Could Apple's ultra-thin iPhone be called the iPhone Air?

The use of the name "Air" suggests that Apple may be positioning this iPhone model in the mid-range segment, similar to how they did with the iPad Air and MacBook Air. This also aligns with previous leaks that the iPhone 17 Air will have lower specifications than the Pro models, using the A19 chip instead of the A19 Pro.

A notable highlight of the iPhone 17 Air is its ultra-thin design. The device is said to be only about 5 mm thick. For comparison, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are 7.8 mm thick, while the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are 8.3 mm thick. Therefore, the iPhone 17 Air will be a significantly thinner iPhone.

Additionally, FrontPageTech also reiterated some leaked information regarding the iPhone 17 Air's screen specifications, suggesting a 6.6-inch display with a resolution of 1260 x 2740, similar to the iPhone 15 Plus's 6.7-inch display with a resolution of 1290 x 2796.

Not only the iPhone 17 Air, but also leaked information about the iPhone 17 series mentions Apple significantly thinning the iPhone model launching in 2025. According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly focusing on developing a thinner iPhone. This direction has always been seen as a goal for Apple, not just for the iPhone but for all of its products.

Rumors suggest the price of the ultra-thin iPhone 17 will be around $1,299 (approximately 32.6 million VND). This rather high price was revealed by the source @UniverseIce on Weibo.

However, according to FrontPageTech, with the specifications of the iPhone 17 Air, this device is more suited to the mid-range price point, aligning with its intended positioning.

Furthermore, a report from The Information in June 2024 also mentioned that the ultra-thin iPhone 17 might be used by Apple to replace the iPhone 17 Plus in 2025. Therefore, it is unlikely that this product will have a significantly higher price, on par with the "Pro" line.

Currently, information about the iPhone 17 Air remains uncertain, and we need to wait for more leaks and official information from Apple to get a clearer picture of this product. However, based on the available information, the iPhone 17 Air is considered a "breath of fresh air" with a price point in the mid-range segment and the slim and lightweight design of the "Air" series.
