Apple intends to release a slimmed-down iPhone model in 2025, which will be available for purchase alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. According to reports, the upcoming iPhone lineup will be very different in a few months. The iPhone 17 line will include a slimmer phone known as the iPhone 17 Air in addition to a new iPhone SE with Face ID. We may know more about that now, according to a recent report. According to a recent report, a new modem that was designed internally will be responsible for a large portion of the design upgrade. Mark Gurman in his recent Bloomberg's newsletter claims that the upcoming iPhone 17 "Air" will be roughly two millimeters thinner than the current iPhone 16 Pro.

An iPhone 17 that is 2 mm thinner would measure about 6.25 mm, since the iPhone 16 Pro is 8.25 mm thick. The iPhone 17 Air would be Apple's thinnest iPhone to date, measuring 6.25mm. With a 6.9mm thickness, the iPhone 6 was the thinnest model we've seen so far. With the iPhone X and later models, Apple made iPhones thicker to make room for the battery, camera lenses, Face ID hardware, and other components.

The iPhone 17 Air will be outfitted with Apple's proprietary 5G modem chip, which is smaller than Qualcomm's 5G modem chips. According to Gurman, Apple was able to create the slimmed-down iPhone 17 Air without compromising battery life, the camera, or the display quality because it concentrated on making the chip more integrated with other Apple-designed components to save space within the device.


A number of credible sources have now suggested that the iPhone 17 Air will have a thickness of approximately 6 mm, which was previously rumored to be between 5 and 6 mm. It is anticipated that the iPhone 17 Air will have a single-lens rear camera in addition to a display that is approximately 6.6 inches in size.

In addition to the iPhone SE early in the year and a low-cost iPad, the iPhone 17 Air will be one of three devices to receive a custom Apple modem chip in 2025. The extra room created by Apple's improved modem chip design may enable "new designs" like a foldable iPhone. Gurman claims that Apple is still investigating foldable iPhones. ‌

As it releases increasingly potent modem chips, Apple plans to phase out Qualcomm modems over a three-year period. In order to save more room and enable closer integration between hardware components, Apple may eventually introduce a system-on-a-chip that consists of a processor, modem, Wi-Fi chip, and other components.
