iPhone 17 Air: A Sleek Redesign with Compromised Performance

Apple is reportedly planning an all-new iPhone model called the iPhone 17 Air for release in September of 2025. According to multiple sources, this new iPhone model will feature a dramatically different design compared to current iPhones, including being significantly thinner than existing models and featuring an aluminum rather than titanium chassis.

The camera layout could also change with the iPhone 17 Air: Instead of two or three cameras on the back (depending on the version), it may have just one. This would be paired with a single front-facing camera too, which is expected to receive an upgrade from 12MP to 24MP.

Other potential upgrades we've heard about for the iPhone 17 Air include a new coating technology on the display that could make it more scratch-resistant and add a new anti-reflection layer. It may also feature Wi-Fi 6E support (which uses the 6Ghz band), an A19 chip with possibly only 8GB of RAM, and potentially a change to using Apple's own modem instead of one from Qualcomm as on current models.
