The iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Air will miss a feature that you will find on the Pro devices. But what function is that?
You will miss this feature on the iPhone 17 (Air)
We can expect the next iPhones sometime around September 2025. The iPhone 17 is expected to come in four variants. The iPhone 17 Pro, the iPhone 17 Pro Max, the regular iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Air.
According to rumors, the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Air will miss a feature that you will find on the Pro models. According to the Korean website The Elec The camera of the iPhone 17 (Air) cannot zoom five times.
According to the website, the 5x zoom lens remains exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Since the iPhone 17 Air is rumored to be very thin, it is not surprising that the 5x zoom function is missing from this device. There’s probably just not enough room for it.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max, the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max have a tetraprism camera system with a kind of ‘folded’ design. This makes it possible for the camera to fit into a smartphone. The smaller iPhone 15 Pro, the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max only have 3x optical zoom.
The standard iPhone 16 has a 2x optical zoom. So the iPhone 17 should have at least the same zoom function. However, it is not yet known what zoom options the iPhone 17 Air will have. Because according to rumors, this device will only have a single 48 megapixel camera.
iPhone 7 Air design
There are several rumors about the design of the iPhone 17 Air. But most sources think that the device will have a 6.6-inch screen. Usually reliable Apple expert Ming-Chi Kuo thinks that the iPhone 17 Air contains an A19 chip, a Dynamic Island, a single camera on the back and a 5G modem (this time made by Apple itself).
