The upcoming iPhone 17 Air is set to impress with its incredibly thin design. According to a new report from renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 17 Air will be just 5.5mm thick at its thinnest point.
This makes it one of the slimmest iPhones ever, surpassing previous models in terms of thinness.
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to replace the iPhone 16 Plus, which has not sold as well as Apple had hoped.
Despite its slim profile, the iPhone 17 Air will likely not match the thickness of the latest 13-inch iPad Pro, which is just 5.1mm thick. However, it will come very close, offering an ultra-thin design that Apple fans will appreciate.
In addition to its thinness, the iPhone 17 Air may not have a physical SIM card slot. Instead, it could rely entirely on eSIM technology. This could cause issues in regions like China, where eSIM-only phones are not widely accepted.
Kuo also mentioned that the iPhone 17 Air could have some downgraded features to maintain its thin design.
For example, it might only have one rear camera, similar to the iPhone SE. Despite these potential changes, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to have a high price tag, making it a premium device.
While the iPhone 17 Air is still in development, it’s clear that Apple is aiming to make a bold statement with its design.
The device is expected to launch later this year, and we’ll learn more about its features as the release date approaches.
