We are still in April, but rumors about Apple's upcoming iPhone models are already buzzing. This year, Apple is expected to unveil not just the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro, but also a new model called the iPhone 17 Air or sometimes referred to as the iPhone 17 Slim.
Recently, several images of dummy units for the iPhone 17 Air have surfaced. Reports suggest that this model will be around 5.5mm thick, slightly thicker than the current iPad Pro (M4). The latest leak includes a video showcasing a dummy unit of the iPhone 17 Air from a manufacturer in China.The eight-minute video was featured on Unbox Therapy and displays both the iPhone 17 Air and dummy units for the iPhone 17 Pro Max and standard iPhone 17. The design of the dummy unit for the Pro Max aligns with earlier reports indicating that this model will undergo some changes on its back side.

The size of the iPhone 17 Air appears to fall between that of its siblings—the standard version and Pro Max. It is taller than the regular model but shorter than its more advanced counterpart based on what was shown in this video. While specific details about features remain scarce, Unbox Therapy expressed confidence that Apple could sell many units of this new phone.However, there were concerns raised regarding durability; viewers wondered if such a slim device would be prone to bending. Battery life is another issue as it’s unclear how much power can fit into such a thin frame when compared to its buttons.
On examining its back side, Unbox Therapy noted that one camera sensor occupies an area spanning across most of it—consistent with previous leaks about this device's design.
