Apple is reportedly working full speed on the iPhone 17 series, with increasing details emerging daily about the anticipated slim-design model, the iPhone 17 Air (or Slim). Initially rumored to be priced lower than the Pro models, new reports suggest that this may no longer be the case. Could the iPhone 17 Air end up being more expensive than expected? Here are the details.
iPhone 17 Air Could Be More Expensive Than the Pro Max
Expected to be the thinnest iPhone ever, the iPhone 17 Air was initially leaked as the priciest model in the lineup. Later, rumors suggested it would have a more affordable price point. However, a new report now claims the ultra-slim iPhone could be even more expensive than the Pro Max model.
Although the device’s launch is nearly a year away, it has remained a hot topic since the release of the iPhone 16 series. Popular sources have indicated that Apple plans to unveil a significantly thinner model next year, dubbed the iPhone 17 Air. According to these rumors, this new model could be Apple’s most expensive iPhone to date.
According to three insiders and two individuals close to the project, the iPhone 17 Air might debut alongside the iPhone 17 series in September 2025. It’s suggested that the device could cost more than $1,200, surpassing the Pro Max’s projected starting price.
However, skepticism arises when considering the iPhone 17 Air’s potential compromises:
- Lack of a second speaker
- Single-camera setup
- Reduced battery capacity
Given these limitations, its rumored high price might not justify the offering.
Could the iPhone 17 Air’s ultra-thin design make up for its higher price tag? Or are the rumored compromises too significant? Share your thoughts in the comments!
