iPhone 17 Air launch date, specifications, battery and all other leaks
The iPhone 17 Air may debut with a sleek 5.5mm profile, thinner than Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge.
Expected to sport a 6.6-inch 120Hz OLED display, A19 Pro chip, and 48MP rear + 24MP front cameras.
The iPhone 17 Air could be unveiled around September 8–9.
Apple is reportedly gearing up to launch a new ultra-slim model, the iPhone 17 Air, along with the iPhone 17 series in September. Expected to rival Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge, the device is said to be the thinnest iPhone ever. Multiple leaks, including reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, have tipped that the iPhone 17 Air may feature a thickness of just 5.5mm, making it thinner than the Galaxy S25 Edge’s 5.8mm profile. If true, this would make the iPhone 17 Air not only the slimmest iPhone ever made, but also one of Apple’s sleekest products to date.
SurveyBeyond its design, the iPhone 17 Air is also rumoured to sport a 120Hz ProMotion display, a feature previously reserved for iPhone Pro models only. Here’s everything we know about the iPhone 17 Air.
