Apple Unveils Slimmest iPhone 17 Air 5G for 2025
3 Aug
Summary
- iPhone 17 Air to be just 5.5mm thick, 2mm slimmer than iPhone 16 Pro
- Apple may implement $50 price hike across entire iPhone 17 lineup
- iPhone 17 Air to feature single-lens 48MP camera, departing from multi-lens setup
In the lead-up to Apple's highly anticipated iPhone unveiling in September 2025, all eyes are on the latest entry in the company's premium lineup - the iPhone 17 Air 5G. As per a recent investor memo, Apple's forthcoming iPhone 17 series is expected to cater to a broad spectrum of users, featuring four distinct models: the standard iPhone 17, the lightweight iPhone 17 Air, the performance-driven iPhone 17 Pro, and the top-tier iPhone 17 Pro Max.
One of the standout features of the iPhone 17 Air is its remarkably slim design. Reportedly measuring just 5.5mm at its thickest point, and potentially even slimmer in certain areas, the iPhone 17 Air is poised to be among the slimmest smartphones available. This marks a dramatic reduction from the 8.25mm thickness of the current iPhone 16 Pro, with industry analysts predicting the new device will shave off around 2mm compared to its predecessor.
However, the anticipated launch of the iPhone 17 series may come with a price hike. According to a recent investor memo, Apple may implement a $50 increase across the entire lineup, including the standard iPhone 17, the Air model, and the Pro variants.
