The iPhone 17 Air is going to be Apple’s biggest design gamble in years. Rumors say it will be just 5.5mm thick, I can almost see it slipping into a pocket so smoothly you’ll forget it’s there.
Apple is aiming for a balance between beauty and performance. To achieve that super thin body, leaks suggest a single 48MP rear camera instead of the triple lens setup we’re used to. Honestly, for someone like me who only takes everyday photos and quick snaps, one sharp lens is more than enough. On the front, a 24MP selfie camera for video calls and portraits.
The trade off is the battery. With a rumored 3,000 mAh battery inside a 2.49mm thick pack, endurance might be a concern. But the upcoming A19 chip is expected to be power efficient so that might balance things out.
Rumored Specs
- Thickness: 5.5mm ultra-slim design
- Screen: 6.6-inch
- Rear Camera: 48MP single lens
- Front Camera: 24MP
- Processor: A19 chip
- Battery: ~3,000 mAh
Expected around September 2025, the iPhone 17 Air will replace the Plus model, giving users a stylish alternative to the standard and Pro versions. If the leaks are true, this might just be the iPhone that turns heads when you hold it.
