According to a recent The Wall Street Journal report, the new slimmer iPhone model, which will be named as iPhone 17 Air could cost less than the new generation Pro models. Earlier, it was highlighted that the the new slimmer model could become the most expensive iPhone, however, now the tables have turned and the new price rumour makes much sense.

Additionally, the iPhone 17 Air is reportedly coming with several trade-offs which could help Apple save costs on accumulating the parts. Firstly, the smartphone is rumoured to come with a single rear camera, whereas, the iPhone Pro models are mostly expensive due to the advanced camera sensors. The iPhone 17 Air may also compromise on battery life with a smaller battery size. Rumours also suggest that it may not support dual speakers which could have a major impact on user experience. Therefore, paying more than $1200 would not have made sense and may attract buyers as well. Therefore, we expect that the new iPhone 17 Air could be priced under $1000 or as low as $899 similar to the current iPhone 16 Plus model.
