iPhone 17 Slim design, price range and specs revealed in new leak
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17 series in September next year. Rumors surrounding the new iPhone 17 Air model, which is expected to replace the Plus version in the next lineup, have been buzzing for a while now, and recently some renders of the speculated model have come to light alongside its price range. The iPhone 17 Air would be thinly built and have a 6.6-inch display. It is likely that it will include a 24-megapixel front camera.
AppleTrack revealed the alleged design, specifications and potential price of the iPhone 17 Air in a YouTube video. The video features concept renders of the phone in multiple colors, showing off its ultra-thin build and states that the chassis is made from a combination of titanium and aluminum. These renders show an iPhone model that takes design cues from the iPhone 6 with a slim design. It is said to come with a 6.6-inch OLED display with a ProMotion refresh rate of 120Hz. The display could offer improved scratch resistance and include the Dynamic Island feature.
Apple is expected to integrate under-display Face ID technology into 2025 iPhone models. It could double the front camera resolution to 24 megapixels in the iPhone 17 Air, up from the 12 megapixels of the iPhone 16 Plus. On the back, the YouTuber notes that it will have a single rear camera with a 48-megapixel sensor. The single rear camera could include the 2x telephoto capabilities of the current iPhone 16.
The YouTuber also suggests a change in the rear camera design. Apple could shift the camera module from the left corner to the centerline of the back panel. Furthermore, the iPhone 17 Air is said to contain Apple’s very first 5G and Wi-Fi chips. It will run on an A19 chip and come with Apple Intelligence features, he added.
iPhone 17 Air price range (leaked)
The video suggests a premium price range for the iPhone 17 Air. The price is said to be between $1,299 and $1,500 (approximately Rs. 1,09,00 to 1,26,000). This would be a bit high considering the iPhone 16 Plus’s $899 (roughly Rs. 75,500) price tag for the 128GB storage model.
Like previous iPhone series, the iPhone 17 series is expected to be announced in September 2025. Initially, the iPhone 17 Air was rumored to be called iPhone 17 Slim. According to previous leaks, the iPhone 17 Pro models will run on Apple’s A19 Pro chip alongside 12GB of RAM. The standard iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air could feature an A18 or A19 chip with support for 8GB of RAM. We can expect more details about the next iPhone family to emerge online in the coming months.
