Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup has enough spark to buy the company more time on AI
Apple organized its annual hardware event on Tuesday afternoon and presented a renewed iPhone series directed by Slimmed-Down iPhone Air. He did not answer the biggest question about investors’ minds, but still provided reasons to invest in the stock. There was no big surprise for investors who were attached to the Apple Rumor Factory. Longer battery life and better camera technology are naked minimum requirements for Apple’s iPhone product cycle – and fortunately, both boxes were checked on Tuesday. Price increases for certain models came as expected, and we have received new versions of Apple Watch and Airpods Pro accessories with some interesting health features in both products. Ultimately, if we see any dramatic acceleration in the upgrade cycle for the most important product, Apple needs to offer Apple Intelligence offer: iPhone. The good news is that Tuesday’s updates certainly keep the Apple product line fresh and attractive and provide the time to nail the AI strategy. Apple shares fell 1.5% on Tuesday. However, when entering the session, the stock has increased by more than 15% since August 5, and has increased by a positive decision that maintains an important flow of income in the White House and a significant flow of income in the Google Antitröst case. IPhone’s new basic model and high -level Pro and Pro Max versions are evolutionically defined rather than the best revolutionary. In addition to other features detailed by our CNBC colleagues, apple -designed processors, sharper cameras and new generation of “ceramic shield technology” developed to increase scratch resistance. The iPhone Air dazzles a little more, and since the iPhone X in 2017, it represents the first new new design for Apple’s flagship product. Jim Cramer thinks that some people on the old model phones are exciting enough to allow them to buy a new device. The finest iPhone is coming with a 6.5 -inch screen, which is slightly larger than the Basic iPhone 17. In the iPhone series, the air is sitting in the middle of the basic version and Pro family. It is effectively replaced by what is called the iPhone Plus. The new ceramic shield technology will be behind the air model to provide increased durability despite the thinner profile – Indeed, Apple says that this model is more difficult than previous iPhones. The air will also come with a A19 Pro chipset by stepping into the performance field against the A19 chipset of the basic model. Advanced graphic processors or GPUs in A19 PRO will provide more advanced AI features based on GPU Compute Power. It also has an upgraded version of Apple’s modem and has a version designed by Qualcomm-Opple’s walking products. Introduced earlier this year, the iPhone 16e was the first phone with C1 cellular modem. According to the company, it has C1X, which is twice as fast as the air predicture. Apple said that the weather has a “all day” battery life, but it was unclear how it is defined. For the camera, Apple brings new features to the air, including the ability to use both the front and rear cameras at the same time – perfect for those who want to tape an activity. Although it seems that there is only one lens behind the phone, Apple takes advantage of the new “fusion” system in which the company says that it provides “four lens equivalent” in your pocket. In the entire iPhone 17 series, investors note the company’s pricing strategy. The entry -level iPhone 17 starts at $ 799 for the iPhone 16, but it doubles the memory at 256 GB. However, as the hierarchy comes to the hierarchy, the starting prices increase a little – and this can help stay on the street in Apple’s camp until it gets more information on the productive AI front. The iPhone Air starts at $ 999, which is $ 100 more than the middle -stage device in the last year’s series. However, we note that the air uses the same chip as the pro models and that the iPhone 16 Plus uses the same one as the entry -level device. This helps to increase the value offer of the air despite the higher starting price. The Pro Series will start at $ 1,099 this time, which is $ 100 more than the starting price of the iPhone 16 Pro. However, there is a little nuance: Pro line does not come with the option of 128GB of storage this year. It starts with 256GB and rises from there. The iPhone 16 Pro with 256GB last year was $ 1,099. In other words, those who want to get professional will have to choose the 256GB package. In fact, Apple increases the average sales price of the Pro series by forcing buyers to configure a higher margin memory, even if the price does not change when comparing similar memory configurations. Pro Max starts at $ 1,199. For the first time, there will be 2 TB storage options starting from $ 1,999 for Pro Max. Previously, 1 TB was the highest storage offer. In general, Apple’s pricing strategy should serve to increase the average sales price of the iPhone family, and we do not think that anyone who wants an iPhone will choose something else – also mobile carriers can suck some of the additional costs. Simply put, the new pricing strategy should at least balance tariff costs and form the basis for more profit growth next year. As a result, we heard enough on Tuesday to remain loyal to Apple’s stock, as we think that the event is largely met by investor expectations. However, we continue to believe that a more robust Apple intelligence proposal-especially for a smarter, more talented siri-to be the key to the highest levels of all time. The good news is that, considering what we see in the iPhone 17 series, the hardware should definitely support the internal AI models that need to take us there.
