Deep dives

iPhone 17 Air Design Changes

The upcoming iPhone 17 Air is poised to be significantly thinner, with a reported thickness of five to six millimeters, compared to its predecessors. To achieve this sleek design, Apple is sacrificing some functionality, such as reducing the number of earpieces and opting for a smaller battery that may affect usage time. The device will feature the company's first in-house 5G modem but will not support faster millimeter wave 5G, indicating a trade-off for aesthetics. Despite these compromises, Apple might still include a physical SIM card tray for the Chinese market, alongside a prominent camera bump on the back.
