The iPhone 17 Air will be between the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max in terms of screen size, if an image shared by a serial leaker is to be believed.
The iPhone 17 generation is anticipated to be made up of four devices, with the iPhone 17 Air replacing the Plus model. Its position in the lineup will be similar to where the Plus fitted in, albeit with a wildly different design to the rest of the pack.
In an image released by serial leaker Majin Bu via X, supposed screen protectors for the iPhone 17 range are on display. The list starts with the smallest, the iPhone 17, followed by the iPhone 17 Pro, then the iPhone 17 Air, then the largest iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Given the simple nature of the image, it doesn’t really offer much new to the existing pile of rumors. However, it does at least give a good visual representation of what to expect from the different screen sizes.
As a leaker, Majin Bu prefers volume than accuracy, having switched from a fairly accurate approach in early years to a more recent mass-rumor-release version. It is also apparent that their leaks have often been sourced from elsewhere on the Internet, rather than from their own unique sources, in recent months.
For example, on August 8, the account made a fairly questionable claim about Apple using Liquid Silicone cases with a “liquid glass effect.”
Bigger and better
Current rumors for the iPhone 17 Air generally believe that it will have an OLED screen measuring 6.6 inches diagonally, though some also say it could be 6.7 inches. Made using Samsung’s M14 material, the screen could have a resolution of 2740 by 1,260, similar to that of the iPhone 16 Plus it replaces.
For comparison, the iPhone 17 is anticipated to have a screen of 6.3 inches, up from the 6.1 inches of the iPhone 16. The iPhone 17 Pro may have the same screen size as the non-Pro, while the Pro Max could have a 6.7-inch screen.
Majin Bu’s image doesn’t give specifications for the screens, but it does seem like the Air will be slightly smaller than the Pro Max. This may lean toward a 6.6-inch measurement instead of a 6.7-inch one.
