In recent months, multiple reliable sources have claimed that Apple plans to release a redesigned and significantly thinner iPhone 17 model next year. The device name hasn’t been revealed yet, so we’re calling it the “iPhone 17 Air” for now.
There have been conflicting rumors about the design and specifications of the device, but most sources agree that it will feature a display of around 6.6 inches. Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in July that he expected the device to feature a standard A19 chip, Dynamic Island, a single rear camera, and an Apple-designed 5G modem. .

Pu expects the slimmer iPhone 17 model to have a noticeably new design compared to previous iPhone models. He said he doesn’t expect the iPhone 17 Plus to appear in next year’s lineup, so the device will be a mid-range iPhone to replace the Plus model.
Apple is likely to announce the iPhone 17 Air in September 2025, so the device is still a long way off and some features may change over time.
Pu has proven to be a mostly accurate source of information about upcoming Apple products.
