The Pro version will have a 48 megapixel camera and some have said they believe that device will no longer be made from titanium and instead will be a combination of glass and aluminum.
It’s not known how much the devices will cost but it has been speculated that the iPhone 17 base model could start from $850, with the rumored new Air model going for around $899.
The rumored iPhone Air
The brand new device is expected to be unveiled for the first time tomorrow and here is everything people are saying about it so far:
First up, the iPhone Air is being said to have a 6.6 inch OLED screen and could have some design alternations due to its smaller size.
While it isn’t known where the USB-C port will be placed, it has been said that it won’t be locked in the center of the bottom of the device.
