iPhone 17 Air has entered a new stage of Foxconn’s NPI.
It is understood that NPI stands for “New Product Introduction”, which is a process of introducing new products from design to production verification until high-quality mass production is achieved . Generally speaking, NPI usually includes four key stages, as follows:
Prototype: Initially produce 3-5 product prototypes and show them to customers to confirm appearance and feasibility.
EVT (Engineering Verification): Verify product design integrity and troubleshoot functional defects.
DVT (Design Verification): Comprehensively test the product, including functionality, performance, and reliability, and finalize the design.
PVT (Production Verification): Small batch verification before production to ensure process efficiency and manufacturing quality system is correct.
Through the above four stages, new products can be brought to market more quickly, accurately and efficiently to meet customer needs.
According to the leaked information, the iPhone 17 Air will be the thinnest mobile phone in Apple’s history. Its thickness is about 2mm thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro. It is known that the thickness of the iPhone 16 Pro is 8.25mm, which means that the thickness of the iPhone 17 Air is 6.25mm.
Not only that, the size of the iPhone 17 Air is between the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, and is expected to be between 6.5-6.6 inches. In addition, the iPhone 17 Air will be equipped with a 48-megapixel camera, which is centered and has a bulge.
More importantly, the iPhone 17 Air will be equipped with Apple’s self-developed 5G baseband. This chip is smaller than Qualcomm’s 5G baseband. Apple hopes to use smaller and more integrated chips to save internal space and make way for the battery.
The report pointed out that Apple’s self-developed 5G baseband is code-named Sinope, which only supports four-carrier aggregation and does not support mmWave (millimeter wave) technology.
