Next year’s iPhone 17 Air is already generating buzz for its ultra-thin design, but its unique display size might steal the show. Unlike Apple’s typical paired screen size offerings, the 17 Air introduces a 6.6-inch display that slots perfectly between the Pro’s 6.3 inches and the Pro Max’s 6.9 inches.
This experimental size is expected to offer the benefits of a larger screen while maintaining a compact feel thanks to the device’s thin form factor.
Apple’s flagship lineup traditionally sticks to a few main screen sizes, with Pro and base models sharing a 6.1-inch display and the Pro Max and Plus models offering 6.7 inches.
The iPhone 16 series made slight adjustments, increasing the Pro and Pro Max displays to 6.3 and 6.9 inches, respectively. The iPhone 17 Air’s 6.6-inch screen could appeal to users who find the Pro Max too bulky but still want more real estate than the Pro offers.
What makes the iPhone 17 Air particularly compelling is its blend of Pro-level features, including ProMotion and an always-on display.
These additions make it a strong alternative for users considering the Pro models, especially those who prioritize a balance between screen size and portability. The ultra-thin design ensures the phone remains easy to handle, even with its slightly larger screen.
For users who’ve struggled to find the ideal size, the iPhone 17 Air could be the perfect middle ground. It offers the utility of a larger display without sacrificing the comfort of a smaller device.
With this innovative approach, Apple may have just created the next must-have device in its lineup.
