We know the iphone 17 Air will be extremely thin, but there have been conflicting rumors regarding itsexact dimensions. The iphone 17 Air is clearly shaping up to be really interesting new wrinkle in Apple's iPhone 17 lineup for later this year, and as the name suggests, we're one of the thinnest and lightest iPhone ever made. Apple intends to produce it.
The 6 mm mark has been the subject of rumors, but according to a recent report, trustworthy Apple analyst Ming Choo stated that he anticipates the iPhone to measure in at roughly 5.5 millimeters. A 5.5 mm iPhone would be about 30% thinner than the iPhone 16, which is 7.8 mm thick, and 33% thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro Models, which are about 8.25 mm. The iPhone 17 Air will be the thinnest iPhone to date, a title currently held by the 6.9 mm iPhone 6, which was released back in 2014.
The new iPad Pro is extremely thin, measuring in at 5.1 mm, making it Apple's thinnest device. In terms of thickness, it won't be too different from the 12.9-inch iPad Pro that was released last year. According to Quo, the thinnest point of the iPhone 17 Air will be 5.5 mm, so it appears that a camera bump device is still in the cards. According to Quo, the thinnest point of the iPhone 17 Air will be 5.5 mm, so it appears that a camera bump is still to be expected. Apple is also planning to use a single 48 megapixel rear camera, choosing to use just one lens due to space constraints. Additionally, due to space constraints in such a small chassis, Apple is planning to use a single 48 megapixel rear camera. Based on rumors, this iPhone will be radically different from the design standpoint. It will feel incredibly thin and light in the hand, which could provide a completely different iPhone experience than what we're used to.
Additionally, we can anticipate that the iPhone 17 Air will once again feature the single 48 megapixel rear camera mentioned above. However, there have been rumors that Apple is ultimately settling on a screen size of 6.55, 6.6, or 6.65 inches, which would make it larger than the iPhone 17 Pro but smaller than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The iPhone 17 Air may also have a pill-shaped cutout and a smaller hole for the front camera, creating a narrower Dynamic Island. Additionally, we can anticipate that this iPhone and all other iPhone 17 models will have a 120 Hz promotion display, which is fantastic to see throughout the lineup for the first time. It is now anticipated that the device will only have one speaker at the top because there isn't space for one on the bottom edge. Finally, regarding the frame, it is believed that the thin iPhone 17 will have a titanium aluminum frame with a titanium mix that is heavier on aluminum than the current iPhones, which have two speakers—one at the top and one at the bottom—so there will be a slight difference in sound quality. The design of the new device is reportedly going to be its main selling point rather than many of its internal components, so don't expect it to have pro specifications; instead, it's likely to be more in line with the iPhone 17.
