Apple is reportedly working on a new ultra-slim iPhone, expected to replace the iPhone 17 Plus model. The rumored iPhone 17 Air has been making waves for its sleek design, Pixel-like camera island, and other unique features. However, the thin body might come with some compromises, including a single rear camera, smaller battery, and no USB-C port.
Port-Free iPhone? Apple Might Rely on Wireless Charging
A recent Bloomberg report by Mark Gurman suggests that Apple could remove the USB-C port on the iPhone 17 Air, making it Apple’s first fully wireless iPhone. Instead of a charging port, the phone is expected to depend entirely on MagSafe-based wireless charging.
This move could be controversial, as many users still prefer wired charging due to faster speeds and lower costs. Wireless charging can be slower and requires additional accessories, which might frustrate users who are used to traditional charging methods.
Other Expected Features of iPhone 17 Air
Despite the removal of the charging port, the iPhone 17 Air is rumored to include several Pro-like features, such as:
✅ ProMotion display with a 120Hz refresh rate
✅ New Camera Control button for better photography experience
✅ Next-generation Apple chip for improved performance
✅ In-house 5G modem (similar to the iPhone 16e model)
While the port-less design might be a bold move, Apple is known for pushing technology trends forward. Whether users will embrace wireless-only charging remains to be seen when the iPhone 17 Air officially launches.
