Report: Apple considered removing USB-C port from iPhone 17 Air, more

According to Mark Gorman of BloombergIPhone 17 Air will feature a number of iPhone 16 Pro, including camera control and promotion. Rumors have long suggested that the entire iPhone 17 lineup will be promoted, but it was not clear whether the iPhone 17 air camera would be involved in control. However, despite the thinness, now it seems that the phone will offer a camera control.

Apple also considered the iPhone 17 to make its first “port -free” iPhone, and pushed everything forward in wireless charging. The company eventually decided against it.

As the first rumors were encountered, Apple is working on a very thin iPhone for the iPhone 17 lineup. It is expected to come up to 5.5 mm, with a tag of about $ 900, instead of the iPhone 16 in addition to it. There will be some compromise. It will not have another speaker, and he will have only one rear camera, contrary to the iPhone 16. However, it will pack a 6.6 -inch display.

An area in which he will not compromise is a battery life. According to Gorman, Apple did not want to compromise in this field:

Skinner phones need thin batteries, and that often means less hours of battery life. Apple did not want to compromise here, so it sent engineers back to the drawing board to make the device more efficient, as well as silicon components as well as the software.

In addition, the iPhone 17 Air C1 chip will offer Apple’s first 5G modem. The chip initially debuted in the new iPhone 16 E, and the iPhone 17 Air will also form it. This means that the iPhone 17 will not support Air MMVO, though Apple still offers the “Superfast 5G cellular” to the iPhone 16E.

This is the second time we have heard an analyst proposing the start of $ 900 for the iPhone 17 air. In December, Wall Street Journal This is also reported. If this price point remains intact, the phone will probably perform well. This will definitely be the first iPhone that will really look new in a long time.

Apple considered the iPhone 17 to hold its first iPhone no charging port, though the company has finally decided against it. Due to European rules, Apple’s possibility is not able to change anyway.
