Recent leaks are shedding new light on the rumored iPhone 17 Air, Apple’s potential replacement for the ‘Plus’ model, suggesting it will feature a downgraded A19 Pro chip with a 5-core GPU. This revelation, from a prominent Weibo leaker known as Fixed Focus Digital, indicates the device’s graphical performance might not match the full 6-core GPU found in the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models.

The iPhone 17 Air is expected to bridge the gap between the base iPhone 17 and the premium Pro variants. While it’s believed to share the same 12GB of RAM as the Pro iPhones, the new GPU core count introduces a potential performance differentiation. This could mean comparatively lower gaming performance for the Air model, though the A19 Pro chip is still anticipated to be exceptionally fast, likely making the difference negligible for average users.

These latest claims directly contradict earlier reports from industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who suggested the iPhone 17 Air would feature the standard A19 chip, similar to the base iPhone 17. The conflicting information highlights the speculative nature of pre-release leaks, leaving Apple’s final positioning for the device uncertain. With the iPhone 17 lineup expected to be announced in September, more concrete details are anticipated to emerge soon.
