Ahead of that, there have been countless rumors telling us that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/apple_iphone_17_air-13502.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone 17 Air<\/a> will replace the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/apple_iphone_16_plus-13316.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone 16 Plus<\/a> in Apple&#8217;s roster, due to the latter&#8217;s lackluster sales performance.<\/p>\n<p>But this leaves a mystery regarding which chipset the Air will go with. Will it be a Pro SoC or not? Apple&#8217;s Pro iPhones obviously use the Pro chipset, but the Air is not a Pro, so will it have the same chip as the vanilla <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/apple_iphone_17-14050.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone 17<\/a>? A new rumor out of China says no to that, revealing that in fact the Air will use the A19 Pro SoC.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755038111_472_gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone 17 Air's chipset detailed\"\/><\/p>\n<p>But there&#8217;s a small catch. It won&#8217;t be exactly the same A19 Pro chip that will feature in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/apple_iphone_17_pro-14049.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone 17 Pro<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/apple_iphone_17_pro_max-13964.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone 17 Pro Max<\/a>. Instead, the Air&#8217;s version will have a lesser GPU, with one less core. That&#8217;s the only difference. So while the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max&#8217;s A19 Pro will come with six GPU cores, the iPhone 17 Air&#8217;s will have just five.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 17 Air&#8217;s screen will also reportedly not be quite at the level of the iPhone 17 Pro&#8217;s, according to the same source. The Air is now rumored to be 5.65mm to 5.7mm thick.<\/p>\n<p>This rumor contradicts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/iphone_17_now_rumored_to_feature_apple_a19_chip-news-68635.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a previous one from July<\/a>, which claimed the iPhone 17 Air would be equipped with the A19 chip just like the iPhone 17. Obviously, we can&#8217;t be sure which one is accurate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/weibo.com\/5821279480\/PFt8mzQAF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Source<\/a> (in Chinese)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The iPhone 17 family is rumored to be launching on September 9.
