Yes, the titanium build quality of the 17 Pro could now be limited to the iPhone 17 Air variant, while the Pros only feature an aluminium casing this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">These details suggest Apple is planning for an overhaul of its lineup, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/iphone-17-series-launch-date-tipped-heres-when-apple-might-bring-the-new-models-9445246.html\">maybe give the iPhone 17 Air a higher price tag<\/a> than we have assumed. The news comes just a few days after there were leaks about new iPhone 17 Pro colours being introduced this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>iPhone 17 Pro Without Titanium: Why Apple Might Do It?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The fact that Apple could ditch titanium build for the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max clearly hints at a new direction for these products from the company. After all, these are your flagship models, and titanium has been used since the iPhone 15 Pro series, but ditching it now and going with only aluminium build for the frame and case sounds were un-Apple like. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">To be fair, the Air has got a lot of space on the rumour mill, mainly because the company could have a new premium offering coming out this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Having said that, contrary reports suggest the iPhone 17 Plus variant could be the one sacrificed to fit the Air moniker and price it slightly higher, something that Samsung has done with the new Galaxy S25 Edge model this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">iPhone 17 Air is tipped to be Apple\u2019s thinnest ever iPhone, measuring at 5.5mm, making it leaner than the Galaxy S25 Edge. It will get this size by carrying a smaller battery and Apple is likely to adopt silicon carbon tech to pack a higher density unit on the device. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Going by the rumours, iPhone 17 Air launch price could be around Rs 1,20,000 especially if Apple manages to hike the iPhone 17 Pro prices, starting at Rs 1,34,999 this year. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-e71bd712c195739a jsx-134903654 artcta\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">News18 Tech delivers the latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements, and more.
