- At just 5.5mm thick, the iPhone 17 Air could be Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet, though it may compromise on features like a second speaker and multiple rear cameras.
- Despite its slim design, reports indicate Apple has prioritized maintaining battery life through redesigned silicon and display components for enhanced efficiency.
- The iPhone 17 Air will reportedly include Apple's C1 chip, its first 5G modem, though it may not support mmWave technology.
