Apple's all-new, ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air is rumored with a single 48MP rear camera, 8GB of RAM for Apple Intelligence, its in-house A17 chip made on TSMC's new 2nm process node, and more. In a new report from MacRumors, several credible sources over the last few months have claimed Apple is working on a redesigned, significantly thinner iPhone 17 smartphone for 2025. It's not yet known as the iPhone 17 Air, but I'm really digging the iPhone 17 Air name, so it'll be called that from now on out until Apple confirms the official name of its new ultra-thin iPhone 17.

We should expect the iPhone 17 Air to sport a 6.6-inch display, an Apple A19 processor made on TSMC's current 3nm process (the same used for the A18 Pro chip) according to a new research note from investment bank Haitong International, and analyst Jeff Pu. He also expects the iPhone 17 Air to feature an aluminum frame, FaceID, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, 24-megapixel front camera, and 8GB of RAM for Apple Intelligence.



Apple will most likely unveil its new ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air smartphone in September 2025, so we've still got a while between now and then, so rumors will become a little more solid as we get closer to the reveal. But, Apple needs this..

. in a world where we've got solid foldables from Samsung, Google, Xiaomi, and others..

. Apple has been stagnant beyond belief with its design of the iPhone..

. hopefully that changes in 2025 with the iPhone 17 Air..
