iPhone 17 vs iPhone 17 Air

Overview

  • Leaks indicate Apple’s iPhone 17 series will include four models—the standard, Air, Pro and Pro Max—with the Air replacing the traditional Plus variant.
  • The iPhone 17 Air is expected to measure as little as 5.5 mm thick, promising the thinnest iPhone yet through a titanium-aluminium chassis.
  • Both the iPhone 17 and Air models are rumored to feature fixed-range 120 Hz OLED displays without ProMotion’s adaptive refresh and always-on capabilities.
  • High-end Pro and Pro Max variants are set to pack the A19 Pro chip, triple 48-megapixel rear cameras and full ProMotion support including an always-on display.
  • Counterpoint Research warns that U.S. tariffs and component cost inflation could force Apple to raise launch prices across the lineup.
