Every year, as soon as September comes, Apple's event becomes everyone's news—and this time the biggest spotlight is on the new iPhone 17 Air. But this phone is not just another iPhone, but according to leaks and rumors, Apple is going to do something big this time. Let's take a look at what has come out so far, without any fake hype, directly in Hindi-English (Hinglish).
Design: Thin, lightweight, Apple style!
First of all, what is on everyone's lips: This phone is going to be very thin. Leaks suggest that the iPhone 17 Air will only be 5.5mm thick—the slimmest iPhone ever. Apple has created a new body by combining titanium and aluminum this time, which is lightweight and will also give a premium feel.
In terms of colours, there are a few new options to offer – classic black, silver, gold, and a slight blue colour. Yes, a little weird: the USB-C port may not be perfectly centrally located, because of the design.
Display: Big and smooth
The iPhone 17 Air's display is also quite interesting – a 6.6-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Meaning it will be even more fun to run Instagram or games, everything will look super smooth. Apple's displays are also quite cool, but this time ProMotion tech is big news even in non-Pro iPhones!
Battery: Slightly short, but smart
You must be thinking if the phone is so thin then how will the battery be? Hold it right! The battery size may be smaller, but Apple is optimizing with new battery tech and smart features of iOS. Meaning the battery life will not be like the Pro models, but it can run well for daily normal use. For travel or long days, then keep a spare power bank.
Camera: Same but powerful.
The camera setup is also simple: the same rear lens, but a powerful 48MP sensor. Multiple lenses may be missing, but Apple will put all its life into that one lens. There's also a 24MP front camera upgrade for selfies. A new horizontal camera bar design can be seen, a slightly different feel from previous iPhones.
Performance: No Compromise
Talking about the processor, the new A19 chip is expected to be found, which will be absolutely latest. RAM can also go up to 12GB, which means the performance will get the same feel as Pro models. Day-to-day usage or a little heavy multitasking, there will be no problem.
Price & Extra Features
In terms of price, the iPhone 17 Air can start at around $ 899 (i.e. approximately Rs 90,000 in India). It is a bit expensive, but it was also expected with Apple's design and features.
MagSafe charging, action buttons, and all the other latest features will also be available in this phone.
Is this phone for you?
If you're that person who mostly carries the phone in his hand, puts it in the pocket of his jeans, or doesn't want the weight of the phone in his purse—then this iPhone 17 Air is ready for you! It is not made for power users who want camera zoom or full day battery. It's for those who want a phone stylish, slim and simple—but don't want to give up on Apple's swag.
Final Thoughts
The iPhone 17 Air is a fresh change—thinner, lighter and minimalist. The battery or camera may be a bit compromised, but the design and Apple's optimization can be overshadowed. To be honest, I think this phone is perfect for those who want the latest tech but don't like heavy phones.
