Larry Magid: New iPhone operating system arrives on Monday
"Most of the new iPhone models look pretty similar to existing ones, but there is a new iPhone Air. Less than a quarter-inch thick, it's the thinnest iPhone ever. Even though it has a fairly big 6.5-inch screen, it has a smaller battery than the thicker and heavier iPhones. The iPhone 17 Pro has a couple of interesting attributes, including what Apple calls a heat-forged aluminum unibody enclosure that maximizes performance, battery capacity, and durability."
"I'm assuming they're saying that they can zoom in using digital technology with virtually no degradation, but we'll have to wait for reviews to find out how true that is. The new phone comes in two sizes, a 6.3 inch with a 33-hour video playback battery starting at $1,099 and a 6.9 inch with a 36-hour video playback battery starting at $1,199. Aside from size and battery life, the two models are otherwise identical."
Apple introduced updated iPhones including a new ultra-thin iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Pro with a heat-forged aluminum unibody. The iPhone Air measures less than a quarter-inch and features a 6.5-inch screen paired with a smaller battery than thicker models. The iPhone 17 Pro claims an 8X optical-quality zoom and emphasizes a unibody enclosure to maximize performance, battery capacity, and durability. The Pro is offered in 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch sizes with 33- and 36-hour video playback ratings and respective starting prices. iOS 26 will be available Sept. 15 for iPhone 11 and later and adds new features plus a Liquid Glass translucent interface.
