Apple's ultra-thin iPhone 17 'Air' could debut this year: What to expect
Details about Apple's anticipated iPhone 17 Air have surfaced online, hinting at key specifications including display size, form factor, and battery capacity. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to debut in September 2025 alongside the iPhone 17 series and may replace the current Plus model in Apple's lineup. Here is what we can expect from the anticipated iPhone 17 Air model:Apple iPhone 17 Air: What to expectAs per a report by 9to5Mac, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to sport a 6.6-inch OLED display which will fit in-between the two Pro model iPhones. For reference, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max feature 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays respectively, and the next generation iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to retain this READ: Apple's foldable iPhone may not be much different from Samsung Fold: ReportThe display panel on the iPhone 17 Air will likely be of 2740 x 1260 resolution and will support Apple's ProMotion display technology for 120Hz refresh rate. It will likely get always-on support and is expected to get the Dynamic Island up top, housing the front-facing camera and FaceID sensors. Apple's iPhone 17 Air is anticipated to be the thinnest iPhone to date, with a body measuring just 5.5mm — surpassing the 6.9mm thickness of the iPhone 6, which currently holds the title. However, to achieve this form factor, Apple may have to reduce the battery capacity READ: Soon, WhatsApp will show ads in Status page, promote business ChannelsAccording to the report, the battery capacity on the anticipated iPhone 17 Air is not expected to exceed 3,000mAh. This corresponds to previous reports that stated that the ultra-thin iPhone model could sport a 2,800mAh battery. If true, the new battery would be approximately twenty per cent smaller than that of the iPhone 16 and forty per cent smaller than the current Plus model. Besides a smaller capacity battery, Apple may have to introduce some other hardware trade-offs to achieve the desired form factor, such as a more simplified camera setup. Unlike the dual- or triple-camera systems seen on other models, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature a single 48MP rear camera sensor, and a 24MP front-facing camera.

Sebi's AMC-family office plan sparks concerns over regulation and parity
Sebi's plan to let AMCs manage non-broad-based pooled funds without PMS licences has sparked debate over regulatory parity, competitive fairness, and market safeguards New Delhi The Securities and Exchange Board of India's (Sebi's) recent proposal to permit asset management companies (AMCs) to manage family office funds has stirred debate, with concerns surfacing around regulatory overlap and market parity. On July 7, Sebi released a consultation paper suggesting major relaxations to existing regulations. The key proposal includes allowing AMCs to manage non-broad-based pooled funds—such as family offices and certain offshore vehicles—without obtaining a separate portfolio management services (PMS) licence, provided strict checks and balances are implemented. 'If AMCs are allowed to offer segregated mandates to large clients under a new category, the lines between PMS and mutual funds (MFs) will blur further. This raises regulatory parity questions,' said Sonam Srivastava, founder and fund manager at Wright Research PMS. She argued that PMS managers operate under stricter minimum investment thresholds, compliance costs, and client suitability obligations. 'If AMCs are allowed to offer similar services under the MF umbrella but with lighter-touch regulation or brand-driven advantages, it could lead to competitive imbalance and arbitrage,' she added. Uneven playing field and a new revenue stream Until now, AMCs interested in offering management and advisory services to such funds were required to hold a PMS licence, a layer of regulation the AMC sector contended created an uneven playing field compared to other intermediaries. Sebi's latest proposal opens up a new revenue stream for the domestic mutual fund industry, which handles assets worth Rs 75 trillion. 'The proposals could enable AMCs to engage with a wider spectrum of pooled vehicles which are non-broad-based, such as family offices or select offshore funds, which were earlier outside the regulatory scope,' said Swarup Mohanty, vice-chairman and chief executive officer, Mirae Asset Investment Managers (India). Safeguards, definitions and structural implications Under the proposal, non-broad-based funds are defined as those with fewer than 20 investors, or where a single investor holds more than 25 per cent of the corpus. Sebi has outlined safeguards to address potential conflicts of interest, including caps on fee differentials, resource allocation norms, and clear firewalls between mutual fund and private mandates. Pradeep Gupta, executive director and head of investments at Lighthouse Canton India, said a new set of investors would benefit from an experienced and well-resourced buy-side investment architecture that has proven itself across multiple market cycles. Market structure, HNIs and the competitive landscape A recent Jefferies report indicated that the high-net-worth investor (HNI) segment is already crowded, with revenue streams layered through various commissions and fees. Professional wealth managers now oversee assets exceeding Rs 65 trillion, and the space is witnessing strong competitive momentum for deepening service offerings. The report noted a likely trend towards advisory-led models as wealth managers look to tap larger-ticket clients. Despite concerns over increased competition, several PMS managers believe their established expertise in serving ultra-HNI requirements will remain a key differentiator. Divam Sharma, co-founder and fund manager at Green Portfolio PMS, said AMCs entering this space will heighten overall competition, but will also be subject to tighter controls on fees and operations. 'We've already built the systems and expertise needed for personalised, complex wealth solutions, so most family offices will continue to seek out hands-on, bespoke service,' he added. To allay concerns, Sebi has proposed permitting ancillary activities for AMCs, including fund distribution and global marketing. Public comments on the consultation paper are open until July 28, with market participants expecting a final framework before the end of the year.
