The iPhone 17 Air ???? is Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet at 6.0mm, making many wonder: Is it as durable as the Pro models when it comes to water resistance? In Pakistan, where the iPhone 17 Air price is high due to PTA tax and import duties, buyers want reassurance that their investment can handle daily accidents like splashes or rain. Let’s break down the facts and rumors about its IP rating. ????
✅ iPhone 17 Air Water Resistance Details
