New iPhone 17 Air Video Hints at Super Slim Build and Big Camera Change
A fresh video from leaker @MajinBuOfficial gives us a close look at the dummy model of what might be the next Apple iPhone 17 Air. Seen as the next step after the iPhone 16 Plus, this new phone shows a big change in style. It goes for a super slim body instead of having many cameras. The dummy is thought to show well what the real phone will look and feel like.
Big Style Changes Slim Over Cameras
This model shows two big changes from the iPhone 16 Plus:
- Super Slim Body: This phone may be very slim, with talks of it being just 5.5 millimeters thick.
- One Large Camera: Moving away from past designs, the camera now goes almost across the whole back of the phone but only has one 48MP main camera. The super-wide camera is gone to make room in the slim body. Yet, it looks like it will have Apple's new touch-feel camera button.

Leaked Info About the iPhone 17 Air
Word is, the iPhone 17 Air will share a lot with the regular iPhone 17, but with some key twists.
- Chip: Apple A19 ARM.
- Memory: 8 GB RAM.
- Front Camera: 24 MP selfie camera.
- Build: Aluminum body with MagSafe.
- Screen: Big 6.6-inch OLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate and features Apple's always-on display.
The Trade-Off A Smaller Battery
To get such a slim design, the iPhone 17 Air may have a smaller battery, just about 3,000 mAh. This cut seems needed to keep it thin.
Expected Arrival
We're likely to see the Apple iPhone 17 Air roll out in September, with the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro.
