Overview

  • A leaked prototype video shared on X by tipster Majin Bu shows the iPhone17 Air resisting intense bend pressure with no visible damage.
  • Rumored to measure just 5.5mm thick, the Air would become Apple’s slimmest iPhone ever.
  • Sources suggest it will feature a 6.6-inch OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion, powered by Apple’s A19 chip and paired with up to 12GB of RAM.
  • Apple plans to replace its Plus variant with four models—iPhone17, Air, Pro and Pro Max—slated to debut in mid-September 2025.
  • The Air’s rigidity is credited to its titanium-aluminium frame and redesigned internal structure, and it may introduce Apple’s first in-house 5G modem.
