The air model is expected to be the slimmest and lightweight iPhone. This version of the 17 series would be lighter than the standard model with a minimalist design and around a 6.6-inch, slightly smaller display.

The iPhone 17 Air would feature the A19 (3 NM) chipset, but it may lack the features like higher refresh rate and MagSafe.

It is likely to appeal to users who wished a iPhone that is compact, solid performance, modern design and lightweight.

The iPhone 17 pro would be a more premium-featured model in a slightly smaller 6.3-inch form. With flagship performance without the bulk of larger phones, the iPhone 17 Pro would be powered by the next-generation A19 chip.

Better camera sensors, a titanium frame, a 120 Hz ProMotion display, and thinner bezels are the top-rumoured upgrades of the iPhone 17 Pro.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max would feature an excessive 6.9-inch OLED ProMotion display with A19 Pro chipset, and a cutting-edge periscope-style telephoto lens with up to 10x optical zoom.

The max model would be a great option for content creators and tech enthusiasts who need more out of their iPhones.
