California: Apple (AAPL) will hold its annual fall event on September 9 at its Cupertino headquarters in California. At this event, the company can unveil its series of new iPhones and Apple Watches. The biggest expectation from this event can be to see a new model in the form of the iPhone 17 Air, which will come with some big changes in terms of design and features.

The biggest attraction of the iPhone 17 Air is its slim and light design. This phone will be just 5.5 mm thick, which is much thinner than the current iPhone and iPhone Pro. For example, the normal model of the iPhone is 7.8 mm thick, while the iPhone Pro is 8.3 mm thick.
This thinner design represents a new size and weight, which will give users a lighter phone experience. However, this design may also have some problems.
This thinning of the iPhone 17 Air's design may also have some problems. A change can be seen in the camera setup, where it may have only one wide-angle camera, which is smaller than the dual- or triple-camera setup found in the current iPhone and iPhone Pro.
Also, this phone may have a smaller battery, which may impact battery life if Apple does not try to improve it with its software technology. This may prove to be a tough sell, as customers generally want phones that have bigger batteries and more camera features.
The iPhone 17 Air could be a blueprint for Apple's future foldable iPhone. According to Apple's lead analyst Mark Gurman, Apple plans to launch its foldable iPhone in 2026, and the iPhone 17 Air could be the first step towards that.

Samsung also introduced a similar model and later launched its Galaxy Z Fold 7, which came with an extremely thin and compressed design and is selling well.
Apart from the iPhone 17 Air, Apple is also planning to introduce the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The iPhone 17 Air will replace the older Plus model, which was the lowest-selling of the main iPhones so far.
This time, the iPhone 17 and 17 Air will get the A19 processor, while the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will get the A19 Pro chip.
Apple likely to discontinue iPhone 15, 16
The iPhone 17 Pro is likely to get a new telephoto lens and a redesigned camera bump, making it look different from the iPhone 16 Pro. Apart from this, the iPhone 17 will get a larger display of 6.3 inches, which will be larger than the 6.1-inch screen of the previous iPhone 16.
The iPhone 17 Air to be introduced by Apple is likely to get a slight increase in price, which could be between 50 dollars and 100 dollars. However, its price has not been confirmed yet, but it is an estimate from some reports.
The iPhone 17 Air will be an important part of Apple's new smartphone series, which will provide a new experience with its thin design, low camera setup, and small battery.
Apart from this, other variants of the iPhone 17 will also have better performance and camera features, which can attract customers. After these new smartphones are unveiled at Apple's annual event to be held on September 9, this series can create a new stream in the Indian and global markets.
