Apple wants to replace the iPhone Plus series, which has not achieved the expected sales, with a new series called Air or Slim. Although important details about the iPhone 17 Air (Slim) have emerged so far, Apple has just taken the first step for the production of the model.
Apple has taken the first step for the production of iPhone 17 Air (Slim)
Apple does not offer a difference in screen size and resolution in both Plus and Pro Max models. Although this size difference turns into a purchase decision for Pro Max, Plus models are among the least selling iPhone models.
The iPhone 16 Air (Slim) model, which emerged before the iPhone 17 models were introduced, is about to become a reality. Accordingly, iPhone 17 Air entered the NPI, or New Product Introduction process. This process is Apple’s development process with suppliers about the assembly, supply and production processes of the product for the new product.
Apple will thus be able to see the problems that may arise during the iPhone 17 Air (Slim) production process. At this stage, there is a possibility that the iPhone 17 Air design may also undergo radical changes. Finally, new details about the iPhone 17 Air camera design have emerged. We came across a more Google Pixel-like horizontal camera array. The final version of this design will be revealed after the iPhone 17 Air (Slim) NPI process.
The iPhone 17 Air (Slim) is on its way to becoming the thinnest iPhone ever produced if it becomes a reality. It is among the claims that the model will be between 5.5 mm and 6 mm at the end of November. In this sense, the iPhone 17 Air model will stay within the worst 6 mm limits.
Although the iPhone 17 Air design has not been revealed for the moment, there is a possibility that the thick frame used for a long time will be replaced by the rounded edges that we encounter in iPhone 6 models. Because the design is likely to go towards a more rounded edge to produce such a thin iPhone.
However, whether the iPhone 17 Air design will be separate or whether other iPhone 17 designs will be similar is a matter of debate. Apple usually comes up with a single design language in iPhone models. In this sense, the iPhone 17 Air (Slim) design is likely to spread to all models. In this sense, how the iPhone 17 Air production and development process will proceed will be decisive.
So how do you think Apple will design the iPhone 17? Can Apple’s iPhone 17 Air model become more popular than the Plus model thanks to its thinness? We are waiting for your comments and opinions.
