Leaked! iPhone 17 Air to Be Apple's Slimmest and Lightest Flagship Yet
Apple appears to be going ultra-slim with its upcoming iPhone 17 Air, which could become the thinnest and lightest flagship in the company's history. Leaks suggest that the new model will feature a sleek 5.5mm profile and weigh under 150 grams, making it significantly lighter than most current premium smartphones. According to a new report by GSMArena, the iPhone 17 Air may weigh around 146 grams, a dramatic reduction compared to its rivals. For context, Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge—considered one of the slimmest Android flagships—comes in at 163 grams. If accurate, this could position Apple's iPhone 17 Air as an ideal option for users who value lightweight design without sacrificing core features. To achieve this featherweight build, Apple is reportedly turning to 7000-series aluminium for the device's frame. Unlike the titanium used in the iPhone 15 Pro series, aluminium offers comparable strength but at a fraction of the weight. Reports indicate the frame alone may weigh just 25–30 grams. Further breakdowns of the internal components suggest a 35-gram OLED display, a single 48MP rear camera module weighing between 5–7 grams, and about 10–12 grams for the A19 chip and logic board. Another 10–12 grams are reportedly allotted to MagSafe hardware and other internals, while the glass back panel could add around 15 grams. Battery-wise, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to include advanced silicon-carbon (Si/C) battery technology. While this allows for better energy density in smaller cells, the total battery capacity will likely stay under 3,000mAh—possibly between 2,800 to 2,900mAh. Apple is also said to be developing a dedicated battery case for those who need extended usage, though such an accessory may compromise the device's ultra-slim design. Design leaks hint that the iPhone 17 Air will feature a 6.6-inch OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, Always-On Display, and support for the Dynamic Island interface. These elements aim to deliver a premium experience while maintaining the model's minimalist profile. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be launched alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Interestingly, this year's lineup may omit the Plus variant, reportedly due to declining sales. The Air model is believed to be priced around ₹89,900 in India, offering users a flagship experience in a more compact and lightweight form. As per tradition, Apple is likely to unveil the iPhone 17 series in September, with pre-orders opening soon after the keynote event. Devices are expected to start shipping within a week or two following the official launch. While Apple has not confirmed any of these details, the steady stream of credible leaks points to the iPhone 17 Air being a standout model in the 2025 lineup—perfect for those who want cutting-edge technology wrapped in an ultra-slim, lightweight design.

This follows earlier reports which suggested that the slimmest Apple device could weigh 145g or 150g. If this is indeed the case, then Apple's slimmest flagship will be significantly lighter than Samsung's latest compact and lightest flagship – the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge which weighs 163g. To achieve this slim profile and feather-light weight, Apple is reportedly building the iPhone 17 Air using 7000-series aluminium for the frame instead of titanium, which is commonly found in premium devices. Aluminium will allow the frame to weigh around 25–30 grams. Breaking down the internal components, the report also suggests that the iPhone 17 Air will feature a 35g OLED display, a single 48-megapixel rear camera module weighing between 5–7g, and about 10–12g allocated to the A19 chip and logic board. An additional 10–12g will be occupied by the MagSafe system and various internal electronics, with a 15g glass back completing the structural the exact capacity remains unclear, the report further claims that the iPhone 17 Air could feature advanced silicon-carbon (Si/C) battery technology. This next-generation battery chemistry would likely allow the iPhone 17 Air to have improved energy density without increasing physical despite this, the battery capacity is still expected to remain under 3,000mAh—likely in the 2,800–2,900mAh range. Apple is also reportedly working on a dedicated battery case for users who may require extended power, though such an accessory might detract from the device's thin and lightweight the iPhone 17 Air is rumoured to feature a striking 5.5mm profile—making it slimmer compared to all modern Apple devices.

Honor 400 Pro in for review
Today, we have the new Honor 400 Pro, fresh off its announcement. In a phone world that's constantly moving towards flat and squared-off phones (thanks, Apple!), this curvy handset comes to serve those that still appreciate the improved fit inside your palm. Both the front and back panels of the Honor 400 Pro are rounded at the edges, and the corners are rounded. You either love curved phones or you hate them, we've found, even here at GSMArena opinions are split. But it's not all about the shape. Honor's numerical series has always been design-focused (similarly to Oppo's Reno series). The Honor 400 Pro is a pretty phone and feels nice in the hand - we'd even use this one case-free (gasp!). The Honor 400 Pro is also now IP68 and IP69 rated for the highest water and dust protection. The unboxing is nothing special - you get the phone in a box, plus a USB cable for €800. The phone supports potent 100W charging, but you'd need to buy Honor's pricey charger separately. The Honor 400 Pro is easy to tell apart from the vanilla Honor 400. The non-Pro has flat sides all around, one less camera on the back (no 3x zoom), and is lacking the depth sensor upfront. While on the inside, the Pro has a more potent SoC - SD 8 Gen 3 vs SD 7 Gen 3, and more RAM - 16 GB vs 8 GB. The Honor 400 Pro next to the Honor 400 Honor made some changes to the cameras compared to the 200 Pro - the main unit has a 200 MP sensor, while the zoom is slightly longer at 3x (vs 2.5x). The ultrawide is seemingly the same 12 MP f/2.2 unit, as is the 50 MP f/2.1 selfie shooter. Finally, the Honor 400 series has a neat little feature called Photo to Video, driven by Google's Veo 2art video generation model, based on Google Cloud's Vertex AI. It can create a 5-second video from a photo you give it. It takes about a minute to complete the video generation, and there's no sound, but the results are highly impressive.

Poco F7 global variant appears on certification site: Specs and launch timeline leaked
The Poco F7 seems to be inching closer to its global debut, with the device recently surfacing on Thailand's NBTC certification website, reported GSMArena. Reportedly, this new listing suggests both the Poco F7 name and its global model number – 25053PC47G – further cementing speculation that a launch is on the horizon. Though the smartphone was initially expected to arrive in late May, recent developments suggest the unveiling may now take place sometime next month. If launched, the F7 will expand Poco's current F-series lineup, which already includes the F7 Pro and F7 Ultra. Based on multiple leaks and the device's model number, the Poco F7 is widely believed to be a global version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which was launched in China earlier this year, the publication added. If this holds true, consumers can expect a powerful set of specifications. The handset is tipped to feature a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280x2272 pixels, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and an impressive peak brightness of 3,200 nits. Under the hood, the Poco F7 is expected to house the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, paired with either 12GB or 16GB of RAM and internal storage options ranging from 256GB to a massive 1TB. Camera capabilities are likely to include a 50MP primary sensor, accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide lens. On the front, a 20MP selfie camera is expected to handle video calls and self-portraits. One of the standout features of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro is its substantial 7,550mAh battery. However, it remains uncertain whether this specification will be retained in the international version under the Poco branding. With certifications stacking up and rumours gaining momentum, it seems only a matter of time before Poco officially unveils the F7 to global markets. The brand appears set to continue its trend of delivering performance-driven smartphones at competitive price points.
