iPhone 17 Air Takes First Step Towards Production: An In-Depth Look

The iPhone 17 Air has reportedly entered the new product introduction (NPI) phase, the first step toward its production. Apple is said to have prioritized a sleek design for this ultra-thin model. The company consistently releases three iPhone models each year and next year will be trying a third approach - the iPhone 17 Air. It would have a display similar in size to that of the iPhone 16 Plus but much slimmer, around 6mm thick. Reports suggest it may be the most expensive smartphone in the lineup despite being closer to the base model spec-wise.
