TheiPhone 17 AirSeems to be something like Apple's smartphone experiment. The manufacturer apparently wants to explore how a comparatively ultra -thiniPhoneThe masses arrive at the masses and align its strategy for the next few years later.

Im Detail:

  • If the iPhone 17 Air is a commercial success, Apple could take the radical step to launch a smartphone without a USB-C connection and without a SIM card slot (worldwide), as Mark Gurman vonBloombergreported.
  • This would mean that users only have to charge the device wirelessly and have to rely on the (potentially slower) synchronization of the data via iCloud.
  • Alternatively, data transmission via AIRDROP is possible if there is an iPad or Mac.

Among other things, due to regulatory difficulties, the company has probably given up these plans for the iPhone 17 Air.

In addition to these challenges, Apple should be faced with technical hurdles, for example in the restoration of the device in the event of software problems. A wired connection to a computer would not be possible.

Should the iPhone 17 Air or an ultra -thin smartphoneHowever, the manufacturer would continue to pursue the plans for an iPhone without connections, according to Gurman.

iPhone without connection: the rumors are not completely new

Rumors about an iPhone without a loading connection are not new. ThediscussionWhen Apple delayed the introduction of an iPhone with a USB connection and relyed on the proprietary Lightning port to the iPhone 15.

It was speculated that Apple instead of switching to USB-C, do without a connection and rely on Magsafe. As we know today, this assumption did not occur and the latest devices are provided with a USB-C connection.

It is probably not even Apple even with absolute certainty whether we will see an iPhone without a loading connection. However, such a step would not be atypical. After all, the company was one of the first smartphone manufacturers to do without a headphone connection in its cell phones-which did not cause applause everywhere.
