The latest appearance of iPhone 17 Air is released: 6.6-inch high refresh screen + single camera

Overseas blogger fpt. brought the latest version of the iPhone 17 Air full-scale renderings, showing the appearance details of this thinnest phone in Apple’s history.

This is a new model that will replace the current Plus version. It still has a larger screen than the standard version, but the main highlight is no longer just the large screen, but the 5.5mm ultra-thin body.

The phone will be equipped with a 6.6-inch OLED screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz. This is the first time that Apple has equipped a non-Pro model with a high refresh rate. It is expected that the standard version will also be lowered, which can be called an epic upgrade.

In comparison, the current iPhone 16 Plus has a 6.7-inch screen, a 60Hz refresh rate, and a thickness of 7.8mm.

Due to its thin and light body, the iPhone 17 Air is only equipped with one rear camera, but the module spans the entire body, which may be a compromise due to internal stacking.

It is worth noting that this oval cold-carved glass treatment is very similar to the liquid glass UI of iOS 26.

In addition to the rear camera, the battery also made a huge concession for the ultra-thin body. The battery capacity is only more than 3000 mAh. With the blessing of large screen + high refresh rate, this may make battery life a huge pain point.

Apple even directly cancelled the physical SIM card slot. If eSIM cannot be opened in the domestic market in the second half of the year, the phone will not be available in the domestic market.

In terms of core configuration, the iPhone 17 Air will be equipped with an A19 chip + self-developed C1 baseband, 12GB of memory, and a single camera on the back with 48 million pixels.
