Don’t worry, it won’t matter as Apple Intelligence is basically a glorified spellchecker that barely needs half a brain cell, let alone extra RAM.

iPhone 17, Air, and iPhone 17 Pro: Here's How Much RAM in Each Model

It looks like its tumor has a tumor. That backside is ridiculous. Pros are only slightly better.
While I agree on the ram amount, ios does this aggressive reloading even with more ram. I've sold my ipad because it made it basically useless. I wouldn't buy that ugly pos just to be disappointed by the benefits of more ram..
Well that would be due to the fact that pretty much ALL of the phone's components are in that visor, so that the entire back panel could be a relatively decent sized battery (compared to the rumors).
As for the Pro... No excuses. It's just ugly.
A sorry excuse of a lineup. No smaller phone, no flip phone, no folding phone, no phone with decent battery and looks instead of chasing thinness with camera tumors on "engine bay" tumors.
This is an accountant's idea of a lineup, checking every price point and not caring about anything else.
Tim, hear us out… an iPhone Air Mini
Or iPhone Mini Air
You can choose the name!

What is this even referring to.. not seeing whatever you are, the pros are the ugliest by far, the air just looks sleek and sexy. Reminds me of my old iPhone X which was the prettiest iphone til now
I got the same vibe about the Air. Minimalist camera plateau, shiny slightly curved sides, yes please on the iPhone X homage.
That doesn't contradict what I said. mmWave at a concert or large venue is in fact limited in scope and range.
If the Air works as advertised without compromising battery life much, I could totally see the same lessons applied to a future mini. Unfortunately, the folding phone appears to be next in line. Maybe in a few years.
It’s funny that people are complaining about the 17 Air before it’s even out. It’s likely the same folks that complain about Apple being stuck in the design department. Apple is trying something new, I applaud them for it. The mini & the plus were a bust. Let them try thin for a year or two. The market will decide if it stays or goes. It might be a hit, or it might go the way of the mini. I know it’s MacRumors & Apple is doomed all the time. But I’m glad to see them sending new ideas out. 👍🏻
These arguments are so weird, man.
It's a product I asked for. I want the larger screen but lighter and thinner. It's not a difficult concept. You point out all potential negative and then avoid the biggest positive: thickness and weight. And as much as you don't want to hear it, that's actually important to some people. Just because you don't care doesn't mean it's not a positive.
With all the hardware hype, I was open to break my cardinal rule of not upgrading before 4 years (rocking a 15MP). But the Pros are so underwhelming (either black or the rumoured elusive Unicorn color, would have been a must to seal the deal, amongst other things), while the Air is the only appealing one (haters gonna hate) this year, I know with Apple hardware v2 is always the charm… Thanks Apple for helping me keep myself to my cardinal rule!
I don’t understand people that want to obligate everyone to do the same choice. To justify their choice? 17 Air is not a mistake, there might be a market for it, and if Apple’s market studies are correct there is one. If there isn’t, then that’s it: there won’t be an Air v2! But let people choose whatever they want! Honestly, the Max Pro line is the same as buying a formula 1 to go to the beach, all the specs say so! It is geared for professional photographers and video makers, but everyone wants one because it’s trendy… Most of us don’t need or use 90% of it’s camera features, as much as we call ourselves prosumers… (Similar for the Apple Watch Ultra btw… 🥸)
