4. Aluminum, titanium, and glass chassis
The frame would be made of an aluminum and titanium alloy. It would also add a glass strip on the back, around the logo.
5. New processor and Apple modem
It would come with the A19 chip, Apple's most powerful to date, and with a C1 modem for more efficient 5G connectivity.
6. Only one rear camera
To reduce weight, Apple would do without the multiple system. It would have a single 48MP camera, though powerful.
Comparado con el iPhone 16, que tiene 7,8 mm, sería un avance importante.
7. Improvements to the front camera
The selfie camera would increase to 24MP. Double the resolution of iPhone 16 models.
8. Thinner but powerful battery
It would use a battery with a silicon anode, thinner but durable. Artificial intelligence would optimize its battery life.

When will iPhone 17 Air be released?
Apple would officially unveil it in September 2025, during its annual event. Production would already be underway.
If the rumors are confirmed, iPhone 17 Air could be the main protagonist of the year in the tech world.
