Notably, the leaked device lacks the iconic Apple logo, suggesting that it might be a prototype, hinting that the final design could differ somewhat from this version. Nonetheless, the iPhone 17 Air is rumored to retain an impressively slender profile of only 5.65mm.
Under the hood, the Apple iPhone 17 Air is anticipated to feature the groundbreaking A19 chipset yet to be unveiled. It is expected to come equipped with a 6.9-inch LTPO display, potentially similar in size to that of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, complete with the Dynamic Island functionality. A significant design change might involve the removal of the SIM card tray, pointing toward a more futuristic design. Coupled with the powerful A19 chip, the device may offer a substantial 12GB of RAM along with modern features such as a USB-C port and redesigned speaker grilles.
When it comes to photography, the iPhone 17 Air is rumored to house a robust 48MP rear camera. Additionally, the front-facing camera could boast a resolution of 24MP, ensuring high-quality selfies and video calls.
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to officially debut in September, coinciding with the launch of the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Ultra during Apple’s annual fall keynote event.
Reports indicate that the Apple iPhone 17 Air could be priced around ₹89,900 in India. However, details regarding the exact pricing, launch date, and specifications remain under wraps, leading to much anticipation among fans and enthusiasts alike.
