The upcoming iPhone 17 Air has been making headlines for its ultra-slim design and potential to be Apple's first port-free iPhone. Although the company initially considered removing the charging port to achieve this slimness, it has decided to retain the USB-C port for now, partly due to regulatory pressures from the EU.
Ultra-Slim Design:
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be the thinnest iPhone ever, measuring just 5.5mm at its thinnest point, making it about 2mm slimmer than other models in the lineup.
MagSafe Support:
Despite initial concerns about MagSafe compatibility due to the phone's slim design, dummy models confirm that the iPhone 17 Air will retain MagSafe support.
Action Button:
The iPhone 17 Air will feature an Action Button, replacing the traditional mute switch, aligning with Apple's design shift seen in previous models.
Camera and Display:
The device will have a single rear camera and a 6.6-inch display with a revised Dynamic Island design, where the front-facing camera is positioned on the left side of the pill.
Battery Life:
Despite its slim design, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to offer battery life comparable to current iPhones, thanks to hardware and software optimisations.
