Apple’s flashiest new iPhone launch this year will be the iPhone 17 Air / iPhone 17 Slim, a new entrant in the lineup featuring a striking 5.5mm thin chassis.
The Air is expected to replace the current Plus SKU, with a price point in the range of $900-$1000. Based on numerous leaked schematics, the iPhone 17 Air will sport a 6.6-inch display, nestling between the Pro and the Max in terms of size. But Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple is already working on a future generation Air with a bigger screen.
After the 17 Air this fall, Kuo says Apple will release a spec-bump update iPhone 18 Air in fall 2026, forming a regular annual update scheduled for the device. He says Apple is currently targeting a release date for the updated model with a bigger screen in the second half of 2027, which would make it the iPhone 19 Air.
