There is still a lot to know, although one of the things that we were clear about was its price, since it was not going to be cheap at all, however, everything indicates that this model, apparently, will be even cheaper than the rest, which It makes us think many things.
iPhone 17 Air: cheaper than ever
The first rumors, in terms of its cost, indicate that this phone will be worth less than the normal iPhones we are used to, which surprises us, especially due to its innovative and super thin design. Does this mean that it will not have the same components as the rest?
First of all, the batteryit is something that we are clear that cannot be the same, simply because dimensionssince a component like the current one will not fit, in a thickness as expected, so at the level of autonomy, we will lose.
However, what chip will it bring, will the screen be in 60 HZ, 8 GB of RAM? There is a lot of data that we are missing, since we do not know if Apple really wants to make a thin, but powerful phone, or something cheaper, for all budgets, which would be a kind of iPhone SE but thin.
For now the rumors indicate this, and that Apple would focus on a low cost versionbeing cheaper than the current iPhone 16, and, at the same time, more portable, due to its weight and thickness, which I don’t know if it will be something that many support. At least, for my part, no, because the current dimensions don’t bother me, and thinking that it will have much less battery doesn’t quite convince me, although we’ll have to see it in person.
For now we have to wait, and there are still 10 months left for it, so even Apple itself could change its ideas, and everything we think will happen ends up being cancelled, so it is better to be cautious, and see what happens However, and at least for now, these are the company’s intentions.
The iPhone 17 Air continues to give something to talk about, and expectations do not stop growing. While the idea of a thinner, lighter phone sounds exciting, it also raises a lot of questions about the sacrifices Apple might make to achieve it. Will it really be more accessible in price, or will that imply cuts in key components such as the battery or the performance? For now, everything indicates that the company is seeking to reinvent its approach with a model that could be cheaper and different from what we are used to. However, until Apple speaks, we can only wait and speculate.
And you, what would you like to see happen? A thin but powerful iPhone, or a thin but economical iPhone? Leave us a comment with your opinion about it, let’s see if we all agree or Apple should think about two different models.
