iPhone 17 Air: Thinner Design, Big Changes
Leaked Dummies Reveal Design Updates
Leaked images of iPhone 17 dummies showcase upcoming design changes, including a new camera bump stretching across most models (excluding the standard iPhone 17). The iPhone 17 Air stands out with its remarkably thin profile compared to other models.
iPhone 17 Air: Slim Profile and Premium Features
Expected to be just 5.5mm thin, the iPhone 17 Air will sport a single rear camera, similar to the iPhone 16E. Despite its slim design, it boasts premium features like a 120Hz ProMotion display, though it may use the A19 chip instead of the A19 Pro. This echoes some of the design choices made for the iPhone 17 Air.
Display and Features
Analyst Mark Gurman suggests a 6.6-inch display for the iPhone 17 Air, positioned between the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max sizes. Ultra-thin bezels, a Dynamic Island cutout, and a new Camera Control button enhance usability and maintain a sleek aesthetic, much like the design direction hinted at in iPhone 17 Dummy Models Leak Design Details.
Battery, Pricing, and Future Innovations
Advanced battery efficiency is expected to maintain battery life comparable to other iPhones, despite the thin design. Priced around $900, similar to the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 17 Air's success could pave the way for bolder innovations like a portless iPhone and a foldable iPhone by 2026, aligning with Apple's future vision discussed in Apple's Fall 2025 Launch: iPhone 17, iOS 19, and More.
