It's been a while now that we've been talking about the idea that Apple is working on a new iPhone 17 Air. The latter would have a reworked design and especially a more affordable price than the Pro models. Our colleagues at Phonearena have just told us more.

Who will the iPhone be aimed at? 17 Air ?

It seems that this iPhone 17 Air, sometimes also called iPhone Slim, was inspired by the success of the MacBook Air which is in the mid-range and is intended for people who cannot necessarily afford the highest specifications. The same goes for the iPad Air.

Therefore, the Cupertino firm could follow the same plan with the iPhone Air. It remains to be seen whether it will be as successful as on Mac and tablet.

In any case, this information that reaches us must of course be taken with a pinch of salt. According to the Korean site The Elec, the iPhone 17 Air would be deprived of a telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, a feature that would thus be reserved for the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max models.

Similarly, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, it would feature a standard A19 chip, a home-made 5G modem, and a single 48-megapixel photo sensor. Its main asset would be a large 6.6-inch screen and an ultra-thin design (6 mm thick).

A major innovation

Let us also recall that according to the site Digitimes, Apple has identified the technology that will allow it to offer this new extra-thin iPhone. It is the Taiwanese company Novatek that is said to have announced the start of mass production of this new TDDI OLED screen during the second quarter of 2025.

This innovation makes it possible to create thinner smartphones. Precisely, this calendar corresponds to the future iPhone 17 Air, so that things seem to be getting clearer. But, as always in such cases, the best is to wait for the tech giant to make the news official during a keynote.

Given the latest information we have on this model, would you be interested ? Let us know in the comments.

What to remember :

• The arrival of the new iPhone 17 Air seems to be getting closer
• This mid-range model should have real assets to convince
• However, it will not benefit from the most advanced specifications of the Pro and Pro Max models
