The rumor is, we can soon watch an ultra thin iPhone. Rumor iPhone 17 Air – Or can be called iPhone Slim – may change the current iPhone Plus between Apple’s next iPhone release in the coming months.
Buzzed-About “Air” is being given a lot of attention in the iPhone 17 rumor mill, but there is also a possibility that people are also asking whether Apple may have to renounce facilities to get a super thin phone.
Here we are thin on what we can expect with the newest iPhone.
iPhone 17 Air release date: Is Slimmer iPhone coming this year?
For almost a decade, Apple has organized a program in September to announce his new phone. This year we hope that Apple will reveal the iPhone 17 series, including the rumor iPhone 17 Air.
If the iPhone 17 air rumors are true, Apple will be the latest to join the tendency of ultra-thread phone this year. Last week, I received Samsung’s new lightweight Galaxy S25 Edge after previewing a shocking phone at the Mobile World Congress in March.
Apple’s analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and according to a report from information, the iPhone 17 lineup to follow this fall-relief model may be final. On starting with the iPhone 18, the Apple will reportly divide its phone release to launch low-cost iPhones in the first half of the year (first reserved for iPhone SE models) and the high-end Pro model is announced in half the latter. This would mean that a rumor can debut in the fall in the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, Air and New Foldable iPhone Model 2026. Keep in mind that an iPhone flip or fold has been rumored for years.
You will probably be able to pre -order a new iPhone on Friday after an announcement with phone shipping after a week.
What will be the iPhone 17 air cost?
Initial rumors about an iPhone 17 Air indicated that it could cost more than the iPhone 17 Pro, but an March Bloomberg report suggested that the phone could be around $ 900. This value tag will align with the rumor that “Air” can change the plus, which currently costs $ 899. For comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge begins with $ 1,100.
However, it is also a question of how tariffs can affect the price of an iPhone. Amidst President Donald Trump’s ongoing tariff drama, Apple has survived additional taxes by stocking most of the inventory and receiving most of its products in the tariff discount list.
Apple has transferred some production of US iPhones to India to avoid the stator tariff imposed on China. However, Trump recently stated that he pushed Apple CEO Tim Cook to transfer iPhone production from India to the US. How much all this can affect iPhone prices has not been determined yet.
Despite how the tariffs play, Apple is expected to increase the price of the iPhone. The increase of these prices is rumored to start with the iPhone 17 line, so now prepare to pay more for “air”.
iPhone 17 Air Camera: Potential Downgrade?
Apple may have to do to get a skinier phone, limiting the camera facilities.
Rumor iPhone 17 line is getting a new camera bar which is spread over the width of the phone. But the front page tech shared an iPhone 17 air video in February that shown a physical mockup of the phone based on rumors. One of the more surprising revelations was a small camera bar with a lens on the left, suggesting that the “air” phone has a single rear camera, similar to the iPhone 16E ($ 599). It is not clear whether the camera would be similar to 16E or if Apple Samsung goes on the route and included the main camera from the iPhone 17 Pro.
Single camera theory analyst is supported by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and a Bloomberg report, stating that there may not be ultravide and 5x telephoto lenses in the rumor air that have become staples of Apple’s premium iPhones.
According to analyst Jeff Pu, in a little good news, it is also rumored that the front-faceing “selfie” camera will be upgraded to 24 megapixels on all iPhone 17 models including all iPhone 17 models, The Air.
iPhone 17 Air vs iPhone 17 Pro
This can be given a lot of attention, but the rumor air seems to be less replacement for an advanced pro model and plus.
However, there are rumors that according to analysts Jeff Pu and Ming-Chi Kuo, there will be a 6.6-inch performance in the air. If accurate, it would mean that the air display is slightly smaller than the iPhone 16 Plus, with a 6.7-inch display, but larger than the iPhone 16 Pro, with a 6.3-inch display. The iPhone 16 Pro Max goes with a 6.9 -inch display. It is not clear that the 17 Air screen will be a Pro Motion display such as the iPhone Pro model.
If the rumor air remains in its name, the biggest possible benefit it can present on a supporter its size and weight. A Bloomberg report from March said that the iPhone 16 can measure the iPhone’s air 5.5 mm thick compared to the iPhone 16 Pro at 8.25 mm.
Mac rumors reported that a leakar on the Korean-Langose Navar blog going by “Yeux1122” said that the rumor iPhone 17 Air weighs about 145 grams (5.11 ounces). Compare it to the iPhone 16 Pro, which weighs 199 grams (7.03 ounces). If this rumor proves to be true, the wind will be slightly heavier than the iPhone 13 mini, which weighs 141 grams (4.97 ounces).
Bloomberg’s report also noted that super slim bezels are expected compared to the rest of the iPhone 17 Air, as well as a camera control button and a dynamic island cutout in the display.
iPhone 17 Air Battery Life Expectations
Between the challenges of dropping an iPhone down, it can be ascertained how to reduce the size of the battery without compromising the battery life.
Initially, it was assumed that a skinier iPhone would just have a low battery life because a large battery would be less space for the house. But recently, Appleinsider reported that a skinier iPhone can use a silicone-node battery that can help increase your battery life.
Yeux1122 stated that the battery capacity is 2,800mAh, depending on the details generated with “massive production confirmed samples” according to the maches. It states that a high -density battery in the air can increase its “real capacity” by 15 to 20%.
If the rumor uses the iPhone 17 Air Silicon battery technology, it will be the first iPhone to do so.
Are iPhone Air rumors and leaks trusted?
This is just rumors. The leading speculation for the release of the iPhone is often based on internal knowledge or leaked information from the teams working on the design of the iPhone, but those plans may develop and not necessarily reflected in the final product. We will only be able to confirm these rumors with certainty when Apple officially releases the next iPhone and we can see it for ourselves.
