Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 17 Air in September 2025, alongside the flagship iPhone 17 lineup, with sales expected to begin around mid-September. Touted as Apple’s thinnest and lightest phone yet, the Air variant aims to replace the discontinued Plus model—measuring just 5.5–6 mm thick and weighing approximately 145 g.
In India, pricing leaks suggest the base iPhone 17 may launch from ₹89,900, while the Air could be priced around ₹99,900—just under the ₹1 lakh mark.
Early specs point to a 6.6″ ProMotion OLED display supporting 120 Hz refresh rates, a single 48 MP rear Fusion sensor, and a 24 MP front-facing camera—a substantial upgrade from the 12 MP in previous models. The Air is expected to run on the A19 chipset and debut with iOS 26 ("Liquid Glass"), including enhanced AI capabilities. Its 2,800 mAh battery might rely on advanced silicon-carbon cells and smart power management to offset its slim profile.
Analysts indicate that while the Air pushes design boundaries, the base iPhone 17 will offer similar features with a 6.3″ display and dual rear cameras. The Pro models—Pro and Pro Max—will share the fall 2025 launch window and include stepped-up features like the A19 Pro chipset, titanium or aluminum frames, and advanced camera systems.
Bottom Line: The iPhone 17 Air is shaping up to be Apple’s sleekest offering yet—targeting users who prioritize size and style without compromising on performance. With top-tier specs and AI-driven software wrapped in a slim frame, it’s a compelling mid-premium choice for India’s smartphone market.
