iPhone 17 Air to be the thinnest iPhone ever: What to expect
By Unnati Gusain
The iPhone 17 series is anticipated to hit the market globally in September. In 2025, the rumour has it that the company will release a new entry, iPhone17 Air, replacing the Plus model.
While there are several speculations doing rounds online, a recent leak shows what the phone might look like.
In the leak, the tipster @ MajinBu shared a hazy image of the alleged iPhone 17 Air's back cover. The single camera lens cut out on the left side of the bar indicates this image belongs to the upcoming iPhone 17 Air.
The leaked image also shows a pill-shaped, raised camera bar at the top, which is essentially the revamped design of the iPhone 17 series. The right side appears to house an LED flash and a small microphone opening.
Based on the rumours, the iPhone 17 Air is to feature a slim profile with just 5.5mm thickness. If this rumour comes out as the real dimension, the iPhone 17 Air will beat the iPhone 6 (slimmest for now).
For this ultraslim design, Apple might cut a few edges, including removal of physical SIM tray, a single camera lens and a smaller battery.
The iPhone 17 Air is also rumoured to feature a 6.6-inch OLED display with ProMotion technology, enabling a 120Hz refresh rate.\
The iPhone 17 Air is rumoured to feature a simplified design, highlighted by a single 48-megapixel rear camera—a shift from the dual-lens systems of current models.
On the front, it may include a 24-megapixel TrueDepth camera, delivering double the resolution of its predecessors.
In terms of performance, the iPhone 17 Air is anticipated to be powered by Apple’s A19 chipset.
