iPhone 17 Air will be incredibly thin

The decision to launch the iPhone 17 Air was made because the sales of the Plus model did not meet the expectations that Apple set when releasing 4 iPhone models every year. The highlight of the iPhone 17 Air is the thinnest size ever for the iPhone line. The question is how thin is this?

iPhone 17 Air will be "impressively thin"

A recent report said the iPhone 17 Air would be 6mm thin, but the latest information says the actual thickness of this product is between 5mm and 6mm, thinner than the iPhone 16 (7.8mm thick) and iPhone 16 Pro (8.25mm thick). For comparison, the latest iPad Air is 6.1mm thick, suggesting that the iPhone 17 Air will excel in thinness. However, this fragile design also means that some features will be eliminated, such as support for physical SIM cards and only having a single speaker that doubles as an earpiece.

The iPhone 17 Air will use an Apple-designed modem that promises to be smaller and more power-efficient than the current Qualcomm modem. However, this new modem will not support mmWave technology and will have slower data speeds.

Additionally, the iPhone 17 Air will have a smaller battery than the iPhone 16, expected to be smaller than the 3,561 mAh battery of this model. The device will also be equipped with a single rear camera located in a large camera cluster in the middle.

The expected features of the iPhone 17 Air include a 6.6-inch display, aluminum frame, A19 chip, Face ID, Dynamic Island, 48 MP rear camera, 24 MP selfie camera and 8 GB RAM. This product is expected to launch in September 2025, alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models. Sources said the iPhone 17 Air will cost around $ 1,299, making it the most expensive model in the iPhone 17 series launched next year.
