iPhone 17 Air could achieve a remarkable 5.5mm thickness

Apple is reportedly working on a new slim phone in the iPhone 17 lineup, which could be called iPhone 17 Air. According to TF Securities International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 17 Air will likely be just 5.5mm thick.

What’s interesting is that it is thinner than the iPhone 6. If you don’t remember, the iPhone 6 was just 6.9mm thick and launched in 2014. In addition to that, the iPhone 17 Air will nearly match the 13-inch iPad Pro’s thickness, which measures 5.1mm. This suggests the iPhone 17 Air will be the thinnest iPhone Apple ever made.

With that being said, this slim design might include some compromises. One such compromise is not adding the physical SIM card slot, so users will have to rely fully on eSIM only. It will be interesting to see how users will adopt eSIM-only tech in some markets like China.

On top of that, the phone could feature a small size battery compared to the current iPhone 16 models. It makes sense as the design will be compact. Another rumor suggests that Apple might include its in-house 5G modem. This new 5G modem will reportedly provide more internal space so that other components fit easily.

Speaking of other details, the iPhone 17 Air could feature a single speaker and a 48-megapixel rear camera. It could be equipped with the standard A19 chipset. As far as the pricing is concerned, the iPhone 17 Air could cost around $900, which is similar to the current iPhone 16 Plus.

All things considered, the iPhone 17 Air will probably be an option for anyone looking for a smaller iPhone with impressive specs. Up until now, Apple hasn’t officially commented on the rumors surrounding the iPhone 17 Air.
