Apple iPhone 17 Air colourways leaked: Check out the expected launch date, specifications, price, and more
With the rumoured iPhone 17 Air set to replace the Plus model, combine this sleek aesthetic with a whisper‑thin design and 120 Hz OLED display, Apple may target style-conscious users who value bold simplicity.
As whispers around Liquid Glass design, lighter chassis, and enhanced AI features swirl, early buzz suggests Apple doubles down on elegance and innovation. Stick around to explore how this tonal shift could redefine iPhone chic.
iPhone 17 Air launch date (Expected)
Apple usually follows a consistent launch schedule, and the iPhone 17 Air is expected to be revealed between September 11-13, 2025. Pre-orders could begin immediately after the official unveiling, and if Apple sticks to its traditional timeline, the iPhone 17 series may go on sale around September 19, 2025.
iPhone 17 Air expected colourways
Fixed Focus Digital, a trustworthy Weibo tipster, claims that the next iPhone 17 Air will have a new shade of blue that is significantly paler than it looks in its present design. Furthermore, it can appear completely white in normal circumstances, much to Samsung's Silverblue shade for the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
According to earlier sources, the base iPhone 17 may not feature this colour scheme; instead, it may be released with a new hue that isn't simply a different shade of black or white, but rather the standard purple. There may be a lighter variation of this colour tone, like the iPhone 16 Pro series' Desert Titanium.
iPhone 17 Air expected specifications
Design and display
The iPhone 17 Air might be the thinnest smartphone with its svelte design and skinny profile. The tablet is anticipated to have a 6.6-inch OLED display with a 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate for fluid graphics and rapid interaction.
Camera
According to leaks, the Apple iPhone 17 Air would include a 48-megapixel "Fusion" rear sensor that produces excellent images despite its thin form factor. Customers can anticipate a significant upgrade to a 24-megapixel selfie camera on the front, doubling earlier iPhone models' resolution.
Software and performance
The new A19 chipset, which is rumored to power the Apple iPhone 17 Air, promises superior performance and efficiency. It will probably come with iOS 26, which brings the new "Liquid Glass" design language and more intelligent AI capabilities to the entire system.
Battery, color, and charging
Sleek Black, Grey, and White color options may be available for the iPhone 17 Air. It might have a 2800 mAh battery that can be charged wirelessly or via a wire. With clever software optimization, Apple strives to balance mobility and power despite its small size.
iPhone 17 Air expected price
The Apple iPhone 17 Air is anticipated to ship between September 11 and September 13, 2025, along with the rest of the iPhone 17 series, though Apple has not yet confirmed this. According to preliminary estimates, the beginning price in India is approximately Rs 89,990.

CEO Tim Cook says Apple ready to open its wallet to catch up in AI

CEO Tim Cook says Apple ready to open its wallet to catch up in AI
I am Gujarat Apple CEO Tim Cook signalled on Thursday that the iPhone maker was ready to spend more to catch up to rivals in artificial intelligence by building more data centres or buying a larger player in the segment, a departure from a long practice of fiscal frugality.

Microsoft sets new record! Surpasses Tim Cook's Apple to become...., Satya Nadella's IT giant value reaches to....
In a significant milestone for the tech community, Microsoft surpassed a $4 trillion market value for the first time in history. Microsoft has now joined NVIDIA as the only two publicly traded companies to reach this market value. The spike came after the stock market closed on July 30, 2025, when Microsoft's stock rose approximately 8-9 per cent, bringing its total market value to nearly $4.1 trillion during after-hours trading. As a result, Microsoft has emerged as the second most valuable company in the world, surpassing iPhone maker Apple in valuation. What helped Microsoft cross the $4 trillion market cap? According to the media reports, Microsoft's stock soared after the company reported strong results for the fiscal fourth quarter, with revenue up 18 per cent over a year earlier at $76.4 billion and net income up 24% to $27.2 billion. Microsoft's growth continues to be fueled primarily by growing demand for artificial intelligence-powered cloud services. A key takeaway from Microsoft's earnings report was an update on Azure and its cloud business, for the first time revealing its annual revenue reached over $75 billion with growth of 34 per cent year-over-year. Azure's growth is estimated to be between 34% to 39% from many sources. This indicates that Microsoft is at the forefront of enterprise AI and cloud infrastructure. How much did Microsoft's revenue and profit increase last quarter? Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, credited the company's remarkable performance to advancements in AI and cloud-related technologies. He pointed out that Microsoft AI products including Microsoft 365 Copilot and Azure AI Services, are quickly changing the way organizations operate. In the meantime, Microsoft also disclosed its plans for the future. Essentially, it expects to invest $30 billion in capital expenditures in the next quarter, with an estimated annual capital spending of $120 billion. The goal is to bolster its AI framework. How is Satya Nadella shaping Microsoft's future? Apple – whose flagship products are the iPhone and iMac – was once the most valuable company in the world. Apple now trails with its market capitalization sitting at $3.2 trillion. The reason for this is that Apple does not have a distinct advantage in terms of artificial intelligence, and this has impacted investors' perception of the company's future. Who still holds the top spot as the most valuable company? NVIDIA, which was the first company to surpass the $4 trillion threshold in July, remains the most valuable company in the world. Its meteoric rise in value has come from its focus largely on AI technologies, but now, as Microsoft finds its footing as a leader in AI platforms, it is threatening NVIDIA's throne.
