The trade-off for the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air.

Display Technology : The ultra-slim design isn't the only hardware advantage of the iPhone 17 Air over the Pro series. It will feature a 6.6-inch OLED display with LTPO technology, previously only found in iPhone Pro models. This means the device can support a 120Hz refresh rate and always-on mode. Thanks to its ultra-slim design, the iPhone 17 Air's screen can fit comfortably in the hands of current iPhone Pro users, while still providing enough space to satisfy iPhone Pro Max users.

Pricing : In Bloomberg 's Power On report, analyst Mark Gurman highlighted that the iPhone 17 Air could be priced around $900 , similar to the iPhone 16 Plus. Apple is likely hoping this attractive price point will draw in consumers. Image: @unboxtherapy/YouTube.

Chip : Many may worry that the slim 5.1mm design will compromise the performance of the iPhone 17 Air. However, according to 9to5Mac , the device will still use the A19 chip, the same as other iPhone 17 models. Additionally, the iPhone 17 Air will have 8GB of RAM and support Apple Intelligence.

MagSafe : Despite its slim design, the rumored iPhone 17 Air will still feature MagSafe magnetic charging, unlike the iPhone 16e which was omitted. Photo: X/ @appltrack.

Camera : If you're a user who cares about photography capabilities, the iPhone 17 Air might be disappointing. Based on rumors, Apple may cut back on some features, such as a single-lens rear camera to make room for the battery. In March, Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman said that Apple's development team had to change the screen design, semiconductor components, and software to optimize energy efficiency. Additionally, while it will still have a 48MP rear camera sensor allowing for flexible 2x optical zoom, it will lack an ultra-wide camera. Image: @unboxtherapy/YouTube.

Speaker : 9to5Mac suggests the device will most likely only have one external speaker. According to The Information , the iPhone 17 Air is too thin to place a second speaker at the bottom. Instead, Apple will likely enhance the earpiece speaker to compensate. Image: @AppleTrack/YouTube.

Mobile network connectivity : The iPhone 17 Air is one of the first iPhones to use a 5G modem manufactured by Apple itself. However, Apple's modem currently cannot match Qualcomm's 5G chips in terms of speed and connectivity. This component also does not support mmWave 5G. Furthermore, according to sources, Apple engineers have yet to figure out how to fit a physical SIM card tray into the iPhone 17 Air. Although Apple is gradually phasing out physical SIM cards in the US and other countries, a SIM card slot remains a mandatory requirement for phones sold in China. This raises questions about the device's ability to be sold in China, where eSIM technology on smartphones has not yet been adopted. Image: Instant News.

Poor battery life : In internal testing, Apple determined that the percentage of users who could use the iPhone 17 Air all day without charging was around 60-70%. For other iPhone models, this figure reached 80-90%. To cater to those who want a thin iPhone with long battery life, rumors suggest Apple plans to release a Smart Battery Case for the iPhone 17 Air, but it will be sold separately instead of included as a free gift.
