Apple plans to introduce the iPhone 17 Air, featuring a slim profile of just 5.5 mm, as revealed by leakster Ice Universe. While the iPhone 17 Air will share the same dimensions and 6.9″ LTPO Super Retina display as the iPhone 17 Pro Max, the latter will measure 8.725 mm in thickness. Both models maintain the footprint of the iPhone 16 Pro Max at 163 mm height by 77.6 mm width. Although the exact thickness of the camera bump is unspecified, new designs are anticipated, with the Air expected to incorporate a single camera.
Apple is set to introduce the iPhone 17 Air boasting an impressively slender design, measuring merely 5.5 mm thick (or 5.501 mm for those who appreciate exactness). This information comes from the reliable leakster Ice Universe, who added that the other dimensions, including the display, will match those of the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
The key distinction between the Air and Pro Max models will be their thickness, with the flagship version measuring in at 8.725 mm. Notably, both devices will maintain the same footprint as the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which stands at 163 mm in height and 77.6 mm in width.
The display specifications will remain unchanged, featuring a 6.9″ LTPO Super Retina display with consistent bezel thickness.
Speculative render: iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Air
The leak does not specify the thickness of the camera bump; however, we have a CAD-based rendering that suggests it will protrude noticeably from the back. It seems probable that Apple will adopt a new camera island design with the iPhone 17 series, with the Air model following this design trend, even though it is rumored to feature only a single camera.
