The iPhone 17 might still be a year off given that we haven’t even had the iPhone 16 yet, but there are still rumors abound that give us a fleeting glimpse of what 2025 might have in store for us. One of the most prolific rumors has been that the iPhone 17 is going to have a ‘slim’ version, and now we have a better idea of what it’s going to be called — the iPhone 17 Air.
Traditionally, the ‘Air naming convention denotes the slimmest and lightest of the Apple product at hand — while that’s shifted slightly after the unreasonably thin iPad Pro M4 (that’s thinner than the new iPad Air M2), it looks to mean the same for the iPhone 17. According to Youtuber FrontPageTech, the iPhone Air will sit between the standard models and the Pro models, just like the iPads with the same moniker.
