Apple’s iPhone 17 Air is gearing up to turn heads in September 2025, and a new video from Front Page Tech (FPT) gives us the best peek yet at what might be the sleekest iPhone ever.
Clocking in at a razor-thin 5.5mm, the iPhone 17 Air makes Samsung’s 5.8mm champ look a touch chunky—no easy feat in a world that’s all about slim. Its 6.6-inch OLED screen, rumored to rock a 120Hz refresh rate, is set to deliver silky-smooth scrolling, finally bringing the base iPhone up to par with the Pro models’ slick displays.

Powering this beauty is the A19 chip, the next big thing for the base and Air models, while the Pros likely get a beefier A19 Pro. Word from outlets like CNET says the A19 keeps the A18’s efficiency but has the muscle to nail Apple Intelligence features without breaking a sweat. With 12GB of RAM, it’s ready for serious AI action, from on-device number-crunching to next-level photo smarts. The single 48MP rear camera, a consistent detail in leaks, leans hard on software to churn out killer shots.
The design is where the iPhone 17 Air really shines. Leaks from Majin Bu show off a horizontal, pill-shaped camera bar and a USB-C port nudged slightly off-center to fit that super-slim body. It builds on the iPhone 16’s look but feels almost otherworldly in its refinement. Color options are stirring up excitement too—lavender, purple, or maybe a sharp green.
Battery life’s a bit of a mystery with that skinny frame. CNET hints Apple’s tinkering with new battery tech to dodge the limits of a slimmed-down lithium-ion pack. A 3220mAh battery might not seem huge, but Apple’s knack for optimization could make it go further than you’d think. And 35W fast charging, if the rumors hold, would be a sweet upgrade.
Price-wise, things get interesting. The iPhone 17 Air, pitched as a fancier step up from the base model, is likely to hit wallets harder, with talk of prices starting above $1,199.
