Overview
- The iPhone 17 Air’s street price in Peru has reportedly fallen from about 6,000 soles at launch to roughly 3,500 soles, reflecting soft uptake despite high-end internals.
- Local reporting cites a 2,900 mAh battery and a lone 48MP rear sensor as key drawbacks compared with multi-camera rivals, even with an A19 Pro chip and 12GB of RAM.
- Industry leaks suggest iPhone 18 Pro models could move Face ID sensors under the display, with conflicting reports on whether the Dynamic Island shrinks or disappears.
- Rumored iPhone 18 upgrades include an A20 processor with about 15% higher performance, a ‘C2’ 5G modem, a variable-aperture main camera, a 24MP front camera, and up to 12GB of RAM.
- Supply-chain reporting points to a broader lineup and staggered timing, with iPhone 18 Air, Pro/Pro Max, and a foldable model expected as soon as September 2026, and the standard 18 and budget 18e following in spring 2027.
