iPhone 17 Air: Release Date, Price, Camera, and More

iPhone 17 Air: Apple’s New Contender
Apple is getting ready to unveil its iPhone 17 lineup this September, and excitement is building for a brand new addition: the iPhone 17 Air. This year, get ready for four different models: the standard iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro, the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the buzzworthy iPhone 17 Air.
A Slim and Light Design
Rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Air might pack a punch with a 2,800mAh battery. While this is smaller than the standard iPhone 16’s battery, it’s designed to keep the phone incredibly thin and light. Think just 145 grams and a mere 5.5mm thickness! That’s even slimmer than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.
Camera Specs
To accommodate its sleek design, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a single 48MP rear “Fusion” camera. A dedicated telephoto lens might be out of the question due to space constraints. On the other hand, the standard iPhone 17 might boast a 24MP front-facing camera for stunning selfies and a similar rear camera setup to the iPhone 16, with a 48MP primary sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide lens.
The Big Reveal
Apple plans to unveil the entire iPhone 17 lineup, including the iPhone 17 Air, at its annual September launch event. The exact date isn’t out yet, but Apple usually sticks to this schedule for major product announcements.
Estimated Prices
Here’s an idea of what you might pay for the iPhone 17 series in different regions:
- India: Prices for the iPhone 17 series are expected to start around Rs 89,900, with the high-end iPhone 17 Pro Max potentially reaching up to Rs 1,64,900.
- USA: The base iPhone 17 model is anticipated to launch at approximately $899.
