Apple’s thinnest-ever iPhone 17 Air to arrive in September
It’s not going to be thin for the sake of it, but to help Apple gear up for a foldable future.

Apple’s apparently cooking up its skinniest iPhone yet, and they’re calling it the iPhone 17 Air because… well, of course they are.
According to Bloomberg, this new supermodel iPhone is going on a serious diet, shaving off two whole millimeters from current models.
For the spec nerds out there, we’re talking about a device that will make the iPhone 6 – Apple’s previous skinny champion – look positively chunky.
We’ve heard about this device before, about how the thinnest ever iPhone may come with a ProMotion display, and have a thickness of 0.19-0.23 inches.
But here’s where it gets interesting: This isn’t just about Apple’s obsession with making everything thinner.
The iPhone 17 Air is supposedly packing Apple’s first home-grown modem chip, ditching Qualcomm like a bad habit.
Think of it as Apple’s dress rehearsal for those foldable devices they’re totally not working on (but totally are) for 2026.
The price tag? Word on the street is it’ll set you back about $899 – right in that sweet spot between “I should probably eat this month” and “shut up and take my money.”
Guess we’ll just have to wait and see if this diet-conscious iPhone is truly the breath of fresh Air that Apple’s lineup needs, or if it’s just another case of tech getting too thin for its own good.
We’d love to hear from you! What are your thoughts on Apple’s bold move with the iPhone 17 Air, especially with its thinner design and new home-grown modem chip? Do you think this sleek update is what Apple needs, or is it a step too far? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
