A new leak is providing us with a closer look at the rumored iPhone 17 Air, this time showcasing it in a stunning Sky Blue finish. Leaker Majin Bu shared a short video on X today, revealing a dummy unit of the upcoming phone from various angles.
This footage offers a great preview of how the color might appear in real life.
The light, almost pastel-like blue of the iPhone 17 Air contrasts beautifully with the iPhone 16 Pro’s Desert Titanium, which is featured in a side-by-side comparison. This visual also highlights the iPhone 17 Air’s expected slim profile. Previous leaks suggest that the Air model will be noticeably thinner than other iPhone models, possibly making it one of the slimmest iPhones Apple has ever released.
Based on rumors, the iPhone 17 Air will join Apple’s 2025 lineup, with an announcement expected in September. It’s rumored to offer a lightweight design, a thinner chassis, a brighter display, better battery efficiency, and a new camera system with improved low-light performance. Additionally, new materials could be used to reduce weight without compromising strength.
The ‘Air’ branding isn’t new to Apple products, having been used for the MacBook Air and iPad Air, both known for their slim, lightweight designs. If the leaks are correct, the iPhone 17 Air could follow this same trend.
If the iPhone 17 Air arrives as a thinner and lighter flagship, it will face competition from devices like Samsung’s Galaxy S25, which also focuses on sleek, lightweight designs. However, thin phones often come with compromises in battery size or cooling, so Apple’s balance between design and performance will be closely scrutinized.
The addition of the Sky Blue color is a refreshing change for Apple, and the thinner design may appeal to those who prioritize comfort in hand. However, some customers might prefer a slightly thicker device if it means longer battery life and better heat management. As always, the most accurate details will come with Apple’s official announcement, but if these early leaks hold up, the iPhone 17 Air could be one of the most striking iPhones in years.
