Apple iPhone 17 Air: Thinnest iPhone Ever at Just 6mm, Launching September 2025
Apple is rumored to launch its slimmest iPhone yet—the iPhone 17 Air —boasting an impressive 6mm thickness. Set to debut in September 2025, this highly anticipated device is expected to replace the underperforming iPhone Plus series. Originally rumored as the iPhone 17 Slim, the iPhone 17 Air’s sleek 6mm profile cements its place as the thinnest iPhone ever, redefining smartphone design.
According to a report by Hong Kong-based investment bank Haitong, the iPhone 17 Air will outdo the iPhone 6’s 6.9mm profile in slimness. While much of the details remain unclear, the phone is likely to feature a 6.6-inch display and run on Apple’s A19 chip, a standard variant designed for optimal performance.
Despite its sleek design, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to include only one rear camera, which might disappoint photography enthusiasts. However, renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo emphasizes that Apple is prioritizing an “innovative form factor design” with this model, suggesting that aesthetics and usability will take precedence over flagship-grade camera setups.
This bold move by Apple could redefine smartphone design. As more leaks surface, it will be interesting to see how the iPhone 17 Air balances innovation and practicality. One thing’s for sure—this release is shaping up to be a pivotal moment for Apple.
