iPhone 17 Air, or just iPhone Air? | Render shown with 'AIR' name overlaid

Just hours ahead of the official announcement, a leaker has suggested that the iPhone 17 Air may instead simply be named the iPhone Air.

They show a photo of what is claimed to be a Chinese warranty leaflet for the phone showing this name. Although it may well be fake, there is one reason to give it perhaps a little credence …

We’re expecting Apple to announce four iPhones today:

iPhone 17

iPhone 17 Air

iPhone 17 Pro

iPhone 17 Pro Max

However, leaker DuanRui shows what is claimed to be a warranty card showing the name of the new thinnest iPhone as simply the iPhone Air.

It’s not uncommon for fake documents to be doing the rounds shortly before a new product launch. However, there is one possible reason to believe it could be true: the iPhone Fold.

We’re awaiting next year’s launch of a folding phone whose name is so far expected to simply be the iPhone Fold. If Apple omits a number from that, then perhaps it would also do the same with the Air?

Either way, we won’t have long to find out.
