Apple tech news is never idle, as the company is always up to something new. It might be increasing the operating speed of our gadgets, reducing their size or simply making them cooler. If you have been monitoring their activities lately, you will probably have realized that Apple has been experimenting with form factors of the iPhone a lot.
First, they try to go small with the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini which did not garner the kind of reception that Apple expected. Well, Apple attempted to employ the exact opposite with the iPhone 14 Plus, delivering a bigger phone to those who want a slightly larger screen.
Now as we glance forward, there are reports suggesting that Apple is again preparing itself to bring a change. By 2025, a New year, we might bid farewell to the Plus model and start welcoming the iPhone ‘Air’, similar to the MacBook Air or iPad Air. But don’t think of this iPhone Air as a lightweight, because it could just as well turn out to be a powerhouse on the inside.
This Newcomer in the iPhone Series
As Bloomberg news has it, iPhone 17 range will be filled with options. This, of course, refers to the standard model iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. And, possibly, the iPhone 17 Air could fall between them. You can think of it as the third option of kinds of iPhones not too simple and not too complex but medium.
But what exactly distinguishes this ‘Air’ model from others in terms of size? To begin with, it is expected that the device will have a 6.65-inch LTPO display. If that sounds like tech-speak, let’s break it down: LTPO is nothing but a way of saying this screen can refresh at variable rates thus making everything from scrolling to gaming a fluid experience. This iPhone Air could be smoother and with refresh rates of up to 120Hz.
Lightweight and Powerful
It is also important to take note of the fact that Apple is not merely rebranding an old phone. The iPhone Air is expected to be thin and made from light materials that are appropriate to its name. Picture this: the performance that you might require to complete your day to day activities, be it taking photos or videos, browsing through social media, or simply watching endless reel of memes, all with one of the lightest iPhones you’ve ever used.
You may be wondering whether the iPhone Air will be as potent as the Pro versions. Apple has been observed to reserve the most powerful chips for its Pro line, but this machine could be the exception. It is still unclear, but I don’t think it would be unexpected if Apple offered some of the Pro features to the Air model. Nevertheless, the Air is meant to be a bit better than the standard iPhone, so there has to be something more to it.
The Future of iPhone Air
If the rumors are to be believed, it is going to be a phone that is neither too big nor too heavy and comes with power. This is the kind of phone that might just convince you what you really needed in a device. If you are an apple user or just an observer of its consecutive innovations, the iPhone Air might be the change that all are waiting for.
