After the departure of the 16E iPhone, many users have been disappointed by it, since they expected that, despite being a cheaper iPhone, it had current, not as old characteristics, such as the elimination of Magsafe, the 60 Hz stagnant screen, etc.
However, the iPhone 17 Airthat Ultradelgated model That we will see in a few months, could change everything, since Apple could have learned, and offer us an improved version of the 16E iPhone, being cheaper than the usual iPhone 17 line, but with the functions that people asked for.
This will be the iPhone 17 Air
Although the price of this model is not clear, and it could be superior to the iPhone 16E, we do know that Apple wants it to be an economic version, so it would be below the iPhone 17 Pro or Max, being something more affordable for the general public.
Among the characteristics that we highlight that it could incorporate, unlike the iPhone 16E, are the following:
- MAGSAFE LOAD: Something that surprised us that the iPhone 16E did not have, because its implementation and cost is very cheap, however, it seems that Apple wanted to differentiate it more from the rest, and simply removed it. The iPhone 17 Air would incorporate it again, something logical in 2025 and that everyone should already have.
- 120 Hz screen: Finally it seems that Apple will leave 60 Hz screens, or at least little by little, since the iPhone 16E continues to have it, but everything indicates that the Air will carry a 120 Hz, a detail that threw many people back when it came to going for a model that was not the PRO, and that they can now acquire more economically.
- Chip A19: Although both models have left in 2025, the iPhone 17 Air will come with a more advanced chip, the A19, adapted to Apple Intelligence and with greater power and consumer management.
- Screen size: The 6.1 inches are not bad, but at this time people want more, and the 17 Air will grant them with its 6.6 inches in a much thinner chassis, so we will gain dimensions without increasing the weight.
Among the characteristics that were rumored, but we will not see, we have the Elimination of the cargo portsomething Apple has been thinking about time, but they believe that it is still too early for people to adapt, and the Modem C2although we may see it in the PRO Models, it would not yet reach the economic version, and that is that it has to differentiate from the rest if they want people to have options to choose from.
For now it is soon for confirmations, and although it is likely that everything is true, for now they are rumors, and we will be aware of all this to inform you. There is not much left to get iOS 19 and with it the manufacture of all these devices, so the leaks will be clearer.
And to you, what would you like to make this model to acquire it? Leave us a comment with that key characteristic that you would need yes or yes in it.
