Apple will launch the iPhone 17 series in 2025, and there will be changes in the models. What is certain is that the Plus version will be cancelled, and Apple will replace it with a newly designed mobile phone. The official name of this phone may be iPhone 17Air, rather than the previously rumored iPhone 17 Slim.



Foreign media believe that Apple's iPhone 17 Air is positioned as a "more fashionable" design, suitable for those who do not need the performance, screen size or camera of the Pro model. The design of this phone is completely different from the current version, and the recognition is directly maximized. If you want people to know that you are using the latest model, then the iPhone 17 Air is definitely the best choice.

However, in terms of configuration, the specifications of the iPhone 17 Air are lower than those of the Pro version. The screen uses a 6.65-inch OLED with ProMotion support and a dynamic refresh rate range of 1Hz-120Hz. The processor will use the new A19 and will be equipped with Apple's self-developed 5G baseband. In comparison, both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will use the more powerful A19 Pro AP and use Qualcomm baseband.

In terms of memory specifications, the iPhone 17 Pro will be equipped with 12GB RAM, which is the highest memory ever for an iPhone, but the iPhone 17 Air will only provide 8GB RAM to meet the minimum memory requirements of Apple Intelligence. In terms of imaging, the iPhone 17 Air may only be equipped with a single rear camera. In short, the positioning of this phone is below the Pro.
