iPhone 17 Air: Rumoured launch date, specs, expected price in India, US and more from Apple’s thinnest iPhone

Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup around September 2025, and this year’s most hyped addition is the iPhone 17 Air. Unlike the standard iPhone 17, Pro and Pro Max variants, the Air model is expected to feature a strikingly slim form factor — possibly measuring just 5.5 mm in thickness. This would make it Apple’s thinnest smartphone ever, and a direct competitor to Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge in terms of sleekness and portability.Here’s everything we know about the iPhone 17 Air.

iPhone 17 Air colour options (Expected)
Leaks from reliable sources, including tipsters Majin Buu and Fixed Focus Digital, suggest that Apple will offer the iPhone 17 Air in four colourways. These include the classic black and silver finishes, along with lighter shades of gold and blue. Notably, the blue variant is rumoured to resemble the sky blue tone seen on the MacBook Air M4, rather than any past iPhone hues. Although earlier speculation hinted at possible green or purple variants, current reports make no mention of those colours.

Display, Chipset and Camera: What to Expect
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a 6.6-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering smoother animations and an enhanced user experience. Apple appears to be prioritising portability, with the device tipped to weigh just around 145 grams.

Under the hood, the iPhone 17 Air is likely to be powered by Apple’s next-generation A19 chipset paired with 8GB RAM. Battery capacity is expected to be around 2800mAh. Despite the slim body, Apple may include its Fusion Camera technology, allowing up to 2x optical-quality zoom via a single rear sensor. This would ensure competitive camera performance even with a minimalist lens setup.
