- The iPhone 17 air could have an A19 Pro chipset
- But I could have a GPU core less than the iPhone 17 Pro
- You could also have a worst screen and battery
The rumored iPhone 17 Air is an intriguing phone, since it could be a great success for Apple, or a colossal failure, depending on how well Apple balances its construction with their specifications, and how much people lead to an super thin iPhone. However, the last leak suggests that Apple might not have had the right balance for me.
According to Fix Focus Digital, a filter with a reasonable history, published in Weibo (through Gsmarena), the iPhone 17 Air will have an A19 Pro chipset, as well as the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Except that it will not be the same here, since this source states that the air version will have five GPU nuclei, while the version used by Pro phones will have six.
It remains to be seen how much difference it will make, but it would mean that the air of the iPhone 17 is less powerful than the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, although probably even more powerful than the iPhone 17 base, which, according to the reports, will have a version not pro of the A19.
Battery, screen and camera commitments
But this is not Air Rumorean’s only commitment, since the same source also says that it will have a screen and drums worse than the iPhone 17 Pro.
They do not become specific here in terms of the ways in which they are worse, but presumably this means a lower battery capacity. As for the screen, that is probably a reference to a previous statement that made the base air of the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 would not have a variable update rate and, therefore, they would probably not have a screen always on, although at least apparently they will have 120 Hz screens.
So that is many commitments and, together with the iPhone 17 air, it probably only has a rear camera, it would almost surely be a great commitment to me. Actually, it seems that only those who value aesthetics on everything else would choose to buy the air.
However, there may be many buyers like that, with a fixed approach that predict that the iPhone 17 air will be a success. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how good it really does. We should find out in September, since it is when the entire iPhone 17 series will be launched.
