iPhone 17 Air: Leak Reveals Ultra-Thin Design and Controversial Changes for 2024 (Thai Nguyen – Unsplash)
The iPhone 17, expected next year, has already sparked speculation thanks to leaks from Mark Gurman, a Bloomberg journalist known for his accuracy regarding Apple rumors.
According to Gurman, the company plans to launch the “iPhone 17 Air“, a thinner model inspired by the MacBook Air. At just 6mm thick, the new device would be 25% thinner than the iPhone 16, but this comes at the expense of some features, such as the removal of multiple rear cameras, leaving only a single 48 MP lens.
The iPhone 16, released in September, introduced the “Apple Intelligence“, a generative AI system designed to simplify daily tasks. However, the full features will only be available in an update scheduled for next month, making the current model very similar to its predecessor for those purchasing it before the update. iPhone 16 prices start at $1,000, while the Pro model starts at $1,255.
Despite the potential appeal of a thinner design, Gurman predicts that the “iPhone Air” may face market challenges, similar to the Mini and Plus models. However, Apple hopes that the new device will follow the success of the MacBook Air, one of the brand’s most popular products since 2008.
