Leaked news about the iPhone 17 Slim, which is said to be Apple's ultra-thin iPhone model to be released next year, has appeared recently. But according to the latest revelation, it may be called the iPhone 17 Air.

TechRadar , a source from FrontPageTech, said that the thinner iPhone model previously leaked by some sources could be called the iPhone 17 Air, expected to launch next year.

With this name, the iPhone 17 Air is determined to be in the mid-range segment. Because Apple already has the iPad Air line that is between the basic iPad and the Pro models, and is positioned as a product with a thin design. Similarly, the MacBook Air is also a product positioned as a thin device of the 'Apple'. This is also consistent with previous rumors about the iPhone 17 Slim with a lower configuration compared to the "Pro" models.

FrontPageTech also shared some alleged renders of the iPhone 17 Air, and it shows a familiar iPhone design to the Dynamic Island, but significantly thinner and with only a single rear camera.

The source also reiterated some previously leaked specifications such as the lack of a titanium frame and the lack of Apple's most powerful chip next year. The iPhone 17 Air is said to only use the A19 chip instead of the A19 Pro - the chip for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

However, the notable highlight of the iPhone 17 Air is its ultra-thinness. The device is said to be only about 5mm thick. For reference, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are 7.8mm thick, while the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are 8.3mm thick. Therefore, the iPhone 17 Air will be a significantly thinner iPhone.

In addition, FrontPageTech also reiterated some leaked news about the screen specifications of the iPhone 17 Air with 6.6 inches, 1,260 x 2,740 resolution, similar to the iPhone 15 Plus with a 6.7-inch screen, 1,290 x 2,796 resolution.

Not only the iPhone 17 Air, but also leaked news about the iPhone 17 series also mentioned a lot about Apple significantly slimming down the iPhone model launched in 2025. According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg , Apple is said to be focusing on developing a thinner iPhone model. This direction has always been considered Apple's goal not only for the iPhone but also for all of its products.

iPhone 17 Air price

Rumors about the price of the super-thin iPhone 17 are said to be at $ 1,299 (about 32.6 million VND). This quite high price was revealed by source @ UniverseIce on Weibo.

However, according to FrontPageTech, with the specifications of the iPhone 17 Air, this device fits in a more mid-range price range, true to the positioning it is aiming for.

In addition, a report from The Information in June 2024 also mentioned that the ultra-thin iPhone 17 could be used by Apple to replace the iPhone 17 Plus in 2025. Therefore, it is difficult for this product to have a superior price, on par with the "Pro" line.

With the current leaked news, the iPhone 17 Air is still quite mysterious and the information about this product is not really consistent. Fans of Apple's super-thin device need to wait for more clear information from other sources and official information from Apple.

Anyway, the iPhone 17 Air is considered a "breath of fresh air" with a price positioned in the mid-range segment and the thin and light design of the "Air" line.
