Apple’s forthcoming ultra-slim iPhone is anticipated to be remarkably lightweight as well.

Recent information regarding the speculated iPhone 17 Air has emerged from a post by user “yeux1122” on the Korean Naver blog, as noted by MacRumors. Per the leak, the new sleek iPhone will tip the scales at merely 145 grams. This positions it between the 2020 iPhone SE and the iPhone 13 Mini regarding weight, making it one of the lightest iPhones in recent memory.

For perspective, the iPhone 17 Air would be almost 20 grams lighter than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, one of its primary rivals in the ultra-slim smartphone segment.

The Naver entry further asserts that the iPhone 17 Air will incorporate a 2,800mAh battery. While this is considerably less than the 5,100mAh battery present in devices like the economical Google Pixel 9a, battery size alone doesn’t convey the complete picture. Thinner devices typically necessitate compromises, and Apple may be leveraging a high-density battery to counterbalance the smaller capacity.

The iPhone 17 Air is anticipated to launch alongside the rest of the iPhone 17 series this September.
