Apple may be working on a very slim iPhone model called the “iPhone 17 Air,” and a new design leak gives us a first look at what it might look like. Shared by leaker Majin Bu on X (formerly Twitter), the image shows a phone that’s so thin, it’s almost as slim as the side buttons.
The leak reveals a prototype case of the iPhone 17 Air, showing how Apple could bring back the curved edges that we last saw on the iPhone 11. The case also shows a pill-shaped camera cutout, which means the camera layout might change in this model.
Sources say this thinner model will be a part of the 2025 iPhone 17 lineup. It’s expected to be lighter and have a smaller screen compared to the Pro Max model.
Earlier, analyst Jeff Pu mentioned that Apple might launch four iPhone 17 models: the base model, iPhone 17 Plus, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Now, it seems like the “iPhone 17 Air” could take the place of the Plus model.
It’s still early, so things could change before the phone is officially revealed. But if this leak is true, the iPhone 17 Air might be one of the slimmest iPhones ever made.
