"Multiple sources confirm Apple will introduce the iPhone 17 Air, replacing the unsuccessful Plus model with radical form factor innovation. Ming-Chi Kuo reports the device measures just 5.5mm at its thinnest point, approaching the iPad Pro M4's 5.1mm profile. This represents Apple's thinnest iPhone ever, requiring breakthrough engineering solutions. The ultra-thin design necessitates significant compromises and innovations simultaneously. Leaked specifications suggest a 2,800-2,900 mAh battery capacity, roughly 20% smaller than current iPhone models."
"Apple will need advanced battery technology to offset the reduced physical space. Dummy units and CAD renders reveal a horizontal camera bar housing a single 48-megapixel sensor. Ice Universe reports the camera bump measures 4mm thick, bringing total thickness to 9.5mm at the thickest point. A titanium-aluminum frame construction provides structural rigidity while maintaining lightweight characteristics essential for the Air positioning."
Apple announced a September 9 event with an interactive thermal logo that shifts from cool blue to warm orange under touch and used the "Awe Dropping" tagline suggesting major hardware updates. Rumors point to an iPhone 17 Air with radical ultra-thin engineering—about 5.5mm at its thinnest point—plus a 6.6-inch display, a smaller 2,800–2,900 mAh battery, a single 48-megapixel camera in a horizontal bar, and a titanium-aluminum frame. Reports also indicate redesigned iPhone 17 Pro models and an Apple Watch Ultra 3 after a two-year development cycle, with pricing expectations similar to previous Plus models.
