iPhone 17 Air battery may not be a big concern as we expected earlier. Here’s everything we know.

Overview

  • The iPhone 17 series will reportedly include four models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, with the Air replacing the Plus model as the thinnest iPhone to date at 5.5mm.
  • Pro models are expected to feature a horizontal camera bar redesign, housing triple-lens arrays, LiDAR scanner, and repositioned flash, with accessory makers already creating customizable camera covers.
  • The Pro Max is rumored to include the largest battery ever in an iPhone, potentially exceeding 33 hours of video playback, while the Air model focuses on a lightweight design with a single rear camera.
  • All models are likely to be powered by the new A19 chip series, with the Pro models boasting the A19 Pro chip, 12GB of RAM, and advanced thermal management for improved performance.
  • A shortage of low-CTE fiberglass sheets, critical for logic board integrity, could disrupt production schedules, as Apple works to secure supplies amidst increased demand from the AI industry.
