OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has picked his favourite amongst 4 iPhone 17 models

Apple unveiled the iPhone 17 series at its Awe-dropping event, along with the AirPods Pro 3, Watch 11, Watch Ultra 3 and the Watch SE 3. While the phones this time come with monumental upgrades, what really stood out this time was the introduction of a new model, which has never been launched before– the iPhone Air. Apart from this, Apple has launched the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who seems to have closely followed the launch event, has a favourite. In a tweet, he wrote, “first new iphone upgrade i have really wanted in awhile! looks very cool.” While he didnt name the iPhone in his tweet, when a follower asked him if he is talking about the iPhone Air, he answered in the affirmative.

One of his fans even asked him to ask Tim Cook to replace Siri with ChatGPT voice, to which he replied, “that tbh sounds like a great idea, i am supportive”

Notably, the iPhone Air is the slimmest model in the entire iPhone 17 line-up, it is only 5.6mm thick.  The iPhone Air runs on the A19 Pro chip, designed on a 2nm process to enhance performance and efficiency. Apple has also added the new N1 chip for faster Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections, alongside a C1X modem that is both quicker and more power-efficient than its predecessor.
