The big news this year should be the arrival of an iPhone 17 “Air”. While the smartphone is due to be presented in September by Tim Cook's teams, rumors about it are already numerous. In the latest report mentioning it, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo returned to a very important detail, which will make all the difference with other models.
As its name suggests, this iPhone “Air” will be thin, very thin even. Kuo speaksonly 5.5 millimeters thick. With such a small waistline,Apple would have succeeded in reducing the thickness of its smartphone by 30%. A real feat when we know that these smartphones are built to the nearest millimeter and that all the components occupy a place defined in advance.
Apple looking for its 4th model
Since the iPhone 12, Apple has offered a 4th smartphone alongside the “standard” iPhone, the “Pro” model and its enlarged “Pro Max” version. At the beginning this additional model was an iPhone "mini", but due to poor commercial results, it was replaced by the iPhone "Plus" two years later.
A large version of the phone, praised for its autonomy, but which also failed to convince the general public. So Apple could change its mind again, for the third time in six years. The Cupertino company will launch an iPhone “Air” next September with great ambition.
This resolutely modern smartphone should be the product that was missing from the current range. With a revised thickness and a price similar to the iPhone “Plus”, it should interest millions of people. In any case, this is what Apple plans. To give it every chance, this smartphone should have the right to what Apple knows how to do best.
The Apple brand is planning a 6.6-inch panel, a latest generation A19 chip as well as, for the first time in an iPhone,a home-made 5G modem. It will be the only smartphone this year to have this component, the three other iPhone 17s would have the right to a modem manufactured by Qualcomm.
