Highlights

• A hands-on video of a dummy unit shows the iPhone 17 Air with a sleek, ultra-thin body and a single rear camera in a full-width camera bar.
• A leaker claims the main colour will be a “very light blue” similar to Apple’s past “barely blue” finishes.
• Leaks suggest reduced bezels seen on the iPhone 17 Pro and Air may also appear on the base iPhone 17, hinting at a more uniform design.

We’re still a couple of months away from Apple officially unveiling the iPhone 17 lineup, but leaks and speculations are keeping us informed. After many images and dummy units look, a new hands-on video is now giving us a close look at what could be the iPhone 17 Air.

iPhone 17 Air – Hands-On Video

The dummy unit hands-on video, shared by leaker Majin Bu on X (formerly Twitter), shows off the iPhone 17 Air in a sleek black finish. Compared to the thicker and bulkier iPhone 17 Pro Max dummy he showed earlier, this new model looks much slimmer and lighter.

One of the key design features is a single rear camera housed in a full-width camera bar, giving it a distinct look from Apple’s current iPhones.

The contrast between the iPhone 17 Air and the Pro Max is stark, and the thinner design hints that Apple might be focusing more on portability and simplicity with this variant.

iPhone 17 Air – “Very Light” Blue Colour Option

Alongside the hands-on video, another leak suggests a possible new colour option for the iPhone 17 Air. Tipster Fixed focus digital on Weibo has a mixed track record when it comes to claims. But Fixed focus digital recently posted that the main colour for the device will be a “very light” blue, so light that it might look white in certain lighting.

The leaker even describes it as similar to Apple’s previous “barely blue” finishes like the Sierra Blue from the iPhone 13 Pro or the Sky Blue from the M4 MacBook Air.

While it’s unclear why this is being called the “main” colour, it’s possible Apple will highlight it in marketing as the fresh, standout shade for this model.

In another interesting twist, leaks also hint that the reduced bezels expected on the iPhone 17 Pro and Air could also make their way to the base iPhone 17, bringing a more uniform design across the lineup.
