Apparently, the iPhone Air will not only be a thinner and more economic model, but will have new features Never before viewed on other brand devices, as happened with the 16E iPhone, where Apple tested its C1 modem, for example.
In this case we would talk about a New screenwith a consumption less than usual, and although it has cons, like any product, also many advantages, since, on such a thin phone, any improvement in battery consumption is key to be a good device.
New screens on the 2027 iPhone Air
Apple plans to introduce a technology of Low consumption OLED screen, known as “Ltpo 3”, On an iPhone Air. This technology would replace more conventional transistors with oxide transistors, which would reduce energy consumption on low soda frequency screens (such as the Always-on function), although with a slightly slower response.
Apple You are already using this technology at the Apple Watch Series 10and although its autonomy is no different from that of a 9 series, we do have a thinner device, something similar to what would happen with the Air, which, despite not improving in terms of battery, would get the same as its predecessors, but being lighter.
Samsung and LG are expected to supply these screens, although LG would have to make more investment in new machinery, however, if the future is in them, and the rest of iPhones and devices would incorporate it in the coming years, they can obtain great profitability. Recall that Apple, except their chips and some more detail, do not manufacture their equipment, and use pieces of others.
It is true that, although we would like 17 Air could have a fairly poor autonomyand depend a lot on carrying a charger by hand, even though it has advantages such as its weight.
The decision to incorporate LTPO 3 into at least one model will be taken towards the third quarter of 2025, with a view to a mass production by 2027so it is not even sure, and it takes time, so we will have to be attentive to any news, since they are not clear if the Air model will work, because it has never been put up for sale, and it may be just that extra battery consumption is one of its problems, hence they look for solutions like this.
And you, do you think this type of changes are those that Apple's need to innovate? For my part I believe that yes, although as long as the cost is not reflected in the final product, since, currently, their devices are quite expensive, and an improvement that also implies a cost, despite grateful, it is not something that the final customer excites, so we will see that it happens finally, and we will bring you any novelty in this regard, although we still have time for it.
