Like the previous iteration, Apple is expected to launch at least four iPhone 17 series variants.

And, there will be a special iPhone 17 variant, which is expected to be called as the iPhone 17 Air.

The iPhone 17 Air will succeed the iPhone 16 Plus model. It is said flaunt a super slim design with just 5.5mm thickness. Due to the design limitation, Apple may remove the physical SIM slot.

And, incorporate a new advanced battery with high power carrying capability.

As per leaked visuals of iPhone 17 models, they will come with a refreshing camera module design.

They will occupy the whole top slot on the back and retain the uniqueness of the iPhone.

However, iPhone 17 Air will be different from others camera design compared to other variants. It will feature a horizontally aligned long capsule with a single main camera sensor on the left side and the LED flash on the opposite side. Whereas the regular iPhone 17 model will have a vertically aligned module with dual-camera sensors and LED flash, the same as the iPhone 16.

The new phone is expected to come three variants-- F31, F31 Pro and F31 Pro+. They will replace the F29 series. We don't know the reason why the company has skipped the F30 series, but it is not uncommon among Chinies brands being a bit supertituous about select numericals. It can be noted that Oppo skipped Oppo N4 and Find X4 series as four is considered unlucky.

The top-end model F31 Pro+ is said to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset with 12GB of RAM and 256GB storage.

The F30 Pro model will come with a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 octa-core processor. And, the standard F31 will feature Dimensity 6300 octa-core chipset.
