Next year’s iPhone 17 Air will not only be very thin, but will also have a very special screen.
The iPhone 17 Air will have a unique screen
So far, next year’s iPhone 17 Air has mainly received attention because of its thin design. But the unique screen may end up being the iPhone 17 Air’s best feature. Here’s what we know about it.
If you buy an iPhone, you have had a choice of a few different sizes for years: the ‘regular’ model and the Pro model always had a screen of 6.1 inches, the Plus and the Pro Max a screen of 6. 7 inches. That changed a bit with the arrival of the iPhone 16 series. The Pro models had a 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screen. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to have a display that fits exactly between these options.
An experimental screen size
According to the latest reports, Apple plans to adopt the existing iPhone 16 screen sizes for the iPhone 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. There’s only one big change coming to the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air. It has a 6.6-inch screen and therefore fits perfectly in the middle of the Pro and Pro Max. Ideal for anyone who wants a slightly larger screen, but finds the 6.9 inches of the iPhone 16 Pro Max just too big.
In addition, the screen of the iPhone 17 Air is expected to have two more important functions. Features that were previously exclusive to the Pro models. They are a ProMotion screen with a always on-function. These two features also make it a lot easier to switch from a Pro model to the iPhone 17 Air.
The iPhone 17 series will probably not be released until September 2025, so a lot can still change. But the iPhone 17 Air seems to be a device to look forward to!
