iPhone 17 Air: The excitement is at its peak for Apple fans as the company is about to bring a major shake-up to its iPhone lineup with the iPhone 17 series, expected in early September 2025. The most talked about thing is a new model, the iPhone 17 Air, which will replace the “Plus” variant. This device is expected to give users a fresh experience with a focus on slimness, portability, and premium features. Apple hasn’t officially announced anything, but leaks and rumors from industry insiders have revealed a lot of details.
Expected Price in India
According to leaks, the iPhone 17 Air will come in the mid-tier range, slightly more expensive than the standard iPhone 17 and cheaper than the Pro variants. According to rumors, the price could be around $899 in the US and ₹89,900 in India.
Launch Date
The iPhone 17 series is expected to launch at Apple’s annual fall event, probably on September 9 or 10, 2025. Pre-orders can start after the announcement, and the global release is expected within a few weeks. India and worldwide fans are eagerly waiting, and the excitement is even more due to the design and slim profile of the iPhone 17 Air.
Design and Key Upgrades
The name “Air” itself means ultra-thin and lightweight design. According to rumors, iPhone 17 Air will be the slimmest iPhone, just 6mm thick, which is quite different from the old “Plus” models. The phone is expected to have a 6.6-inch LTPO OLED display, which is a mid-size option and will give a comfortable in-hand feel. With a 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate, scrolling and animations will give a smooth and fluid experience. There is a new horizontal, pill-shaped camera module in the back, which will give a modern and stylish look, as seen in the Pro models.
Specifications
Apple’s A19 Pro chip is expected in the iPhone 17 Air, perhaps with a slightly trimmed GPU compared to Pro siblings. Multitasking and AI features will be easily supported with 12GB RAM. The camera is expected to have a 48MP rear and 24MP front camera, which will deliver sharp and detailed images. The battery can be around 2,800mAh due to the ultra-thin design, which is sufficient for daily use, slightly smaller than the Pro models.
Overall, the iPhone 17 Air looks like a stylish, lightweight and powerful addition to Apple’s lineup, which has a premium design, large ProMotion display and strong performance. Fans are eagerly countdown to the official launch, ready to see if this ultra-thin iPhone is worthy of the hype or not.
