Cupertino, March 3: iPhone 17 Air is the highly anticipated Apple smartphone to launch in September 2025. However, the company has yet to confirm the model or whether it is in development at all.

iPhone 17 Air New Leaks

iPhone 17 Air's new information suggested that the device may not have any physical SIM card slot. Apple has already stopped giving  SIM card slots to many other regions and has offered eSIM as an option. This could be provided as a default on the device. Besides, Apple may follow on the path of its newly launched iPhone 16e and reportedly offer a single camera on the rear side. 

The reports suggest that the device may have a single 48MP shooter with 2x telephoto zoom capabilities.

Reports said that Apple may not offer speakers as good as those on the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. In terms of design, the iPhone 17 Air may have a 5.5mm to 6mm thickness. Smartphone Launches in March 2025: From Nothing Phone 3a Series to iQOO Neo 10R and Xiaomi 15 Ultra, Know Specifications and Other Details of Upcoming Smartphones This Month.
