iPhone 17 Air: Expected price in India, design, camera and what we know so far

The iPhone 17 Air is expected to house a 48MP main camera along with an ultra-wide lens.
It is expected to be powered by the A19 chipset.
Additionally, there’s speculation that Apple might include an in-house Wi-Fi chip.
For quite some time now, we’ve been hearing a lot that Apple will add a new member to its iPhone family in September 2025, and it’s expected to be called the iPhone 17 Air. According to rumours, the standout feature of this model will be its ultra-thin design, possibly making it Apple’s slimmest iPhone yet. The iPhone 17 Air could even replace the Plus variant in the iPhone 17 series, keeping the total number of models at four. This move would add to Apple’s growing “Air” lineup, which already includes the MacBook Air and iPad Air.
iPhone 17 Air design (Expected)
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be incredibly slim, with a thickness of just 6mm. This makes it even thinner than the iPhone 16, which is 7.8mm thick. To achieve this slim profile, Apple could use a technology called Touch and Display Driver Integration (TDDI), which combines the display and touch layers, reducing the overall thickness of the OLED panel. The iPhone 17 Air will reportedly feature a 6.6-inch OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion technology for smoother visuals.
