iPhone 17 Air: What we know
iPhone 17 Air: Design and display
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be the slimmest iPhone model which will fall between 5 and 6mm in thickness. For reference, it will be slimmer than the iPhone 6 which retained a 6.9mm thickness. The smartphone is expected to feature a 6.6-inch OLED display with a narrower Dynamic Island. On the rear panel, it is expected to feature a single-lens camera like the iPhone SE models and it may come with only one speaker at the top.
For display, Apple is expected to use the ProMotion displays for all iPhone 17 models, providing a 120Hz refresh rate and Always on Display feature. It is also expected to be protected with upgraded anti-reflective coating and ceramic shield.
iPhone 17 Air: Camera
Reportedly, the iPhone 17 Air may have only a single rear camera with 48MP resolution. Whereas, on the front, it may come with a 12MP TrueDepth selfie camera. However, note that the rumours surrounding the camera feature are slim, therefore we may have to wait a little longer on what Apple has planned.
iPhone 17 Air: Performance, battery, and software
For performance, the iPhone 17 Air will likely be powered by an A19 chip fabricated with TSMC’s N3P process. This new chipset will likley provide increased performance efficiency to the smartphone. Analyst Jeff Pu also revealed that the iPhone 17 Air may stick to 8GB RAM instead of 12GB RAM as it's speculated for the iPhone 17 Pro Max model. Lastly, the smartphone is expected to run on the new iOS 19 version which is expected to be unveiled in June 2025.
Since it's a slimmer iPhone model, Apple may bring some compromises on the battery front. However, we are yet to know the exact battery size for iPhone 17 Air. Reportedly, Apple is currently working on new technology for easily removable batteries that will allow easy repair.
