In an examination note with Hong Kong-based speculation bank Haitong today, got by MacRumors, Apple expert Jeff Pu said he concurs with a new gossip guaranteeing that the supposed "iPhone 17 Air" will be around 6mm thick.
"We concurred with the new chat of a 6mm thickness super thin plan of the iPhone 17 Thin model," he composed.
Assuming that estimation ends up being exact, there would be a couple of essential perspectives. In the first place, the iPhone 17 Air would turn into the most slender iPhone ever, coming in under the ongoing 6.9mm record held by the iPhone 6. Second, the iPhone 17 Air would associate with 3/4 as thick as any of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Genius models.
While certain clients might have trusted that the iPhone 17 Air would be much more slender, there is clearly a breaking point to how flimsy the battery and different parts can be. In the event that the gadget comes in around 6mm, it would in any case be amazingly slight and light contrasted with the undeniably bulkier models delivered throughout the course of recent years.
This is the way the iPhone 17 Air's thickness could contrast with different models:
iPhone 16 Expert and Genius Max: 8.25mm
iPhone 16 and 16 Or more: 7.8mm
iPhone 15 Ace and Star Max: 8.25mm
iPhone 15 and 15 Or more: 7.8mm
iPhone 14 Ace and Star Max: 7.85mm
iPhone 14 and 14 Or more: 7.8mm
iPhone 13 Ace and Star Max: 7.65mm
iPhone 13 and 13 scaled down: 7.65mm
iPhone 12 Ace and Star Max: 7.4mm
iPhone 12 and 12 scaled down: 7.4mm
iPhone 11 Genius and Ace Max: 8.1mm
iPhone 11: 8.3mm
iPhone XS and XS Max: 7.7mm
iPhone XR: 8.3mm
iPhone X: 7.7mm
iPhone 8 Or more: 7.5mm
iPhone 8: 7.3mm
iPhone 7 Or more: 7.3mm
iPhone 7: 7.1mm
iPhone 6s Or more: 7.3mm
iPhone 6s: 7.1mm
iPhone 6 Or more: 7.1mm
iPhone 6: 6.9mm
iPhone 17 Air talk: 6mm
All models preceding the iPhone 6 were somewhere in the range of 7.6mm and 12.3mm thick.
While the iPhone 17 Air could be the most slender iPhone ever, it wouldn't be the most slender Apple item of all time. That record is held by the 2024 rendition of the 13-inch iPad Genius, which is simply 5.1mm thick. Likewise, the last iPod nano was 5.4mm thick.
For the people who have not been following iPhone 17 Air tales, a few valid sources have guaranteed that Apple intends to deliver an updated, essentially more slender iPhone 17 model one year from now. The gadget's name isn't yet known, so we are alluding to it as the iPhone 17 Air until further notice. Pu has gone with the epithet "iPhone 17 Thin" all things being equal.
There have been clashing bits of gossip about the plan and particulars for the gadget, yet most sources have concurred that it will have around a 6.6-inch show. In July, Apple store network expert Ming-Chi Kuo said he anticipates that the gadget should have a standard A19 chip, a Unique Island, a solitary back camera, and an Apple-planned 5G modem.
Last month, Pu concurred the iPhone 17 Air will have a 6.6-inch show. He likewise anticipates that the gadget should include an aluminum outline, Face ID, a solitary 48-megapixel back camera, a 24-megapixel front camera, and 8GB of Smash for Apple Insight.
Apple will probably divulge the iPhone 17 Air in September 2025, so the gadget is still far away from sending off, and bits of hearsay could change over the long run.
