In an unexpected twist of events, it has been announced that Apple would be replacing the Plus model with the stylish new iPhone 17 Air. With a profile as low as 5.5mm, this device is expected to be the slimmest iPhone ever, drawing inspiration from the lightweight design concept of the iPad Air and MacBook Air. Offering a compromise between the Pro (6.3″) and Pro Max (6.9″), the Air will have a 6.6-inch display and be positioned between the regular and Pro variants.

The iPhone 17 Air may use a single 48 MP rear camera to preserve its featherlight design, putting style before functionality.  Additionally, it will probably solely use eSIMs and do away with the actual SIM tray.  The device is anticipated to be powered by Apple’s new A19 chip, which may be combined with the company’s proprietary 5G modem, which is intended to be more efficient but may not support mmWave.

Along with a minor facelift, the iPhone 17 will have a slightly larger 6.3-inch display, up from the iPhone 16’s 6.1-inch screen.  With a 24MP front camera that offers better video calls and crisper selfies, the dual-camera configuration is anticipated to persist.  The A19 chip, which is built on an improved 3nm technology and promises higher performance and battery life, will power it from underneath.

The real upgrades are found in Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.  In order to improve multitasking and future-proof performance, both versions are anticipated to come equipped with ProMotion screens, the new A19 Pro CPU, and an increase in RAM from 8GB to 12GB.

If rumours are to be beleived, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will have a triple 48MP camera system with 8K video recording compatibility and wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto capabilities.  According to reports, Apple wants to market this phone as a useful instrument for creating professional-quality videos.  The horizontal camera bump, which replaces the long-used square module and represents a significant design change, is another noteworthy element.

It’s interesting to note that Apple might return to using aluminium for the Pro versions instead of titanium.  The company’s 2030 carbon-neutral targets are in line with this action, which may also improve longevity while making the gadgets lighter and possibly less expensive to manufacture.

Wi-Fi 7 is going to be supported by all iPhone 17 models, providing higher data rates and lower latency.  Innovations like battery adhesive strips, which were unveiled last year, are probably going to continue in line with Apple’s push for simpler repairability.

Additionally, ProMotion screens, which were previously only found on Pro models, may now be found on all models, providing improved responsiveness and smoother scrolling even on base versions.

Pricing and Availability

According to its customary release schedule, Apple is anticipated to formally introduce the iPhone 17 series in September 2025. The iPhone 17 may launch at $799, but according to some rumours, a price increase is imminent, potentially raising the base model to $899 as a result of component upgrades and changes in the market. That amounts to a starting price of ₹79,900 to ₹89,900 in India.

As always, while Apple remains tight-lipped until launch day, the iPhone 17 series is shaping up to be a bold evolution — not just an iteration. Whether you’re eyeing the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, the power-packed Pro Max, or the standard model, this fall’s iPhone lineup promises something for every kind of user.
