iPhone 17 Air in sky blue leaked: Video shows colour and size compared to iPhone 16 Pro
Earlier this year, Apple introduced the M4 MacBook Air in Sky Blue, and the colour reportedly proved popular among users. The forthcoming iPhone 17 Air appears to follow a similar design approach, bringing back the shade for the smartphone line, noted 9To5Mac.
A video shared by Majin Bu on X showcases a dummy model of the iPhone 17 Air in Sky Blue from multiple angles. The clip highlights the colour's versatility, which can appear almost white under certain lighting conditions but shows a more distinct blue hue under others. The video also includes a side-by-side comparison with the iPhone 16 Pro in Desert Titanium, offering viewers a sense of the 17 Air's slimmer profile.
In terms of specifications, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature an A19 Pro processor with a reduced 5-core GPU configuration, according to Chinese tipster Fixed Focus Digital. Only the higher-end iPhone 17 Pro models are predicted to include the full 6-core GPU version. The source, who has previously shared accurate information about the device, suggested that the reduction in GPU cores could be related to chip binning or heat management in the thinner chassis. Reports indicate that the difference in everyday performance is unlikely to be noticeable to most users.
These claims contrast with earlier predictions by industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who suggested that the iPhone 17 Air would run on a standard A19 chip, while Fixed Focus Digital maintains that the base iPhone 17 will also use the regular A19.
The iPhone 17 Air is anticipated to continue Apple's trend of producing thinner, lighter devices, with additional colour options aimed at appealing to consumer preferences.

Foxconn's Bengaluru unit commences operation with iPhone 17 production
Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn's Bengaluru factory, its second-largest manufacturing unit, has commenced operation with production of iPhone 17 recently at a small scale, sources aware of the development said. Foxconn is the largest manufacturer of iPhones, and the second-biggest facility outside China in Devanahalli near Bengaluru, being set up at an investment of $2.8 billion (about ₹25,000 crore). "Foxconn Bengaluru unit has commenced operation with the production of iPhone 17. This is in addition to the production of iPhone 17 at its Chennai unit," a source aware of the development said. An email query sent to Apple and Foxconn elicited no reply on the development. The production had faced a brief interruption after hundreds of Chinese engineers went back abruptly. However, Foxconn has been able to get experts from various destinations, including Taiwan, to address the gap. According to multiple sources, Apple plans to increase iPhone production to 60 million units this year from about 35-40 million units in 2024-25. Apple assembled 60 per cent more iPhones, worth an estimated $22 billion, in India in the year ended March 31, 2025. The company's CEO Tim Cook, after the financial result announcement on July 31, said the majority of the iPhones sold in the US in June 2025 originated from India. Cook, during the second-quarter earnings call, had announced that all iPhones sold in the US in the June quarter will be shipped from India. According to an analysis by S&P Global, iPhone sales in the US were 75.9 million units in 2024, with March exports from India at 3.1 million units, suggesting a need to double shipments either through new capacity or redirecting shipments bound for the domestic market. Apple's supplies within India grew by 21.5 per cent annually to 5.9 million units in the first half of 2025, with iPhone 16 being the highest-shipped model across the country during the period. During the second quarter, Apple's iPhone supplies in India grew 19.7 per cent year-on-year in the June 2025 quarter, clocking 7.5 per cent market share in the country's smartphone market. The overall smartphone market in India during the June quarter was led by Chinese smartphone maker Vivo, which captured 19 per cent share, as per IDC.
