The anticipated iPhone 17 Air may launch alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max models later this year, with images of dummy units of the device circulating online once more. A recent video highlighted the device’s slim profile in comparison to other models in the lineup. With additional leaked images providing further insight, the design elements and expected features of the iPhone 17 Air have emerged across social media platforms.
Expected Dimensions and Specifications of iPhone 17 Air
Experts suggest that the iPhone 17 Air will be significantly slimmer than the other variants in the upcoming series. Images from dummy units shared by **Sonny Dickson** on X (formerly Twitter) show the left, right, and bottom edges of all four models, emphasizing the Air version’s reduced thickness.
Citing its sleek design, the iPhone 17 Air is reported to have minimal space for the USB Type-C port and side buttons, with a thickness of approximately 5.65mm at its thinnest point. Notably, this model appears taller than both the standard and iPhone 17 Pro models, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max stands out as the tallest and thickest variant.
The slimmer profile of the iPhone 17 Air suggests that it will likely feature a smaller battery compared to its counterparts and would include a single rear camera. Analyst **Ming-Chi Kuo** has indicated that the Air variant may come equipped with 12GB of RAM, aligning it with the specifications of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
Kuo also speculated that Apple might consider outfitting the standard iPhone 17 model with 12GB of RAM as well. However, he noted that “potential supply shortages” could lead to a decision to stick with 8GB of RAM, with a final verdict anticipated from the company in May.
Further insights from Kuo revealed that all models in the upcoming iPhone 18 lineup, projected for release in the latter half of 2026, are expected to include 12GB of RAM. This shift appears aimed at addressing the growing competition in the smartphone market.
Previous leaks hinted that the iPhone 17 Air could feature a 6.6-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 24-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 48-megapixel rear camera. It is likely to be powered by either an A18 or A19 chipset, built with a titanium frame, and may carry a price tag ranging from $1,299 to $1,500 (approximately Rs. 1,09,000 to Rs. 1,26,000).
