iPhone 17 Air: What We Know About Apple’s Slimmest iPhone Yet

The iPhone 17 has been the subject of rumors for many months, especially about a significantly redesigned model possibly called the “iPhone 17 Air.” As we already know, this variant will be replacing the iPhone 17 Plus as Apple’s fourth iPhone option, sitting alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

iPhone 17 Air: Apple’s Thinnest iPhone Yet with A19 Chip, 48MP Camera, and More

The coming iPhone 17 Air is predicted to have an extremely slim profile, with rumors of it measuring anywhere from 5.5mm to 6mm thick. Notable recent reports from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo say that the device will only be about 5.5mm thick, making it the thinnest iPhone yet — and taking the title that the iPhone 6 held since its debut in 2014 at 6.9mm. This would mean the iPhone 17 Air would be about 30% thinner than the 7.8mm iPhone 16 and around 33% thinner than the 8.25mm iPhone 16 Pro models.

In terms of size, the iPhone 17 Air will be very close in dimensions to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro that was introduced last year at a thickness of 5.1mm. Apple is banking on the super-slim build to better resonate with consumers than previous mini and Plus iPhone models, which haven’t sold as well as the standard and Pro counterparts. After the 5.4-inch iPhone mini became the last of its kind, the iPhone 16 Plus is tipped as the last Plus model. Despite its slim profile, the iPhone 17 Air will feature a camera bump.

It will feature a single 48-megapixel rear camera due to space limitations in the compact body. While early rumors suggested the iPhone 17 Air might be pricier than the Pro models, it is now expected to be a mid-tier option, offering a 6.6-inch display and an A19 chip, which will not be as fast as the A19 Pro in the iPhone 17 Pro models. Though Kuo predicts a 5.5mm thickness, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg suggested in December that the iPhone 17 Air could be 6.25mm thick, still making it the thinnest iPhone to date. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to launch alongside the other iPhone 17 models in September 2025.
