Apple has in its hands the possibility of offering us a spectacular new iPhone with the iPhone 17 Air, although if you come from a Pro model you could lose several features
After several “failed” generations between a mini mix and more, Apple could surprise us with a new attempt at a different iPhone but this time it could be a preview of a futuristic iPhone. We are speaking of the widely rumored iPhone 17 Air, which would be an interesting bet and could attract the attention of even users who currently own an iPhone Pro. However, there is still a year to go, but this wait will serve to reflect on what you might lose if you upgrade from an iPhone 16 Pro (or another Pro model) to the upcoming iPhone 17 Air.
A titanium design
Generations come and go, iPhones have had a continuous design since the iPhone 11 with a few variations. The highlight are undoubtedly the materials that Apple used for them.. The iPhone 15 Pro attracted attention with titanium, an interesting feature and one that was also added to the current generation of iPhone 16 Pro.

With the future iPhone 17 Air, it is more than certain that titanium will not be present in this model. It could have an aluminum design aligned with what we saw in previous generations but with the thinnest thickness in its historysimilar to what was seen with the latest M4 iPad Pro.
The most striking thing, but which we do not yet talk about, is that The iPhone 17 Air has another design far from what we know todayit will only be a matter of time before the leaks start to be speculated and then confirmed.
A long-lasting battery
In the mini generation, many users were happy with the size but not the battery life. In plus models, the battery is higher. On the iPhone 17 Airgiven early rumors of him having a slim body, I guess it won’t have a big battery. The worst part is that it won’t even come close to what the iPhone 16 Pro offers, let alone in its Pro Max variant.
The difference between the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 battery is notable
Apple will have to offer a battery, at least, superior to the current base iPhone 16. Remember that those from Cupertino increased the amount of battery in most current models.
Larger RAM memory
It’s no mystery that the Pro models have more RAM. To see it, simply highlight how Apple Intelligence works from the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, leaving aside the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
According to previous rumors, the iPhone 17 Pro will have 12 GB of RAM and entry-level models including the Air model will have 8 GB. Enough to run Apple Intelligence but In the future they might be a little limited although it will depend on iOS more than anything else.
Apple Intelligence, its operation is due to the neural engine of its chips and the RAM of the devices
How can Apple Intelligence progress in the coming years? Processing requests and executing activities may be tied to RAM at any given time. Will they be able to limit subsequent generations of Apple Intelligence if we have a model with less RAM?
Camera module with ultra-wide-angle lens and telephoto lens
The Pro model is characterized by three lenses, since the launches of the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The iPhone 17 Air, due to its new futuristic look, might have only one camera, leaving behind the ultra-wide-angle lens and the telephoto lens.. What will be interesting to see is if Apple decides to include two lenses in the standard iPhone 17. If you’re already used to taking photos or videos with the other lenses, this will undoubtedly be a major point of conflict when choosing between the new Air model or an iPhone Pro.
It seems that 2025 will be an interesting year in the iPhone businessas we had not seen years ago with the “S” models which ceased to exist after Apple’s launch of the iPhone 11. Apple has the opportunity to reinvent the iPhone as it did in its first generation and 10 years later with the iPhone X. Will 8 years be enough to see the iPhone at the peak of innovation again? It’s a difficult path given that foldable cell phones have some advantagesin addition to other traditional devices with premium mid-range features.
What will be the immediate future of the iPhone? We hope that they will not only offer us a thin device as a feat of engineering but also that it will once again be the rebirth of a device that has been a reference for many years.
