The same Information report noted that the iPhone 17 Air would have just a single speaker in the earpiece, removing one from the bottom edge that you get on current iPhones. This means you’ll lose the stereo sound experience offered by current models.

However, the ultra-thin form factor comes at a cost, as reports suggest that the iPhone 17 Air will lack three flagship features: a dual-camera setup, a bottom speaker, and a physical SIM tray.

The iPhone 17 Air is rumoured to be the thinnest phone in the Apple-verse. But it comes at a price. A recent leak suggests that the iPhone 17 Air might cut the edges on its features to make it ultra-thin.

Apple’s iPhone 17 Air is expected to be the thinnest iPhone ever but may lack a bottom speaker, Ultra-Wide camera, and SIM slot.

According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the entire ‌iPhone 17‌ lineup will feature a 24-megapixel front-facing camera with a six-element lens. The ‌iPhone‌ 14 and 15 feature a 12-megapixel front-facing camera with five plastic lens elements, and the ‌iPhone 16‌ lineup features the same hardware.
