air will have a 120 Hz ProMotion display and a 48 MP main cameraso we sense that it is part of the Pro family or that it is halfway between it and the standard versions of the iPhone 17.
It is also rumored that Apple is finally going to bring these features to its most affordable smartphones and that they will not be a quality intended solely and exclusively for the most expensive models. There is still a long way to go before the official launch, although it remains to be seen how users receive Apple’s new iPhone.
