Banishing away the skepticism concerning the design and functionality of iPhone 17 and adapting a few new specs is what Apple appears to be gearing up for. As reported and summed up in 9to5Mac, some noteworthy changes include aluminum frames for all variants, increment in the camera bumps, and in some devices the need for SIM card slots may be nonexistent.
A Begin with the Pro Models: Sources Suggest A Migration from Titanium to Aluminum
In the rumor whirlpool, iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max cabin cans are said to not feature any titanium frames which were part of the iPhone 16 series and are now being replaced with aluminum ones, with the big question being “will they get rid of them?” If this alteration occurs, the differentiation between models would be affected greatly as the so called premium feel and touch to the models would not be there. Upping the ante on the speculations, iPhone 17 pro models will have aluminum on the top half of the back side while the remaining will have glass in order to support the wireless charging, which is one of the most sought out features at this point.
Moreover, a larger, rectangular aluminum camera bump has long been expected. Even though the appeared change may never appeal to a certain audience, it probably foreshadows drastic changes made to the cameras such as a 48MP telephoto lens improvement. So as to lessen the impact on the Pro exclusivity, transitioning to aluminum must have been due to either environmental or cost factors.
The Newest iPhone 17 Air and Slim
Slenderness seems to be the crystal ball for the start of new tech as information about iPhone Air 17 has surfaced and is rumor to be a mere 5 mm thick which is nowhere near the latest iPhone 16 which was announced to be 7.8 mm thick. While one might be ecstatic about the expectations, it is still important to note that iPhone 17 can face issues as this design seems almost impossible to add a battery or thermal treatment materials into.
Looking at the previous versions of iPhones, there have always been two cameras and speakers, but the latest iPhone 17 Air offers a single speaker and a single camera with an extremely high resolution which seems odd but good to try. The iPhone 17 Air might also solely rely on eSIM as their method of communicating but this might not sit well with the people of China. Although it might make sense for the people of United States considering the new market that Apple is venturing into.
Apple Yet to Complete In-house Modem
There are as of now rumors that support the 5G modem offered in Apple’s 17 air that us exclusively used for iPhones whereas Qualcomm is spearheading the market with their unmatched speed. As most of the world seems to be on the cusp of 5G, Apple has still a lot of work to do in order to be competitive in a saturated market.
A New Characteristic Fusion
If these leaks are true, the iPhone 17 series is a combination of risk-taking creativity and strange trade-offs. While the proposed design modifications could win over some customers, issues over the selection of materials, limited hardware availability, and concerns regarding the region could raise eyebrows.
Like every other device in the Apple product line, these details remain speculation until the company comes out with their announcement scheduled for September. So yes, these features cut deep, but their impact on the iPhone experience is bound to be a subject of intense discourse. One thing is for certain, the iPhone 17 series is fast becoming one of the most awaited releases from Apple.
