Apple’s Upcoming iPhone 17 Air: A Sleek New Chapter
Exciting news is swirling around Apple’s next big leap in smartphone innovation. According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, Apple is set to introduce a new model, the iPhone 17 Air. This addition to the lineup seems like a natural fit, especially considering the success of the ‘Air’ branding with Apple’s MacBooks and iPads. As I type this on my trusty MacBook Air, it’s clear why Apple might choose this moniker for their latest endeavor.
- Debuting Apple’s first in-house modem
- Expected to be the thinnest iPhone yet
- Paving the way for future foldable devices
“The iPhone 17 Air could be more appealing than the current Plus or mini models,” writes Gurman.

The iPhone 17 Air is not just about aesthetics; it’s also set to debut Apple’s first in-house modem. This groundbreaking feature is expected to initially appear in the upcoming iPhone SE, anticipated for release in the spring. Moreover, the iPhone 17 Air will reportedly be a remarkable two millimeters thinner than its predecessors, marking a significant stride toward Apple’s vision of foldable phones and tablets projected for 2026 and beyond.
Gurman also hints at other exciting Apple releases slated for 2025, including a smart home hub. However, notably absent from this list is an update to the Vision Pro, Apple’s mixed reality headset. As Apple continues to innovate, technology enthusiasts are keeping a close eye on these developments.
