Apple's iPhone 17 Air Set to Redefine Ultra-Thin Smartphone Design

Expected to launch in September, the iPhone 17 Air will feature a 5.5mm profile, USB-C port, and advanced technologies while maintaining battery life.

  • The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to be Apple's thinnest iPhone ever, with a 5.5mm profile, 2mm thinner than other iPhone 17 models.
  • It will reportedly include a 6.6-inch OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion, a single 48MP rear camera, and the A19 chip.
  • Apple initially planned a port-free design but retained the USB-C port, influenced by EU regulatory requirements.
  • Despite its slimness, the phone is expected to offer battery life comparable to current iPhone models, achieved through hardware and software optimizations.
  • The iPhone 17 Air will replace the iPhone Plus in Apple's lineup, with a rumored starting price of $899.
