Apple plans to replace the Plus model with a brand new iPhone 17 Air that will shake up the entire lineup. The ultra-thin device will sit right between the basic iPhone and the expensive Pro models with some clever tricks up its sleeve. Industry insiders reveal that Apple will pack the Air with 12GB of RAM just like the Pro phones get. The company wants to make the Air feel premium without stealing thunder from their top-tier models. Tech experts say the Air will cost more than the basic iPhone but less than the Pro versions.
A major leak from Fixed Focus Digital claims Apple will put the powerful A19 Pro chip inside the iPhone 17 Air. The twist comes with the graphics power since Apple will reportedly cut one GPU core from the chip. The Air will get a 5-core GPU while the Pro models keep their full 6-core graphics setup. Gaming fans might notice slightly weaker performance compared to the Pro phones. Regular users will barely see any difference since the chip still runs incredibly fast.
Industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo disagrees with the leak and believes Apple will use the standard A19 chip instead. Another expert Jeff Pu backs up the claim that regular iPhone 17 models will stick with last year's A18 chip. Apple will announce all their new phones in September and settle the debate once and for all. The iPhone 17 Air represents Apple's biggest design gamble in years with its paper-thin profile.
