The upcoming iPhone 17 Air, also called the iPhone 17 Slim, is getting a lot of hype, and it's easy to see why! Launching in 2025, this super-thin phone is rumored to be as slim as an iPad Pro, making it feel like you're holding a piece of paper. It's expected to have a 120Hz ProMotion display, so scrolling and watching videos will be super smooth—perfect for binge-watching or checking out social media. It might not have all the bells and whistles of the Pro models, but it's perfect for people who want a stylish, easy-to-carry phone without sacrificing performance. If Apple can pull this off, it could really shake up the smartphone market and attract a whole new crowd.
