Leaked Details Suggest iPhone 17 Air Will Be Slimmest iPhone Yet

Apple's rumored ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air may launch at $899, featuring a 5.5mm chassis, ProMotion display, and competitive battery life.

The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to replace the iPhone 16 Plus in Apple's lineup, with a starting price around $899, matching its predecessor.
The device is expected to feature a 5.5mm thickness, making it significantly slimmer than previous iPhone models and competitors like Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge.
Despite its slim profile, the iPhone 17 Air is said to maintain battery performance comparable to current iPhones, achieved through hardware and software optimizations.
Key features may include a 6.6-inch ProMotion display, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, and the new A19 chip, though it will lack mmWave 5G support and a physical SIM tray.
Apple reportedly considered removing the USB-C charging port entirely for this model, hinting at a potential shift toward port-free iPhones in future designs.
