After reporting in January that Apple is including an “Air” choice to its iPhone lineup, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is offering more details in regards to the upcoming slimmer iPhone.
The iPhone 17 Air will launch this fall, Gurman says — and just like the MacBook Air, it is going to be thinner than customary fashions, whereas combining high-end and low-end options. It apparently took a “herculean effort” for Apple engineers to create a skinnier telephone with thinner batteries with out sacrificing battery life.
Gurman additionally studies that Apple thought-about making this the primary “fully port-free iPhone,” with all charging finished wirelessly and all information syncing completed by way of the cloud.
