iPhone 17 Air Debuts as Apple’s Thinnest Smartphone Yet

Apple is set to unveil its slimmest iPhone to date, the iPhone 17 Air, in September 2025. With a chassis measuring just 5.5mm thick, this model significantly undercuts the iPhone 17 Pro’s 8.725mm profile, marking a bold step in Apple’s design evolution.

The iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a 6.6-inch OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion technology, offering a balance between size and performance. To achieve its ultra-thin form, Apple has opted for a single 48MP rear camera housed in a horizontal bar, a departure from the multi-lens setups of its predecessors. This design choice, while streamlining the device’s profile, may limit certain photographic capabilities.​

Under the hood, the device is rumored to be powered by Apple’s A19 chip and will include the company’s proprietary C1 5G modem, supporting sub-6GHz bands. Despite its slim design, Apple aims to maintain battery life comparable to current models, thanks to efficient components and optimized software.

In the Philippines, the iPhone 17 Air is anticipated to be priced around $899, aligning with the current iPhone 16 Plus pricing. Local Apple retailers and authorized resellers are expected to offer the device upon its release, catering to consumers seeking a sleek and modern smartphone experience.​
