I think about the iPhone 17 Air every time I have to readjust the position of the iPhone 16 Plus in my pants pocket. I do it when I run, tie my shoelaces, walk uphill, get into a car, sit down… you name it. There’s no guarantee that Apple will make the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air. But I do dream about an iPhone with a large display that isn’t as bulky as the Plus or Pro Max.
Since the first rumor emerged that Apple is working on a slimmer iPhone, I kept seeing clues suggesting Apple could make such a device. Various components are getting thinner than ever, including Samsung RAM modules and ultra-thin batteries for foldable phones.
But I also want an ultra-thin smartphone with the best possible battery life. The iPhone 16 Plus lasts more than a day on a charge, so I’d want that from the rumored iPhone 17 Air. More energy-efficient iPhone chips could help with that. And, it turns out, some brand-new display tech that might be partly responsible for Apple Watch Series 10 battery life improvements could be another key factor in the iPhone 17 Air.
