The iPhone ‘Air’ is set to come in sky blue along with three other color options. Apple’s new iOS 26 feature, Adaptive Power, may reduce battery drain for a slimmer iPhone. The price of the handset is still uncertain and might be affected by tariffs.
The buzz around the ultra-thin iPhone 17 ‘Air’ is intensifying as its release nears. Speculations suggest it could replace the iPhone 16 Plus, offering upgrades like enhanced RAM, new colors, and a battery boost due to iOS 26’s Adaptive Power.
Rumors indicate that the iPhone 17 Air may feature a thickness of 5.5mm, compared to the iPhone 16 Pro’s 8.25mm thickness. Reports also mention the potential downgrade in camera features, with a single rear camera being a possibility.
Analysts suggest that the Air may have a 6.6-inch display with a resolution of 1260×2740. Performance enhancements like an A19 Pro chip and a 12GB RAM upgrade are also speculated for the iPhone 17 Air.
Reports hint at a silicon-anode battery for improved battery life, along with new color options. The name for the slimmer iPhone is yet to be confirmed, although most leaks refer to it as the ‘Air’.
Expected to be launched in September, the iPhone 17 Air’s price is estimated around $900, with potential tariff impacts still uncertain. Rumors also mention future iPhone releases and possible pricing changes.
