Apple on Tuesday unveiled its new iPhone 17 line-up, which now includes an ultra-thin Air model. 

The design of the baseline model remains fairly unchanged, with the addition of several software updates. 

The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max debut a new design that some have compared to Google’s Pixel series.

The iPhone Air stole the show with its slim design; it's only 5.6 mm thick.  

Apple also deemed it its ‘most durable design yet’.

It replaces the iPhone 16 Plus, which was a larger version of the baseline model.

Apple also announced its Apple Watch 10 series, new SE and Ultra models.

“[They are] venturing more into the medical sphere of technology… it is going to be able to record your blood pressure, which I think is quite exciting because in the UK, five million people are walking around with high blood pressure… and they don’t even know it.”
