iPhone 17 launch is over a week away and Apple’s new iPhone Air version has got a lot of attention and we are eager to see it.

iPhone 17 Air is widely awaited.
The iPhone 17 series launch date is inching closer every day and in around one week we will be seeing the new iPhone models unveiled in front of the world. There is a lot riding on Apple’s new iPhones, not just because of the AI struggles and Siri AI delay to 2026 but also how it plans to compete in the arena purely with its hardware.
The iPhone 17 lineup could see some changes, and one of them could be the exit of the Plus moniker and the debut of its much-awaited Air/Slim version. It is likely to be pitted against fellow rival Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge model that also sits in the premium table.
There is definite excitement and intrigue to see how Apple plans to shape its ultra thin device and here is a round-up of everything we know.
iPhone 17 Air Price Expected
With all these changes, a sleek body and aluminium finish, Apple is unlikely to go easy with the iPhone 17 Air price when it launches. Going by the market trends, we expect the new model to cost around Rs 1,20,999 for the base variant which puts it below the Pro models but slightly higher than the regular version.
iPhone 17 Air Design
The rumoured iPhone 17 Air is tipped to feature a slim design, which has become an unknown entity in the company’s phone lineup these days. Apple could upstage these figures with the iPhone 17 Air and go for a 5.5mm frame with a device weighing under 150 grams.
Reports say the slim or Air iPhone model will feature only a single camera at the back and front, and its biggest highlight is likely to be the aluminium slim design. The recent leaked images of the iPhone 17 Air model alongside the iPhone 16 Pro shows the difference in their size and these cutbacks should make it easy for Apple to pull through with the sleek design.
iPhone 17 Air Specs
The 17 Air version is heavily tipped to replace the Plus variant this year. It is expected to carry a 6.7-inch display which gives the right dimensions. The company should offer it with the latest A19 Pro chipset with 12GB RAM which makes it compatible with Apple AI features and Siri AI when it releases next year.
For imaging, the iPhone 17 Air is tipped to come with a single rear camera and carry a really small battery pack. It seems the company is aware about the battery limitations, which is why it could bring a battery pack for this specific model, which means more money into its coffers. Accessories have become a big part of Apple’s business and this battery pack could be the icing on a costly cake.
