Although the launch of the iPhone 17 series is still distant, rumors are already circulating about Apple’s next major release. Speculation suggests that the iPhone 17 series will include the thinnest Apple product to date, potentially named the iPhone 17 Air.
A New Addition: iPhone 17 Air
The new model, rumored to be called the iPhone 17 Air, could replace the Plus variant in the lineup and sit between the standard iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro. This speculation comes from YouTuber Jon Prosser, who also suggests that the iPhone 17 Air might be priced similarly to the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Design and Features
The standout feature of the iPhone 17 Air is its rumored thickness of just 5mm, making it the slimmest Apple product ever, even thinner than the current iPad Pro, which measures 5.1mm. Despite its ultra-slim profile, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a large display, a single 48MP rear camera, and the new A19 chip. However, many details about the design and features remain unknown as the launch is still far off.
What’s Next: iPhone 16 Series
While these rumors about the iPhone 17 Air are intriguing, the tech world is currently focused on the upcoming iPhone 16 series, expected to launch in September. The iPhone 16 lineup is anticipated to include four models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. These models are rumored to feature a new design, larger batteries compared to the iPhone 15 series, and the introduction of Apple Intelligence, although this new software feature won’t be available at launch.
