The long-rumored iPhone 17 Air has once again made headlines, this time with leaked dummy images that showcase its remarkably slim profile beside the iPhone 16e. The new leak offers the clearest look yet at Apple’s next-generation slim device, reinforcing growing speculation that the tech giant is preparing to introduce a lightweight, ultra-thin iPhone Air model later this year.
The dummy units, non-functional models based on internal schematics, were posted online by well-known leaker @MajinBuOfficial. The images show the iPhone 17 Air next to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, providing a visual comparison of thickness that underscores just how thin the Air model might be.

If the reports are accurate, the iPhone 17 Air will measure just 5.84 mm, making it around 42% thinner than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is expected to retain the 8.3 mm thickness of its predecessor.
According to leaks the iPhone 17 Air will become a replacement for the iPhone 16 Plus within Apple’s premium device range. The leaks show the device utilizing a single-lens camera system installed on an expanded tray that replaces the camera island configuration, yet previous reports predicted a camera bar design introduction for the iPhone 17 family.
The 7.8 mm thick iPhone 16e exhibits a slender frame in comparison to show that the same design approach was probably used to reduce battery capacity. The actual battery information about iPhone 17 Air remains undisclosed, although users are beginning to worry that these devices may ship with reduced batteries in exchange for their slim profile.
Rumors about the iPhone 17 Air’s 6.6-inch display have shifted to information suggesting it will have a 6.55-inch screen. The MagSafe charging feature appears to be included, while internal specifications of the upcoming model remain unclear.
The latest online appearance of dummy units regarding Apple’s 2025 iPhone lineup functions as the latest installment in a series of leaks which have revealed increasing details about Apple’s upcoming phone portfolio. The company plans to launch three models for 2025 including both standard iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro, which will reportedly get improved RAM and system components along with the Air model.
Expected Price of Apple iPhone 17 Air
As for pricing, early rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Air could start at $899 in the U.S., though changing tariffs and supply chain costs may push that figure higher. Pricing for international markets, including Pakistan, remains speculative.
With just under 150 days to go before the expected September launch, excitement around the iPhone 17 series is mounting. Apple’s WWDC 2025, scheduled for June, is expected to offer more insight into iOS 19 and potentially tease features of the new devices.
