iPhone 17 Slim/Air and iPhone 17 Pro hardware details leak
iPhone 17 Slim/Air
- Reiterating earlier reports, analyst Jeff Pu in a fresh research note (via MacRumors) says the iPhone 17 Air/Slim will come with the A19 chipset, which is manufactured on the same TSMC’s 3nm process used for the A18 Pro.
- The chipset is believed to be paired with 8GB RAM. Support for Apple Intelligence could be in the mix as well.
- The iPhone 17 Slim/Air is said to use a 6.6-inch display, which is slightly smaller than the 6.7-inch screen size of the ‘Plus’ model.
- The phone is believed to use an aluminium frame and feature a Face ID sensor for security.
- In terms of cameras, the iPhone 17 Air/Slim may house a single 48MP camera sensor on the back and a 24MP shooter on the front for selfies.
- Lastly, Jeff Pu believes that the iPhone 17 Air/Slim may have a slightly different design compared to the current iPhone models and this variant may replace the iPhone Plus variant, possibly because of less interest among buyers.

- In terms of design, the analyst believes that the iPhone 17 Pro Max may feature a “much narrowed Dynamic Island,” courtesy of the phone adopting a smaller “metalens” for the Face ID system.
- if true, this will be the first size reduction of the Dynamic Island post its introduction with the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.
- The analyst says the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max may use the same display sizes as the iPhone 16 Pro i.e. 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch, respectively.
- The phones could be powered by the A19 Pro chip, which is said to be manufactured with TSMC’s same 3nm process as used for the A18 Pro chip.
