Apple is set to unveil its brand new “iPhone 17 Air” model this year, with an emphasis on design rather than functionality. A recent supply chain report outlines expected details regarding the dimensions and pricing of the iPhone 17 Air, noting that Samsung is already working on a similar product…
Latest Information on the iPhone 17 Air
The insights are sourced from Sisa Journal, a South Korean publication that lacks a long-standing reputation for Apple-related rumors. However, the report aligns with several previously mentioned updates about the iPhone 17 Air.
First, the report indicates that the device will be 6.25mm thick. This matches earlier reports and would mark the iPhone 17 Air as Apple’s thinnest model to date. The existing iPhone 16 variations are 7.80mm thick, while the iPhone 16 Pro models are 8.25mm. Previously, the slimmest iPhone was the iPhone 6, measuring 6.90mm thick.
The report also backs claims made by The Wall Street Journal, stating that the iPhone 17 Air will replace the “Plus” model in Apple’s collection, maintaining the same starting price of $899.
Furthermore, the report mentions that Samsung has commenced work on a “Galaxy S25 Slim” model aimed for release this year. This initiative appears to have been spur-of-the-moment, reacting to the initial rumors regarding the iPhone 17 Air that surfaced last month. Other sources have also confirmed Samsung’s involvement in the “Galaxy S25 Slim” project.
As a reminder, the iPhone 17 Air is anticipated to boast a 6.6-inch display with ProMotion capabilities allowing refresh rates of up to 120Hz. It is expected to include a single 48MP rear camera paired with a 24MP front camera. Additionally, the device is rumored to incorporate an A19 chip, rather than the A19 Pro, along with 8GB of RAM.
