Apple is reportedly preparing to release the iPhone 17 Air in at least four color options: Black, Silver, Light Gold, and Light Blue. This information comes from a leaker known as Majin Bu, who claims to have verified these details through his sources. The Light Blue color was first hinted at by Fixed Focus Digital, a popular Weibo account with over two million followers.
While the exact marketing names for Light Gold and Light Blue remain unconfirmed, Majin Bu indicated that the Light Blue shade may resemble the Sky Blue finish available on the latest MacBook Air. This has led to speculation that Apple could adopt the Sky Blue name for the iPhone 17 Air as well.
Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 17 Air in September. Anticipated to be the thinnest iPhone to date, the device is expected to feature a 6.6-inch OLED display, support for MagSafe, and 12GB of RAM. However, it will likely have some trade-offs compared to the more advanced iPhone 17 Pro models.
According to Majin Bu, the iPhone 17 Air may have a less powerful battery, a single rear camera, and only one speaker. The device could be powered by either an A19 chip or a slightly modified version of the A19 Pro chip.
While Majin Bu has a mixed track record with Apple-related rumors, he recently provided accurate information about iPadOS 26 introducing a Mac-like menu bar. As anticipation builds for the iPhone 17 Air, consumers and tech enthusiasts alike are eager for further updates from Apple regarding its next-generation devices.
The iPhone 17 Air is positioned to attract users seeking a sleek design and impressive specifications, albeit with some limitations compared to its Pro counterpart. As the launch date approaches, more details are expected to emerge, shedding light on this highly anticipated addition to Apple’s lineup.
