'iPhone 17 Air' Launching Later This Year With These 10 New Features

While the so-called "iPhone 17 Air" is not expected to launch until September, there are already plenty of rumors about the "ultra-thin" device.


Overall, the "iPhone 17 Air" is shaping up to be a mixed bag. Due to its thinness, the device is expected to have some limited specifications compared to the iPhone 17 Pro models, including only a single rear camera, only a single speaker, no SIM card slot worldwide, and an A19 chip instead of the more powerful A19 Pro chip. Of course, the device will also be equipped with a smaller battery than other iPhone 17 models.

Below, we recap 10 key changes rumored for the "iPhone 17 Air" as of January 2025:

• The thinnest iPhone ever, measuring just 5.5mm at its thinnest point


• 6.6-inch OLED display with Face ID and Dynamic Island
