Here's a good look at how thin the iPhone 17 Air is

In 2025, Apple is expected to release an “iPhone 17 Air”. If the name remains to be confirmed, all the information about it agrees to say that it will be the thinnest iPhone ever launched.

The renowned analyst and Apple specialist, Ming-Chi Kuo, recently mentioned a thickness of only 5.5 mm for this iPhone 17 Air, without taking into account the protuberance of the camera, however.

iPhone 17 Air compared to other Apple devices

So that we can better understand what this could give, the site MacRumors has published renderings comparing the supposed design of the iPhone 17 Air to other Apple devices.

We can thus see how the next phone will be almost as thin as the 13-inch iPad Pro M4 and above all, how much thinner it will be than an iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Let us also remember that this finesse would physically prevent the iPhone 17 Air from having more than one camera on the back. We also expect a 48 Mpx sensor.

Among the information circulating on the web about the iPhone 17 Air, we also note a 6.6-inch screen, an A19 chip and the integration of the first 5G modem chip designed in-house by Apple.

5,5 mm ?

Finally, let us point out that this thinness of 5.5 mm remains debated. In December, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg spoke instead of a smartphone 2 mm thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro, which would bring the iPhone 17 Air to 6.25 mm. This would remain the longest phone Apple has ever produced.
