Because of its revolutionary ultra-slim 5.5mm chassis, the Air appeals to a niche design-focused demographic that rejects bulky handsets. Despite having a single camera, the novelty of the form factor maintains high demand, stabilizing its price against depreciation common in standard tiers.

As a first-generation form factor, the iPhone 17 Air is experiencing volatile pricing. Current data indicates it holds value well (~$750), but niche models often see sudden drops if initial market hype cools. We recommend selling before the 6-month mark (March) to avoid a predicted 15% value correction.
| Feature | Specification | Impact on Trade-in Value |
|---|---|---|
| Design/Build | Ultra-Thin 5.5mm Chassis | Very High. The unique form factor is a status symbol, keeping resale values artificially high. |
| Processor | A19 Bionic | High. Offers flagship speed in a thin body, attracting minimalists willing to pay extra. |
| Camera System | Single 48MP Wide | Moderate. While not Pro-grade, the camera stabilizes pricing for its niche audience. |
| Display | 6.6" OLED (60Hz) | Low. Lack of ProMotion is the main trade-in deduction point. |
