iPhone 17 Air: Seven new features are coming next month
SMRTR summary
Just 5.55mm thin, the iPhone 17 Air will redefine Apple's smartphone lineup when it launches next month, replacing the Plus model with what might be the most significant design change in years.
The new Air will be substantially thinner than current models, which measure between 7.8-8.25mm, and even slimmer than Apple's previously thinnest iPhone 6 (6.9mm).
Beyond its remarkable thinness, the 17 Air introduces a 6.6-inch display that perfectly splits the difference between the Pro (6.3-inch) and Pro Max (6.9-inch) models. For the first time in a non-Pro iPhone, it will feature both an Always On display and high refresh rate technology.
Apple may also surprise consumers by equipping the Air with a version of the A19 Pro chip, though possibly with one GPU core disabled.
The device will sport a minimalist aesthetic with just a single 48MP rear camera, while upgrading the front-facing camera to 24MP. Available in black, silver, light gold, and light blue, the iPhone 17 Air will also incorporate Apple's battery-efficient C1 modem.
