iPhone SE 4 And iPhone 17 Air Launch Rumors: What Apple Fans Can Expect
This is set to be a big week for Apple fans. The tech major is all set to launch a smartphone with changes that are expected to change change the market. We are referring to the iPhone SE 4 launch. However, there is another upcoming Apple smartphone that is constantly in the news - iPhone 17 Air. Both iPhone 17 Air and iPhone SE 4 will come with significant design, camera, and performance upgrades that Apple fans are waiting with bated breath for. Expectations are high and here we list a few.
Launch Timeline
According to latest rumours, the iPhone SE 4 will be launched in this week, while the iPhone 17 Air could be unveiled alongside the rest of the iPhone 17 family in September (The Fall period).
Design & Camera
According to leaks, the iPhone 17 Air will be super slim at a mere 5.5mm — making it Apple's thinnest iPhone ever. Apple might roll it out it with a camera module shaped like a pill, which would change from the typical dual camera setup it has used.
On the other hand, the iPhone SE 4 would come with a design that mirrors most of the specifications of the iPhone 14, but with an upgrade to a 48MP sensor inside the camera, which would be potentially the most budget-friendly model to offer top-level photography.
Display & Performance
If the rumours are accurate, the iPhone 17 Air will boast a 6.6-inch OLED display with ProMotion technology and a 120Hz refresh rate. This would make it the first non-Pro model to offer this.
The iPhone SE 4 is rumoured to be powered by Apple's A18 chipset, under the hood, like on the iPhone 16. The upcoming A19 chipset can power the iPhone 17 Air and provide a performance boost.
Pricing & Availability
While the exact pricing is not disclosed yet, leaks suggest that the iPhone 17 Air could be priced at Rs. 89,900, which is almost the same as the iPhone 16 Plus. At just under $500 (Around Rs. 49,000 in India), the iPhone SE 4 could be a great mid-range contender.
Both models have sleek designs, improvements in the camera, and powerful chipsets, and are shaping up to be very exciting additions to Apple's lineup. Official announcements are awaited and till that happens, nothing can really be taken for granted.
