Apple Reportedly Developing Ultra-Thin iPhone 17 Air to Replace Plus Model

The rumored iPhone 17 Air has entered the product introduction phase, signaling progress toward its potential 2025 launch.

The iPhone 17 Air is expected to replace the iPhone Plus in Apple's 2025 lineup, introducing a significantly thinner design.
The device has reportedly entered the new product introduction phase, where Apple refines its manufacturing process and prepares for pilot production.
Rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Air will feature a 6.6-inch display, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, and a titanium-aluminum chassis to achieve its slim profile.
Apple is said to be using a custom-designed 5G modem chip to save internal space while maintaining performance and battery life.
The iPhone 17 Air is anticipated to launch alongside the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max models in September 2025.
