iPhone 17 series launch is widely expected in September and some reports have even suggested that Apple could unveil the new models on September 9 this year. The new lineup could have some interesting alterations, especially with focus on the rumoured iPhone 17 Air variant which might be similar to the Galaxy S25 Edge model from Samsung, focusing on a sleek design with premium finish. 

But this is Apple, and going by the noise around the iPhone 17 Air launch and its supposed features, the company could be putting a big bet on its premium badge at the back of this model. With the iPhone 17 launch not that far away, here’s a detailed look at the iPhone 17 Air model and what it promises to bring to the market. 

iPhone 17 Air Design 

The rumoured iPhone 17 Air is tipped to feature a slim design, which has become an unknown entity in the company’s phone lineup these days. Apple could upstage these figures with the iPhone 17 Air and go for a 5.5mm frame with a device weighing under 150 grams. 

Reports say the slim or Air iPhone model will feature only a single camera at the back and front, and its biggest highlight is likely to be the aluminium slim design. The recent leaked images of the iPhone 17 Air model alongside the iPhone 16 Pro shows the difference in their size and these cutbacks should make it easy for Apple to pull through with the sleek design. 

iPhone 17 Air Specs 

The 17 Air version is heavily tipped to replace the Plus variant this year. It is expected to carry a 6.7-inch display which gives the right dimensions. The company should offer it with the latest A19 Pro chipset with 12GB RAM which makes it compatible with Apple AI features and Siri AI when it releases next year. 

For imaging, the iPhone 17 Air is tipped to come with a single rear camera and carry a really small battery pack. It seems the company is aware about the battery limitations, which is why it could bring a battery pack for this specific model, which means more money into its coffers. Accessories have become a big part of Apple’s business and this battery pack could be the icing on a costly cake. 

iPhone 17 Air Price 

With all these changes, a sleek body and aluminium finish, Apple is unlikely to go easy with the iPhone 17 Air price when it launches. Going by the market trends, we expect the new model to cost around Rs 1,20,999 for the base variant which puts it below the Pro models but slightly higher than the regular version.
