This year, Apple would not offer a successor to the iPhone 16 Plus. Indeed, according to rumors, the firm would replace the Plus model with an Air model. The iPhone 17 Air would be a completely new type of iPhone, with an innovative design and a reduced thickness. A lot of information is already circulating about the dimensions of this iPhone. But, according to a Korean source (Sisa Journal) cited by our colleagues at MacRumors, the iPhone 17 Air could have a thickness of 6.25 mm.

This would make this iPhone Air the thinnest smartphone ever designed by Apple, since it would be even thinner than the iPhone 6. Otherwise, the MacRumors article also mentions the price of the iPhone 17 Air. And the good news is that according to this article, its price would be similar to the price of the current iPhone 16 Plus. As a reminder, this model has a starting price of $899 in the United States, and $1,119 in France.

A model different from the other iPhones

Unfortunately, in order to offer a thinner design, Apple would have to make many concessions in terms of the technical sheet. For example, it is rumored that the iPhone 17 Air would only have a single photo sensor on the back. It is also possible that this iPhone 17 Air will use a 5G modem designed by Apple, instead of the Qualcomm modem. This modem could allow Apple to reduce its costs and save space. However, it is possible that this component will not be as powerful as those provided by Qualcomm.

A competing model is already in the pipeline

In any case, ultra-thin smartphones could become a new trend on the smartphone market in 2025. According to rumors, Samsung is also preparing a “Slim” version of its future Galaxy S25. As a reminder, the Galaxy S25 series will be unveiled this first quarter and rumors suggest that Samsung has scheduled its Unpacked event for January 22. However, the Galaxy S25 Slim is said to be coming later, and not at the same time as the Galaxy S25.
