Will the iPhone 17 Air be cheaper than the Pro models?

Information about the iPhone 17 Air began circulating in May: a report from The Information suggested that Apple would release a super-thin iPhone called the iPhone 17 Air in 2025 to replace the iPhone 17 Plus, featuring a 6.6-inch screen upgraded to ProMotion technology and a 120Hz refresh rate (twice that of the iPhone 16 Plus), providing a better gaming and movie-watching experience.

At the time, sources indicated that the iPhone 17 Air would have a starting price of around $1,200, higher than the Pro Max model.

Sources reveal that the iPhone 17 Air may be equipped with a TDDI OLED display to deliver the thinnest design ever. The TDDI (Touch and Display Driver Integration) OLED display is reportedly a new technology launched by the Taiwanese company Novatek. TDDI technology combines touch sensors and drivers into a single layer to create an ultra-thin panel. Thanks to this solution, smartphones can reduce their thickness by several millimeters.

According to 9to5mac, the 17 Air could be around 6mm thick, meaning that battery capacity, the number of camera lenses, and some other specifications will be reduced, making a high price point unreasonable. The site also predicts the device will cost around $899, the same as the iPhone 16 Plus.

The iPhone 17 Air is also predicted to have a smaller Dynamic Island, 12GB of RAM, a 24MP front camera, and possibly even an under-display Face ID sensor...
