Among them, the "iPhone 17 Air" features an ultra-thin design and has become a hot topic.
The display sizes and estimated prices are as follows:

iPhone 17 Pro Max/Ultra: 6.7-inch or 6.9-inch LTPO OLED display ($1,199)
*LTPO OLED is a technology that combines a high refresh rate with low power consumption, enabling constant display.
iPhone 17 series design
According to current leaks, the iPhone 17 series design may have the following features:
1. Evolution of design: thinner and more compact
The iPhone 17 Air could be the thinnest iPhone ever, expected to be just 5.6mm thick.
In addition, the bezels are thinner, improving the screen-to-body ratio. The Pro model is rumored to have a titanium frame, but all models may have an aluminum frame.
Additionally, it has been suggested that the rear camera arrangement may change: the standard model may revert to a single camera, while the Pro model is expected to continue with a triple camera setup. Some rumors have also suggested that the camera bump could be replaced with a smooth slope.
2. Evolution of displays
It is rumored that all models may feature 120Hz ProMotion technology.
If the smooth scrolling experience that was previously limited to the Pro series becomes possible on the original and "Air" models, the user experience will be greatly improved. It seems that games will be more enjoyable.
3. Change in button specifications?
There are also rumors that the volume and action buttons will be integrated into a slide-type touch button (likely to be digitally controlled similar to the camera control button). We'll have to wait for more details on this in the future.
Camera performance of the iPhone 17 series
Rear camera
The iPhone 17 Pro/iPhone 17 Pro Max/Ultra will be equipped with a 48MP triple camera, and it appears likely that zoom performance will be significantly improved.
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a single camera, enabling simple yet high-quality photography.
The iPhone 17 is equipped with a dual camera.
Front camera
There are also rumors that the front camera on all models will be upgraded to 24MP, which is expected to be a major improvement over the current 12MP (iPhone 11 and later).
iPhone 17 series features and specs
1. Chipset and performance improvements
The iPhone 17 Pro Max will be equipped with the A19 Pro chip, which is expected to improve performance, particularly in terms of AI functions and image processing.
The standard model will likely feature the A19 chip, improving overall performance.
The RAM may be increased to 8GB for the standard model and 12GB for the Pro model, which is expected to make multitasking and advanced app processing smoother.
2. Battery and Charging
According to Sonny Dickson's leak, models other than the iPhone 17 Air may be slightly thicker than the current models (iPhone 16 series). This is speculated to improve battery capacity and extend operating time.
Since MagSafe was discontinued in the iPhone 16e, there was speculation that the thinnest iPhone ever, the iPhone 17 Air, would not support MagSafe, but the latest leaks suggest that both the Air and the other 17 series models are likely to continue to be equipped with MagSafe.
Some rumors also suggest that the iPhone 17 Air may eliminate the wired charging port, which will need to be verified later.
iPhone 17 announcement and release date
As per previous trends, it is expected to be announced in the second week of September 2025 and released the following week.
