Apple's iPhone 17 Air: So, Apple is planning something pretty exciting with the iPhone 17 series, and one of the models everyone’s talking about is the iPhone 17 Air. This device is rumored to replace the Plus variant, but with a twist – it’s going to be thinner, sleeker, and more premium. Curious? Here's what we know so far.

The Design – Slimmer Than Ever

As you'd expect from a model with “Air” in its name, the iPhone 17 Air is set to be crazy thin. Reports say it could be just 5.5mm thick at its thinnest point, which would make it the slimmest iPhone Apple has ever made (yes, even thinner than the iPhone 6!). The screen is said to be 6.6 inches, which positions it nicely between the Pro and Pro Max models. Think of it as the perfect balance of size and sleekness.

Display – Always-On and ProMotion?

If you've been waiting for Apple to bring features like Always-On Display and ProMotion to the standard iPhones, the iPhone 17 Air might be your lucky break. The phone is expected to get a 120Hz refresh rate, though some reports suggest it could be capped at 90Hz. Either way, it’ll offer a much smoother experience than older iPhones, whether you’re scrolling through apps or watching videos.

Performance – The A19 Chip

On the inside, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to run on the brand-new A19 chip, which should offer a noticeable performance boost over last year’s A18. This version will be paired with Apple’s in-house 5G modem, which could make your internet experience even faster.

Camera – A 48MP Main Sensor

For all the photography lovers out there, the iPhone 17 Air is rumored to sport a 48MP rear camera, which is a huge jump from previous Air models. Plus, there’s talk of a 24MP selfie camera, so you can expect some crisp, high-quality selfies.

Competing with Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge

It seems like Apple isn’t the only one coming out with a sleek, thin device this year. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is also rumored to sport a similar ultra-thin design, and the two phones will likely be going head-to-head. It’s shaping up to be a battle of the slim-and-premium flagships.

That’s all we know so far, but with Apple still keeping things under wraps, this is all speculation. We should be hearing more details as we get closer to launch, but for now, it looks like the iPhone 17 Air is definitely something to keep an eye on!

Let’s see if it lives up to the hype!
