iPhone 17 Air—if it launches—might be Apple's next flop
This year, a new trend has started to take shape in the flagship smartphone segment—ultra-thin designs. It began with Samsung's announcement of the Galaxy S25 Edge, and now, Apple is reportedly joining the race with the iPhone 17 Air, set to launch this September and Apple's rumour mills are running overtime. If the rumours about the iPhone 17 Air are true, Apple may soon have to answer a tough question: are buyers paying more for less?(Majin Bu/ X) On paper, slim flagships sounded like an exciting shift. But in reality, the concept feels underwhelming, mostly due to the compromises and hardware limitations that come with a thinner profile. Not to forget, Apple will make compromises to shift to a thinner design. Of course, this isn't the first time Apple has experimented with its flagship lineup. We saw the introduction of the compact iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 13 Mini, both of which quietly exited the stage due to weak demand. Then came the iPhone 14 series, which brought back the 'Plus' model—again, not a breakout success. Also read: iPhone 17 Air design 'leaked' in new hands-on video, here's how it may look Now, with the iPhone 17 series, rumours suggest that Apple is scrapping the 'Plus' variant and replacing it with the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air. That alone signals a shift in Apple's strategy. But it also continues the pattern of discontinuing models that fail to strike a chord with buyers. At this point, it wouldn't be surprising if the iPhone 17 Air ends up being the next flagship misfire—and there are a few reasons why. iPhone 17 Air may not excite buyers Over the past few months, leaks and rumours have painted a rough picture of what to expect from the iPhone 17 Air. And while the official launch is still a few months away, what we're hearing so far feels underwhelming—especially for a phone that might cost upwards of ₹ 80,000. Don't get me wrong—the dummy units showcasing the device's slim profile are genuinely impressive. But that excitement quickly fades when you consider the trade-offs. According to The Elec, Samsung has already scaled back production of the Galaxy S25 Edge, likely due to soft demand. And while marketing plays a big role, the success of such devices ultimately depends on how well the product connects with buyers. Apple may manage to drive early sales through brand loyalty and launch hype, but sustaining interest could be a different story. The most obvious compromise appears to be the camera. Based on dummy units, the iPhone 17 Air may feature a single-lens rear camera. Even if the image quality is good, users might lose out on ultrawide or telephoto capabilities—much like the iPhone 16e. Also read: iPhone 17 Air could launch in September 2025 — Key details revealed Battery life could be another sore point. Reports suggest the iPhone 17 Air will pack a 2800mAh battery, significantly smaller than what's offered by other iPhones or competing flagships. Yes, Apple is said to be introducing a new AI-powered battery-saving mode with iOS 26, which might stretch usage time. But whether that's enough to satisfy power users remains to be seen. Then there's the pricing. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to slot between the standard iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro, likely putting it around the ₹ 80,000 mark. And for that price, many buyers may wonder: are they paying more for less?

iPhone 17 and 17 Pro: Leaked battery, display, design, release date, price, chipset and other details
The iPhone 17 series is likely just 2 months away, but leaks and early reports have already started giving us a glimpse of what Apple might be planning this year. If the rumours are accurate, the iPhone 17 lineup could bring some of the most noticeable changes we have seen in a while — be it in design, performance, camera, or even the naming strategy. Apple is reportedly introducing a new iPhone 17 Air model this year, and it could replace the Plus version that we have seen in the past few generations. Here is a full breakdown of what to expect from the iPhone 17 series, including leaked details around display, battery, cameras, design changes, expected price, and launch as well as release design changes, display upgrades and arrival of iPhone 17 AirApple is said to be working on a fresh new design for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. While the standard iPhone 17 may look similar to the current iPhone 16 model, the 17 Pro models could offer a different look with a redesigned rear camera layout. Leaked images suggest the Pro versions might have a rectangular camera module that stretches wider across the back, looking a bit like what we have seen on the Pixel 9 time, Apple might also be replacing the "Plus" model with a completely new iPhone 17 Air. The new Air version could focus on a thinner and lighter build, reportedly making it the slimmest iPhone Apple has ever made. It is tipped to feature a 6.6-inch screen, while also being thinner than even the iPhone 16 Pro. The regular iPhone 17 could get a slight bump in display size too, from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches. The Pro Max might retain its large 6.9-inch What is also interesting is that Apple may finally bring 120Hz refresh rate displays across the entire iPhone 17 lineup. Until now, this feature was only available on the Pro models. If true, it would make smoother scrolling and animations available even on the base models, something iPhone fans have long upgrades may be on the wayApple could finally be giving its front camera a boost this year. Reports suggest the iPhone 17 series might feature a 24-megapixel selfie camera instead of the current 12-megapixel setup. This upgrade could result in clearer, sharper selfies with better detail, especially in low the rear side, the iPhone 17 is likely to feature a 48-megapixel main camera as part of a dual-lens system. The Pro Max, on the other hand, may offer a triple 48-megapixel setup, covering wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses. If this happens, it would be the first time Apple introduces all three rear cameras with 48-megapixel resolution on a single iPhone. There are also whispers of 8K video recording being supported on the Pro Max model, which could be a big addition for users who rely on their phones for high-end video chip for Pro, older chip for standard modeladvertisementIn terms of performance, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are said to be powered by Apple's upcoming A19 Pro chipset. This should offer better efficiency and overall performance improvements. However, the base iPhone 17 and 17 Air could continue using the A18 chip, which is the same one powering the iPhone Apple does go ahead with this chip split, it may once again face criticism, just like it did with the iPhone 14, which used the same chip as the previous generation. While most users may not notice a huge performance difference in day-to-day use of the iPhone 16 or iPhone 17, many tech-savvy buyers could find this disappointing. Also, it would be more enticing for iPhone fans to buy the iPhone 16 version. The buying decision of users will likely depend on how many upgrades Apple is able to offer with the latest version and which one will offer more value for the memory side, Apple might finally increase the RAM on the Pro Max to 12GB, while the other models could get 8GB. This could help with smoother multitasking and overall performance, especially as iOS continues to evolve with more life, charging, cooling system: Small but meaningful changesBattery sizes across the iPhone 17 series are expected to go up slightly. The bigger display on the base iPhone 17 model may also result in a larger battery. As for other models, the company is expected to make some improvement in the battery sizes Apple may also introduce 35W fast charging support, which would be a slight improvement over the current 20W speeds for mobile charger. While this is still behind what many Android flagships offer, it is still a step up for is also talk of a vapour chamber cooling system being added to the Pro Max model. This could help keep the device cooler during gaming or heavy tasks like 4K video editing, which in turn may improve performance 17 India launch, release and price expectationsApple has not made anything official yet, but going by the company's usual timeline, the iPhone 17 series is expected to launch in September 2025, most likely in the second week. The phones should become available for pre-order within days of the announcement, with sales starting soon for the Indian pricing, leaks suggest that the iPhone 17 could retain the old pricing because of fewer upgrades. This suggests that the standard version might start at Rs 79,999, keeping it in line with current iPhone models. The new iPhone 17 Air might be slightly more expensive and Apple could possibly offer it at the price of the Plus model if we go by the leaks. So, it might be launched at around Rs 89,999, given its new design and positioning. The Pro and Pro Max models could see a price hike because of the new design and upgrades reported in chipset, camera, charging and other the past, Apple increased the prices of the iPhone 15 Pro and Max models with around Rs 5,000. But, the iPhone 16 Pro models were introduced at a much lower price point in comparison to the previous generation, which made many iPhone fans happy and the deal also seemed quite attractive because of the upgrades. This time around, things are a little confusing in terms of what will happen, because of the tensions around Apple being asked to manufacture most of the iPhones in the US. While this will likely take time, it remains to be seen whether Apple will retain the old prices or introduce a price hike on the upcoming iPhone 17 models. To recall, the iPhone 16 Pro was launched in India at Rs 1,19,900 and the Pro Max was made available at Rs 1,44, there is also talk about an iPhone 17e model, which could launch sometime in early 2026. This would likely be a more affordable option aimed at budget-conscious buyers. It is expected to launch under Rs 60,000 segment, similar to the iPhone 16e.- Ends
