Overview

  • The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be Apple's slimmest iPhone yet, measuring just 5.5 mm thick, as confirmed by recent dummy model leaks.
  • Key design changes include a shifted USB-C port closer to the rear, reduced speaker grilles, and a single rear camera to accommodate internal components.
  • The device will debut Apple's first in-house 5G modem, a significant step in reducing reliance on Qualcomm, with global eSIM-only support also expected.
  • A new 6.6-inch OLED display positions the Air between the Pro and Pro Max in size, offering a balance of screen space and portability.
  • Apple's September event is anticipated to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup, with the Air positioned as a design-forward device emphasizing minimalism and innovation.
