"Apple has largely stuck with the same iPhone design since the iPhone 11 debuted in 2019, but change is afoot in Cupertino. While the iPhone 17 may resemble iPhones of the past few years, there's an entirely new camera layout for the iPhone 17 Pro models. Also, there's a brand-new iPhone! The iPhone Air replaces what was supposed to be the iPhone 17 Plus. It, too, features a new look, and it's the thinnest iPhone Apple has ever made."
"It's 5.6 mm thick-an incredible feat, as that's even thinner than Samsung's handset, and a 2.65 mm drop from the iPhone 16 Pro. That's about seven credit cards stacked on top of each other. With it comes weight savings of 24 grams compared with the regular iPhone 16, and this combo can dramatically alter how the phone feels in your hand, especially considering it sports a large 6.5-inch screen."
"The changes on the standard iPhone 17-typically Apple's most popular iPhone model -aren't as drastic. The company announced the new handsets alongside new Apple Watches and AirPods Pro at its annual September event at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park in Cupertino, California. Preorders are available on Friday, with the iPhone 17 starting at $799, the iPhone Air costing $999, and the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max seeing an increase to $1,099 and $1,199. Here's everything you need to know."
Apple introduced the iPhone Air alongside the iPhone 17 lineup and updated iPhone 17 Pro models with an entirely new camera layout. The iPhone Air replaces the expected iPhone 17 Plus and is the thinnest iPhone at 5.6 mm, saving 24 grams versus the regular iPhone 16 while retaining a large 6.5-inch screen. The iPhone Air uses a titanium frame, Ceramic Shield 2 on the front for improved scratch and drop resistance, original Ceramic Shield on the back, and a horizontal camera bump with a single rear camera. Preorders begin Friday; pricing starts at $799 for iPhone 17 and $999 for iPhone Air, while Pro models rise to $1,099 and $1,199.
