Apple
- Apple unveiled four new iPhone models: the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air.
- Customers upgrading from an entry-level iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro to the iPhone Air will get a larger screen.
- However, customers upgrading from the 16 Plus or Pro Max will get a smaller screen.
Is the iPhone Air’s slim profile calling to you? If you’re thinking of upgrading, keep in mind that going thinner likely means a slightly smaller — or larger — screen.
The iPhone Air, the standout model of the four smartphones Apple announced at its “Awe-inspiring” event earlier this week, is the thinnest iPhone ever made, clocking in at 5.6 millimeters. The iPhone Air also has a 6.5-inch display screen.
So how does that compare to other new iPhones and the older model that you might be reading this article on right now?
The iPhone Air has a larger display screen than the entry-level iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro, which both measure 6.3 inches. However, the iPhone 17 Pro Max overtakes all three and has a 6.9-inch display screen.

| Model | Screen Size |
| iPhone 17 | 6.3 inches |
| iPhone 17 Pro | 6.3 inches |
| iPhone 17 Pro Max | 6.9 inches |
| iPhone Air | 6.5 inches |
Customers considering upgrading from the iPhone 16 family to the iPhone Air could be sacrificing some screen size unless you specifically opted for one of the larger-screen models.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16e both have a 6.1-inch display screen, while the iPhone 16 Pro measures 6.3 inches. The iPhone 16 Plus — 6.7 inches — and the iPhone 16 Pro Max — 6.9 inches — both have a larger screen than the iPhone Air.
| Model | Screen Size |
| iPhone 16 | 6.1 inches |
| iPhone 16 Plus | 6.7 inches |
| iPhone 16 Pro | 6.3 inches |
| iPhone 16 Pro Max | 6.9 inches |
| iPhone 16e | 6.1 inches |
Beyond screen size, there are other important factors to consider when selecting a new phone, especially cost, battery life, and camera quality. Apple says the iPhone Air will have “all-day battery life,” but also announced an iPhone Air-specific MagSafe battery add-on.
If you’re looking to save, consider the $799 entry-level iPhone 17. If you want the biggest battery and top-of-the-line camera tech, consider the iPhone 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max, but be ready to spend at least $1,099.
If you want the lightest and thinnest model at the expense of some battery life and camera tech, then the Air might be for you.
For those debating between models, you can head into an Apple store next week and get a closer look at the phones in person, starting on Friday, September 19.
Pre-orders for the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 lineup begin a week earlier on Friday, September 12.
