Breaking News: There Will No Longer Be An iPhone 17 Plus

With the debut of iPhone 16, iPhone 17 is about to enter the historical stage, just like a highly anticipated mysterious delicacy in a technological feast, exuding an alluring atmosphere behind the scenes. Every time Apple releases a new phone, it is a gorgeous interweaving of technology and art, and the rumors about iPhone 17 have spread in the hearts of technology enthusiasts like ripples caused by a breeze blowing across the lake.

In September this year, Apple released the iPhone 16 series, offering four models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Judging from online discussions and market feedback, the iPhone 16 Plus is still the least popular model of this generation, and the same is true for the previous generations of Plus. Phonefix has received some rumors that the 17Plus will no longer be on sale.

There are currently a lot of revelations showing that Apple has lost confidence in the iPhone Plus, and Apple plans to cut off the iPhone 17 Plus from the iPhone 17 series and instead offer a new iPhone - the iPhone 17 Air.


Some foreign media stated that the iPhone 17 Air is not a product of minor changes to existing iPhone models, but a completely redesigned disruptive product. It is significantly different from the other three iPhones. The iPhone 17 Air will break the limits of iPhone design and display technology. This article will give you a detailed introduction to the iPhone 17 Air from the appearance, thinness, chips, video system and price.

iPhone 17 Screen Size
At present, the size of the iPhone Screen is gradually increasing. For example, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is already equipped with a 6.9-inch OLED screen, and the screen size of the entry-level iPhone may also change. Previously, it was revealed that the iPhone 17 Air will be equipped with a 6.6-inch OLED screen, but this information has been updated recently. The screen size of the iPhone 17 Air is more likely to be 6.4 inches.



Relatively speaking, the 6.4-inch screen can further enhance the thin and light design of the iPhone 17 Air, and it is also more ergonomic, which is the result of careful consideration by Apple designers. At the same time, the iPhone 17 Air's screen will also support a 120Hz refresh rate, while the current iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus still only have 60Hz. In addition, there are reports that the iPhone 17 Air's screen will use a harder material to improve its resistance to drops and wear.

Extremely Thin And Light Thinness
At present, for the existing iPhone product line, iPhone 17 Air may be a disruptive product. Reports indicate that the iPhone 17 Air may be thinner than all iPhones that have come out in the past decade, even including the first generation of iPhone designed by Jobs. In order to achieve this amazing design, Apple will introduce a new technology on iPhone 17 Air, a new display technology called TDDI (touch and display driver integration).


According to foreign media reports, Apple is planning to introduce TDDI technology into the display screen of iPhone 17 Air. This technology can bring together the touch sensor and display driver of the screen, thereby greatly reducing the thickness of the mobile phone screen display assembly. In addition, TDDI technology can also improve the display effect of mobile phone screens, enhance the touch capability of the screen, and reduce display power consumption, and has many advantages.

Chip Performance
Today, Apple's A18 series chips no longer have an absolute performance advantage over the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 in the Android camp. But the competition for the next generation of chip performance has not yet begun. There are rumors that Apple's A19 chip may be built using TSMC's N3P or N3X process, and it is still unknown who is better.


As a new model that Apple has worked hard to build, the iPhone 17 Air is also expected to be equipped with Apple's A19 series chips, and may be equipped with higher RAM, perhaps up to 8GB. Larger running memory will significantly improve the daily fluency, gaming performance and AI performance of the iPhone 17 Air. In addition, there are rumors that the iPhone 17 Air will be equipped with up to 1TB of storage space.

Imaging System
Currently, there are few revelations about the iPhone 17 Air imaging system. Some sources say that the iPhone 17 Air will have a single iPhone Rear Camera Lens like the iPhone SE 4, rather than the currently popular multi-camera system. However, considering Apple's emphasis on the mobile phone imaging system, this seems unlikely.

Some foreign media speculate that Apple may launch a new, more compact camera module specifically for the iPhone 17 Air, which will provide high-quality imaging capabilities while significantly reducing the size. In addition, it is reported that all four models of the iPhone 17 series, including the iPhone 17 Air, will upgrade their front cameras to take 24-megapixel selfie photos.


Price
Although the iPhone 17 Air will replace the iPhone 17 Plus, consumers should not have too high expectations for its price. Some analysts predict that the iPhone 17 Air will be an ultra-high-end product. If it really adopts a lot of breakthrough designs and innovative configurations as mentioned above, the final price of the iPhone 17 Air may even exceed that of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, with a starting price of more than 10,000 yuan. Of course, for consumers who value the thinness and innovation of mobile phones, such a price seems reasonable.

We are still about a year away from the release of the next generation iPhone 17 series. The above information comes from various channels. Before Apple officially releases the iPhone 17 Air, these designs and configurations may change. But in any case, if the iPhone 17 Air really exists, it may become the biggest innovation of the iPhone in recent years.

The above are some rumors about the iPhone 17 Plus. If you want to know more, please pay more attention to the phonefix platform.
