Right now, I am grateful to anything, which also offers a small thing about AI on a smartphone, but I hate Apple and Samsung’s bubbles bursting: This slim phone craze will never stop.
Just if you are wondering which cat I am talking about, Apple and Samsung are growing up on new phone models this year that prefer slimness over everyone. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is no longer a rumor, and while the iPhone 17 Air is still being placed behind the closed doors, its announcement is a shoe-in for this year’s recurrence of the September product showcase of Apple.
It is noteworthy that the two biggest smartphone manufacturers have decided to go to this trend at almost the same time, and there would be no doubt that the small companies will have a similar slimline handset. But unlike the best foldable phones, which of course represent the last major innovation in this place, I just don’t look at this form factor – and you only have to look at the recent history of Apple.
Apple Recently Miss Volume
As much as I have pain to say, the iPhone Mini and the iPhone Plus series failed brilliantly, both of them fell well behind their standard and Pro counterparts in terms of phone sales.
It is a matter of shame, because I was absolutely obsessed with the price offer of iPhone 13 mini. It regularly offered the same standard chipsets and cameras as the iPhone 13, but at a low price, all within a body which was easy to use one-hand, which could not be said for the majority of the best phone nowadays.
Recently, I have been using the iPhone 16 Plus, and again, unlike others, I appreciate its position in the iPhone lineup. For those who want a big performance to read and watch materials, not to mention additional keyboard space for typing, I strongly believe that iPhone 16 Plus expensive iPhone 16 is a better-value option for Prof. Max.
Obviously, however, most iPhone buyers do not share their feelings towards the iPhone mini and iPhone plus series (or not) – and I think the same will be true about the iPhone 17 Air.
Even though they were cheap, the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini did not appeal for a wide sufficient set of buyers-their 5.4-inch display was a niche preference. Similarly, $ 100 / £ 100 / AU $ 200 premium sought by Apple’s plus iPhones has proved to be much more for the budget-conscious consumers so far, and it seems that the iPhone 17 Air will replace the iPhone 17 Plus in this year’s lineup.
There is a sweet place between value and functionality, and unfortunately, the iPhone 17 air does not feel like it will hit that sweet place, either.
Why iPhone 17 is going to fail the wind
While there will be no doubt in the fine details after the official announcement, the word on the road (thanks for many leaks) is that the iPhone 17 Air, a lot of cheap iPhone 16E, just like a rear-faceing camera.
One may assume that low camera technology is part of the plan to make the air as thinner as possible, and from whatever we know so far, Apple has certainly achieved greatness on that front. The latest rumors suggest that the phone will be only 5.65 mm thick and only 145 grams in hand. It is quite impressive from an engineering point of view, but it will probably come at the cost of another major feature: battery life.
Apple needs to prevent the interrupting with size variations that do not have enough ground and instead leave its long -awaited foldable phone.
There is a chance that the iPhone 17 Air can use a minuscule 2,800mAh cell, which is nothing in the modern market and can make it difficult to ensure that the phone reaches the end of the day at the same fee. If the Apple iPhone 17 decides to equip the air with a super-skilled silicone-carbon battery, its battery can be nothing to worry about, but it will be essentially Some? The endurance agreement brought by the discovery of Apple for final thinness.
At this rate, you must be thinking that with fewer cameras and a small battery, the price of the iPhone 17 can be a redeeming quality, but you will also be wrong on that front.
All indications point to the iPhone 17 Air, with an initial price of $ 899 / £ 899, which puts it back in the same prediction as a plus range, except at this time, it will lack some notable features that you will be able to get on cheap, standard iPhone 17.
In my opinion, Apple needs to prevent interrupting with size variations that do not have enough land and instead leave your long -awaited foldable phone, which will provide a very least, a different experience that you cannot find on other iPhones.
