With Each New Release, Apple Sparks Curiosity Among Technology Fans With Innovations in Design and Hardware. The Latest Rumors About the iPhone 17 Air Suggest Significant Changes in the Device’s Thickness, Especially in the Camera Area.
Apple is expected to bring one of the biggest changes in recent years to its iPhone lineup, and the new model could arrive as early as the second half of 2025. According to rumors from company sources, the technology giant is planning to replace the “Plus” model with a new version called iPhone 17 Air.
The main differentiator of the device would be its ultra-slim design, which promises to make it the thinnest iPhone ever released by the brand.
One of the Thinnest iPhones in History
According to information from the website The Information, the iPhone 17 Air will have a thickness of approximately 6 mm. However, some sources suggest that the device could be even thinner, reaching 5.5 mm, which would make it the thinnest model ever manufactured by Apple.

Additionally, a Chinese expert revealed that the rear camera bump may be 4 mm, resulting in a total of 9.5 mm at the thickest point.
This information indicates that Apple may be betting on an extremely slim design without compromising the quality of the camera system.
Design and Specifications
Initial leaks indicate that the iPhone 17 Air will have a design similar to the Google Pixel line.
The single rear camera should be positioned on the left, accompanied by a microphone and an LED flash on the right. All of this will be within a horizontal bump that extends along the device.
Regarding the display, rumors suggest a size between 6.6 and 6.7 inches. This would make it larger than the iPhone 17 standard (6.3 inches), but smaller than the iPhone 17 Pro Max (6.9 inches).
There is some discrepancy in the information, as Ice Universe previously stated that the Air model would be the same size as the Pro Max, except for the thickness.
However, this claim contradicts the majority of leaks.
When Is the Launch Expected?
The track record of Ice Universe lends weight to the new information. The leaker has accurately revealed the dimensions of the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max before their launch.
Apple is expected to introduce the iPhone 17 lineup in September 2025, following its traditional schedule. If the rumors are confirmed, the iPhone 17 Air could mark a new phase for ultra-thin smartphones, consolidating Apple’s pursuit of lighter and sleeker designs.
