Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series in the coming weeks, and a new leak is indicated where the upcoming iPhone 17 will sit in the case of air display size. The air model is ready to replace the iPhone 16 Plus and the thinnest iPhone of Apple can be yet.

A post on X by Tipster Magin Boo shows that all four iPhone 17 models are claimed to be a screen guard. The image shows that the iPhone 17 Air will have a 6.6 -inch screen. This size keeps it between 6.3-inch iPhone 17 Pro and 6.9-inch iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Apple has traditionally shaped regular and pro models, while Plus and Pro Max models shared large displays. This pattern changed with the iPhone 16 series, when the pro model found a slightly larger performance due to thin bezels.

If the leak is correct, the iPhone 17 will bring a different size balance. It will be smaller than the 6.7-inch plus model of previous years, but will still be larger than the regular iPhone 17, which is expected to be 6.1 inches. Pro is likely to be at 6.3 inches, while Pro Max should place its position as the largest of 6.9 inches.

This medium-land size can appeal to users who want more screen space than regular iPhone, but do not want to make a phone bigger as Prof. Max. However, the air model is expected to be a single rear camera instead of the triple-camera setup on the Pro model that can affect buyers that prefer photography.

Battery life can also be an area where air compromises some compromises. A slimmer design usually means a small battery. Reports suggest that Apple can offer an external battery accessory to help offset any fall in time.

Beyond having a new size option, the air can play a role in Apple’s future plans. The industry points to the company working on a foldable iPhone, and mastery in ultra-skinned designs can be an important step towards that goal. A foldable phone will possibly require engineering refinement that may develop with the Apple Air Model.

Apple has not yet confirmed the launch details, but based on previous years, the company can announce its event later this month, after which official disclosures can be made in about four weeks. If the leak becomes accurate, the iPhone 17 can give a new option to air buyers-a smooth, light iPhone with a large display that sits between Pro and Pro Max in size, although with features and possibly some trade-offs in battery performance. For now, people are advised to take all leaked details with a pinch of salt. You can stay for India Today Tech for all official updates as we will cover the next Big Apple event.
