iPhone Air

Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Air won’t just be thinner than the standard iPhone 17. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, it may also share an important hardware feature with the iPhone 17 Pro models.

If this design leak is correct, the rumored iPhone 17 Air will be barely thicker than its side buttons at its thinnest point.

iPhone 17 Air is coming this fall as an ultra-thin new form factor, and it could pose a significant threat to the iPhone 17 Pro line. But there’s a good reason why launching the new model is worth the risk for Apple.

Knowing dimensions is one thing, but holding an iPhone 17 Air dummy model is quite another, as a new video from Unbox Therapy shows quite well.

Later this year, Apple is going to debut its thinnest iPhone to date. At just 5.5mm thin, iPhone 17 Air will be record-setting.

You might anticipate that an ultra-thin phone comes with awful battery life. After all, iPhone battery life improved drastically over the past few years, as Apple has made increasingly thicker iPhones. However, at least according to current rumors, iPhone 17 Air won’t compromise on battery life. Here’s why.

Apple makes the iPhone better every single year. But for a long time now, new models have been a bit “boring” compared to the product’s early days of innovation. According to rumors about what’s coming next, however, the iPhone’s “boring era” is ending this fall and staying gone for a while yet.

This fall, Apple is launching a new ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air that could prove especially compelling. The new model will have some shortcomings though, including only a single rear camera. But thanks to a little fact-finding exercise, I now know that won’t matter as much to me as I’d initially feared.

After years of mostly unchanged iPhone lineups, Apple has already shaken things up this year by debuting the iPhone 16e instead of the expected new iPhone SE. The company is just getting started though, as this fall’s iPhone 17 family—particularly the Air and Pro Max—will change even more, with direct inspiration from the Apple Watch.

At this point, pretty much all the rumors hint at Apple launching a new ultra-slim iPhone later this year, which is expected to be called the iPhone 17 Air. The idea is to create an iPhone with a brand new design to make it more appealing. But will the iPhone 17 Air really convince people to upgrade?

One of the biggest narratives currently going around about Apple is the company’s AI struggles. But while those struggles are very real, Apple has two big aces up its sleeve that should minimize the damage from ‘new Siri’ shipping late, and propel the company into a bright future. Those two things: innovations in Apple’s upcoming hardware and software.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air has a lot going for it. But it will also have at least one notable shortcoming: only a single rear camera. In our first look at a case for the iPhone 17 Air, however, it’s clear that Apple plans to give that camera its own unique emphasis through a bold design choice.

A lot of excitement has surrounded this fall’s brand new iPhone 17 Air model. But per findings from a just-published survey of 3,500 current iPhone users, the device could prove a tougher sell for Apple than many of us might expect.

Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup will introduce one major new model: the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air. Thanks to this new option, and some changes to the 17 Pro line, the company could finally please two very different kinds of users.

The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be the slimmest iPhone Apple has ever made, and a report over the weekend suggested that the company even considered making it the first portless phone. It said the iPhone maker ultimately decided against this, in part because it feared removing the USB-C port would have brought it into conflict with the EU.

However, I’ve had confirmation from the bloc that dropping the USB-C port for a completely portless phone would in fact be completely legal …

Apple is making the biggest change to its iPhone lineup in years this fall with the iPhone 17 Air. The device will be an interesting combination of features and aesthetics. Here are the 17 most important iPhone 17 Air rumors…

Thanks to Apple leaker Sonny Dickson, we now have our first look at some dummy models for the iPhone 17 lineup. These dummy models highlight a number of things: new camera bump designs across the Air and Pro models, MagSafe support across the whole lineup, varying thicknesses, and more.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, iPhone 17 Air will feature a number of features from the iPhone 16 Pro, including Camera Control and ProMotion. Rumors have long suggested that the entire iPhone 17 lineup would feature ProMotion, but it wasn’t quite clear whether or not iPhone 17 Air would feature Camera Control. Despite the thinness though, it now seems likely the phone will feature Camera Control.

Apple had also considered making the iPhone 17 Air its first “port-free” iPhone, and going all in on wireless charging. The company ultimately decided against this.

The upcoming iPhone 17 Air is expected to be all about sleekness – getting the thinnest iPhone ever, though at the expense of specifications.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo surprised everyone earlier this year when he suggested that the device may be even thinner than expected, and his view has now been echoed by another leaker …

By this point, we’re seeing a very consistent story emerging in terms of the iPhone 17 design for each of the four models – and a new video with 3D-printed mockups helps bring those designs to life.

The designs are based on CAD drawings first shared by Majin Bu and since endorsed by two other Apple leakers …

While there have been some differences of opinion between leakers in the past, three high-profile ones have all endorsed the same CAD drawing of the complete iPhone 17 line-up.

The drawing shows the three completely different camera layouts expected for the base iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Air, and the two iPhone 17 Pro models …
