Apple is set to unveil its brand-new “iPhone 17 Air” this year, focusing on aesthetics over practicality. A fresh report from the supply chain highlights key details regarding the size and pricing of the iPhone 17 Air, and mentions that Samsung is already gearing up to create its own version…
Latest Updates on the iPhone 17 Air
The information comes from Sisa Journal, a South Korean news outlet that isn’t widely recognized for its accuracy on Apple-related rumors. However, the report does support several previously mentioned details about the iPhone 17 Air.
Initially, the report states that the device will be 6.25mm in thickness. This is consistent with earlier reports and would make the iPhone 17 Air Apple’s slimmest iPhone to date. For comparison, the current iPhone 16 models are 7.80mm thick, while the iPhone 16 Pro models are 8.25mm thick. The record for the thinnest iPhone so far belongs to the iPhone 6, which measured 6.90mm.
Furthermore, today’s report also aligns with claims from The Wall Street Journal that the iPhone 17 Air will replace the traditional “Plus” model within Apple’s offerings. Reports suggest it will maintain the same entry-level price of $899.
Finally, the article notes that Samsung has begun production on a “Galaxy S25 Slim,” slated for release this year. It appears that Samsung launched this project after the initial rumors surrounding the iPhone 17 Air surfaced last month. Other sources have also confirmed Samsung’s development of the “Galaxy S25 Slim.”
As a quick overview, the iPhone 17 Air is anticipated to feature a 6.6-inch display with ProMotion capabilities for refresh rates up to 120Hz. It is expected to have a single 48MP rear camera coupled with a 24MP front-facing camera. Internally, the iPhone 17 Air will reportedly be powered by an A19 chip, instead of the A19 Pro, and will come with 8GB of RAM.
