iPhone 17 Air: an ultra-fine model cut for Apple Intelligence
As the weeks progresses, the technical sheet of theiPhone 17 Air becomes more and more promising. New information also draws up the table of a model equipped for the future thanks to 12 GB of RAM. A substantial RAM allowance, essential for the future of Apple Intelligence on iPhone.
The iPhone 17 Air would climb to 12 GB of RAM, like pro models
In 2024, Apple increased the amount of RAM of iPhone 16 and 16 plus to 8 GB. Coupled with the A18 chip, non-pro models were thus equipped with the necessary to run Apple Intelligence.
However, this quantity is intended to evolve on future generations, given that more RAM signs the introduction of more advanced generative artificial intelligence functions. Besides, Ming-Chi Kuo recently confirmed a gear transition to the iPhone 17.
Besides corroborate rumor According to which the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max would benefit from 12 GB of RAM, the analyst added that another model in the range would also benefit: the iPhone 17 Air. The opportunity for the innovative ultra-fine model to add another string to its bow.
An iPhone 17 with lightened Ram… so what?
The iPhone 17 would remain blocked at 8 GB of RAM, waiting for the iPhone 18 to put itself at the same level as the other three models according to Ming-Chi Kuo. Therefore, the iPhone 17 Air would have a new argument to stand out from the standard model, leaving only a weakness In terms of photo part With the absence of the ultra-angle sensor.
A way for Apple to put its brand new ultra-fine model on a pedestal, even if it means neglecting its smallest model.
It remains to be seen whether this advanced quantity of RAM will bring from the release of the iPhone 17 Air, 17 pro and 17 pro max a real advantage. It is indeed important to emphasize that Siri’s advanced capacities have been late, and that they were already announced as compatible with the iPhone 16.
Therefore difficult to believe thatiOS 19 will include major new features on the IA side of the 12 GB of RAM. We expect more concrete innovations for Apple Intelligence with iOS 20.
