iPhone 17 Air Now Rumored to Feature 6.7-Inch Display [Updated]

Apple's rumored "iPhone 17 Air" model could feature a larger display than originally expected.

iPhone 17 Air Front Page Tech 2
On the Recycle Bin podcast this week, Jon Prosser said the iPhone 17 Air will be equipped with a 6.7-inch display, rather than a 6.6-inch display as previously rumored.

Last year, display industry analyst Ross Young said the iPhone 17 Air would have a 6.55-inch display, or a 6.6-inch display when rounded up.

It is unclear which rumored measurement is accurate: 6.6 inches or 6.7 inches.

Prosser also claimed that the iPhone 17 Air will be 5.64mm thick, at least when excluding the device's rumored rear camera bar.

Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had said the iPhone 17 Air would measure just 5.5mm at its thinnest point. 5.64mm is not too far off, if accurate.

Prosser is a well-known tech YouTuber who runs the channel Front Page Tech. Like most sources, he has a mixed track record with Apple rumors, with some hits and some misses. In 2020, he was the first source to reveal the design of the AirTag, many months before it was announced. He also shared many accurate details about the iPad mini 6, months before that device was announced. On the other hand, he and others were wrong about the Apple Watch Series 7 having flat edges, although perhaps Apple tested such a design.

Prosser has leaked several Apple-related details in recent weeks, including the alleged designs of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Air. He also claimed that iOS 19 will feature a redesigned Camera app with a visionOS-like interface.

Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 17 Air in September.

Update: In response to this report, Young reiterated his 6.55-inch display size claim for the iPhone 17 Air.

Does it really matter? 99% of the users won't tell the 0.1" difference.

So, at this point it’s just a 25% thinner iPhone Plus with one less camera.

The size difference doesn’t matter since there is almost no girth.

You are joking, right?
Going from 8.3 to 5.6MM thin means that it’s 31% thinner.
31% is quite a lot.
They were referring to the screen sizes, not the thickness

[HEADING=2]Jon Prosser on iPhone 14: No Notch, No Camera Bump, Titanium Design, and More[/HEADING]
This guy seem to have amazing accuracy in his older leaks.
I mean, he was partially correct, the iPhone 14 Pro did ditch the notch and the very next year they did switch to titanium.
You forgot to mention those iPhone 14 leaks were from over a year before the phone actually released, so the fact that the two most realistic things listed there actually happened eventually doesn’t necessarily make him look as bad as you think it does.
