Leak Suggests That The iPhone 17 Air Will Have A19 Pro Chip With 5-Core GPU, While Pro Version Will Maintain Full Configuration.

The iPhone 17 Air will come equipped with the new A19 Pro chip, but with a GPU of only 5 cores. This information was revealed by the Fixed Focus Digital profile on Weibo, which has over two million followers. According to the leak, only the iPhone 17 Pro models will have the complete A19 Pro GPU, with 6 cores.

The reduction in core count may indicate that Apple is utilizing chips grouped according to performance or dealing with thermal limitations in the device’s thinner design.

Despite this, it is unlikely that most users will notice a difference in performance during everyday use.

Forecasts and Changes

This new information contradicts previous predictions by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said over a year ago that the iPhone 17 Air would use a standard A19 chip, not the Pro version. The base model of the iPhone 17 is also expected to feature an A19 chip, according to the same leaker.

Analyst Jeff Pu claimed months ago that the regular model would come with an A18 chip, but later backtracked and now expects the A19, aligning with the latest forecast.

Fixed Focus Digital has a track record of accuracy, such as when it revealed the name iPhone 16e before the official announcement. This model will be the successor to the iPhone SE.

Release Date

Apple is expected to introduce the iPhone 17 lineup next month. The announcement is scheduled for Tuesday, September 9th, when all details should be confirmed. Until then, speculation continues to energize the market and the brand’s fans.

iPhone 17 Air

The iPhone 17 Air will be the thinnest model ever released by Apple, at just 5.5 mm thick and an estimated weight of 145 grams.

It will feature a 6.6-inch OLED screen with a 120 Hz (ProMotion) refresh rate and simplified cameras: one rear 48 MP and one front 24 MP.

Inside, the device is expected to bring the A19 Pro chip but with a reduced 5-core GPU, while only Pro models will have the full 6 cores. Additionally, the smartphone may come with a 5G Apple-designed (C1) modem and support for Wi-Fi 7.

Due to the ultrathin design, the battery will have reduced capacity, estimated at 2,800 mAh, which may affect battery life. To minimize this impact, there are rumors of optimizations using artificial intelligence aimed at energy consumption.

The model will replace the “Plus” version in the lineup, offering a more sophisticated look but with some limitations in performance and features compared to the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.

Forecasts and Changes

iPhone 17 Air

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

For the first time, scientists have mapped the Etna magma system in almost real time and discovered where the volcano was storing large volumes of molten material before years of eruptions, revealing an underground reservoir that fills and reorganizes like a living organism beneath the mountain.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Brazilian city becomes a global destination after attracting tourists who travel up to 10,000 km to visit a sanctuary with 11 giant saints up to 10 meters tall, open 24 hours and located along a highway in SP.

JBL Flip Essential 3 SE is launched with 30W of power (20W + 10W), Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast for multiple connections, IP67 water and dust resistance, up to 12 hours of battery life, and a price of approximately R$ 660 in China.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Pernambuco paradise with 59% of preserved area advances with R$ 2 billion in e-methanol, aims for 900 tons/day, grows 38.6% and builds electrified terminal of 400 thousand TEUs.

Brazil may have railways back on the map, but it will need the government: a study reveals 7,412 km ready for reactivation, a cost of R$ 75 billion, 61 sections analyzed, and none viable without public funding.
