Phone 17 Slim will likely be called iPhone 17 Air

While the iPhone 16 has not yet been released, information about the next generation of iPhone has begun to appear. The most notable of these is the super-thin iPhone 17 Air model.

According to the latest news from FrontPageTech , Apple's super-thin iPhone model expected to launch next year may be called iPhone 17 Air instead of iPhone 17 Slim as previously rumored.

With this name, the iPhone 17 Air could be positioned in the mid-range segment, similar to what Apple did with the iPad Air and MacBook Air. This also fits with previous rumors about the iPhone 17 Slim model with lower configuration compared to the "Pro" models.

The highlight of the iPhone 17 Air is said to be its ultra-thin design, only about 5 mm. For reference, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are 7.8 mm thick, while the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are 8.3 mm thick. The screen of the device will likely be 6.6 inches in size and have a resolution of 1,260 x 2,740 pixels, equivalent to the iPhone 15 Plus.

Although there were rumors that the price of the iPhone 17 Air would be up to $ 1,299 (about 32.6 million VND), FrontPageTech believes that this price will not be suitable for the configuration and product positioning. They predict that the iPhone 17 Air will be sold at a softer price, suitable for the mid-range segment it is targeting.

With the current leaked news, the iPhone 17 Air is still quite mysterious and information about this product is not really consistent. iFans of this super thin iPhone model need to wait for clearer information from other sources and official information from Apple.
