iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max Leaks: The iPhone 17 series is the highly discussed topic in the industry, given the recent leaks that have revealing exciting details about the iPhone 17 Air and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Reports say that Apple is planning a radical redesign, which would render the iPhone 17 Air one of the thinnest iPhones ever. It is apparently just 5.5mm thick and much thinner than the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which had a thickness of 8.25mm. Opposite to the Air, the thickness of the iPhone 17 Pro Max is said to have an increment to about 8.725mm that should accommodate a bigger battery and enhanced cooling.
Leaks also indicate that both models will likely have the same display size, probably a 6.7-inch OLED screen with ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate. Apple is expected to stick with its tradition of integrating higher-end LTPO panels for fluid visuals that keep the power consumption down. It is also expected that the iPhone 17 series may have thinner bezels and an improved Face ID system, immersing users into the terminal display experience.
Battery, Performance, and Camera Upgrades
Reports suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will boast larger batteries for much longer screen-on time in comparison with earlier models. The new battery technology said to be employed by Apple will be stacked batteries having a larger energy density with little or no additional size to the battery. This could mean better battery life for both the models even with the ultra-thin profile of the iPhone 17 Air.
For both iPhones, the A19 Bionic chip will be put in charge, working in tandem with AI-based enhancements and improved efficiency. Constructed in 3nm or more advanced architectures, this next-gen processor is set to become the fastest and most power-efficient ever. Its introduction would bring a lot of upgrades in terms of gaming performance, multitasking improvements, and AI-related features.
Camera upgradation will also be a focus. The iPhone 17 Pro Max would most likely be implementing a periscope-type zoom lens offering up to 10x optical zoom, a substantial upgrade for photography fans. The iPhone 17 Air, meanwhile, is expected to retain the same dual-camera configuration, with sensor improvements in low-light performance and overall image quality. Meanwhile, both models would still carry on the tradition of Apple computation photography that enhances details, color, and video recordings.
Expected Pricing and Availability
Though Apple neither confirmed nor denied any details, leaks look promising for an announcement of the iPhone 17 series in September 2025, corresponding with Apple’s usual launch cycle. Slight inflation is anticipated due to premium material and new technology involved in making these models. Starting price for the iPhone 17 Air is rumored to be in the region of ₹89,999 ($999), while the iPhone 17 Pro Max may command approximately ₹1,49,999 ($1,399).
As we get closer to the official reveal, more details will emerge regarding Apple’s flagship lineup.
