Each year, Apple releases four new iPhones: a regular iPhone, two Pros, and one Plus model to cater to every audience. However, it is going to be a little different this year, as Apple is expected to ditch the Plus in favor of a new model called iPhone 17 Air.<\/p>\n

iPhone 17 Air: Display<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ross Young, a Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) analyst, in a post to subscribers on X<\/a> (formerly Twitter), says that the rumored iPhone 17 Air will feature a 6.6-inch OLED display<\/strong>, which is ever-so-slightly smaller than the 6.7-inch display on the Plus model that it is replacing.<\/p>\n

It is expected to use the same LTPO panel as the Pro models. As such, it may feature a ProMotion display<\/a> that Apple has restricted to the Pro model until now. This means the screen can go from 1 Hz all the way up to 120Hz<\/strong>, as required, offering you smooth scrolling and better content viewing experience without significantly draining the battery.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, similar to all current models, the iPhone 17 Air will likely come with Face ID and Dynamic Island, a sure-shot upgrade if you are coming from the iPhone 14 or older lineup.<\/p>\n

Another important aspect is that a ProMotion display is more power efficient than Apple\u2019s regular displays. This is because the refresh rate on a ProMotion display can be ramped down to as low as 1Hz, which isn\u2019t possible in current non-pro models. Due to this, Apple might add Always on Display support to the iPhone 17 Air, which allows some elements of the lock screen to stay illuminated even when the phone is locked.<\/p>\n

iPhone 17 Air: Design and build<\/span><\/h2>\n

As the name suggests, the iPhone 17 Air will be much lighter and slimmer than its contemporaries. This is most likely due to its aluminum-built and ultra-thin design<\/strong>, which measures just 5.5mm at its thinnest point<\/strong>, as Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported in a Medium blog post<\/a>. While the Titanium build would have been better, Apple will keep it reserved for Pro models in the future as well.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, as reported by a Chinese Weibo leaker Instant Digital<\/a>, the outer glass on all the models in the iPhone 17 lineup will come equipped with a \u201csuper-hard anti-reflective layer\u201d that is more scratch-resistant and durable than you can think.<\/p>\n

It is still unknown whether Apple is following in the footsteps of Samsung and adopting the Gorilla Glass Armor used in Samsung Galaxy S24 and S25 Ultra models, but the description of Corning\u2019s technology matches Chinese leaker\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n

Also, a renowned Apple leakster Majin Bu, in an X (formerly Twitter) post<\/a>, shared an image sourced from Weibo showcasing the alleged back design of the upcoming iPhone 17 Air.<\/p>\n

As per the shared image, the device is said to have a single rear camera; the iPhone 17 Air will have a wide camera bar at the back extending from one side to the other instead of the supposed circular camera bump. The camera placement will be the same as in the current models, while the microphone and LED flash will be on the right.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, a recent video published on the Front Page Tech YouTube channel<\/a> also substantiates the said design, as the iPhone 17 Air design in the video matches what we have covered so far.<\/p>\n
