Apple has big ambitions but is still held back by major barriers from the European Union.
Recent leaks suggest that Apple is preparing to launch an iPhone 17 series with many
notable changes. Among them, the iPhone 17 Air (unofficial name) is rumored to
be the thinnest iPhone ever from the Cupertino giant.
According to Bloomberg's Power On, Apple once had a bolder idea than slimming dow
n the iPhone 17 Air. The company planned to completely remove the USB-C port on this device, making it the first "portless" iP
hone in history.

Removing the port could result in a more seamless, minimalist design, and could
also improve the device's water and dust resistance, but the plan has hit a major roadblock.

7 Air due to concerns that it would violate EU regulations. The alliance has b

nic devices, in order to reduce waste and bring convenience to consumers.
Still, Gurman said Apple hasn't completely given up on its "portless" ambitions.
The company may revisit the idea for future slim iPhone models, depending on the success of the iPhone 17 Air.
In addition to the information about the "almost" lack of connection ports, leaked sources also revealed more about the iPhone 17 Air. This device is said to be about 2mm thinner than other
iPhone 17 models. Lea
ker Sonny Dickson recently shared a model image of the iPhone 17 series, clearly showing the difference in thinness between the Air version and the remaining versions.

In terms of price, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to cost around $900 (about 22.9 million VND), between the standard iPhone 17 versi
on and the two high-end Pro versions. The device will have a screen of about 6.6 inches, integrated Dynamic Island, Camera Control button (function unknown) and battery life equivalent to current iPhone models.
Although no official information has been confirmed, rumors and leaks about the iPhone 17 Air show that Apple is still constantly looking for breakthrough improvements for its flagship product line.
