The device is expected to feature a titanium-aluminium frame, offering durability while maintaining a lightweight build. The rear camera bump may be housed in a horizontal bar, accommodating a single-lens camera, LED flash, and microphone.

Display and Performance The iPhone 17 Air may come with a 6.6-inch OLED screen featuring a 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate for smoother visuals. Apple is expected to use a more advanced display material to enhance scratch and drop resistance.
The device is anticipated to be powered by the next-generation A19 chip, promising improved speed and efficiency. Additionally, Apple’s in-house 5G modem will support sub-6GHz connectivity, though it might lack mmWave technology. Camera Upgrades Unlike the Pro models with multiple cameras, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a single 48MP rear camera.

The front camera is rumoured to be upgraded to 24MP, enhancing selfie and video call quality. Expected Price and Launch Date in India Positioned between the standard iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro, the iPhone 17 Air is speculated to start at around $899 (approximately ₹89,900 in India).
The launch event is likely to be scheduled between September 11 and 13, 2025, alongside other iPhone 17 models. Final Name: iPhone 17 Air or iPhone 17 Slim? While Apple has not officially confirmed the name, leaks suggest that the device may be called either the "iPhone 17 Air" or "iPhone 17 Slim." Given Apple’s history of using the "Air" branding in iPads and MacBooks, the iPhone 17 Air seems like a strong possibility.
