As Apple Event 2025 closes on its schedule on September 9 at 10:00am (Pacific time), the rumour mill is in full swing, churning out a treasure trove of leaks surrounding the iPhone 17 series, and, particularly, the iPhone Air, the thinnest iPhone in the world.
While the iPhone maker is gearing up for its September 9 Apple Event 2025, the most significant feature of the iPhone 17 has been leaked.
This revelation has suggested that the new device could measure just 5.5mm and feature a large 6.6-inch display, a nod to the iPhone Air's thinnest iPhone profile.
Several other reports have also indicated that the Cupertino-based tech giant is focusing on portability with the upcoming iPhone 17 Air to make the lightest and slimmest iPhone in history.
iPhone 17 Air specs (expected)
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be powered by the A19 chip and come with 12GB of RAM. Besides, there could be a new silicon-anode battery meant for enhanced performance.
In the face of such rumours and reports from credible tipsters and industry insiders, Apple seems to be faced with the challenge of balancing stunning design with durability.
