Apple’s much-anticipated event to unveil the new iPhone 17 lineup is set to begin at 6pm BST today. The spotlight may be on the rumored iPhone 17 Air, expected to boast a sleek, pocket-friendly design and potentially outshine its Android counterparts with its thin profile.
Rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Air could be impressively slim at just 5.5mm, making it thinner than Samsung’s S25 Edge at 5.8mm. If speculations hold true, Apple might unveil the world’s thinnest flagship smartphone with this model.
Aside from its slender build, the iPhone 17 Air is rumored to feature a more powerful A19 processor, MagSafe charging, and a large 6.7-inch display. To enhance durability, a tougher design may also be included to prevent breakage.
However, potential drawbacks of the iPhone 17 Air could include a smaller battery capacity, possibly leading to reduced screen time, and a single-lens rear camera instead of the dual or triple lenses seen in other smartphones.
In addition to the iPhone 17 Air, Apple might introduce the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro ranges at the event. Stay tuned for live updates from Apple Park in California as Mirror Online covers the event.
