The big iPhone 17 Air question: will Apple’s new design phone carry a premium price tag?

Next week, Apple will announce the new lineup of iPhone. The big change is the discontinuation of the iPhone 16 Plus phone, instead introducing a new thin form factor design model. This is widely expected to be branded as the iPhone 17 Air. It will feature the thinnest chassis of an iPhone ever, measuring about 5.5mm at its thinnest point.

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 Reveal Could Be Just 5 Days Away

By this time next week, we'll know exactly what Apple has planned for its new Apple Watch lineup. But one thing already seems very likely: a refreshed version of the rugged Ultra.
