While dummy models, cases, and renders have previously showcased its design, Lewis Hilsenteger of Unbox Therapy recently shared updated dummy models, offering a clearer look at the remarkably slim profile of the iPhone 17 Air. Juli Clover for MacRumors: ‎ The ‌iPhone 17 Air‌ is expected to be around 5.5mm thick (with a thicker camera bar area), making it the thinnest ‌iPhone‌ to date. With the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ models rumored to be around 8.725mm thick, there will be a notable difference between the ‌iPhone 17 Air‌ and the rest of the ‌iPhone 17‌ models. Hilsenteger was impressed by the thinness of the ‌iPhone 17 Air‌, speculating on whether it would bend because of the minimal casing. Rumors suggest that Apple will use a titanium and aluminum chassis for the ‌iPhone‌, with the aim of ensuring it’s strong enough not to bend. Apple also decided to keep the display size to 6.6 inches because of fears that a larger display would make the ‌iPhone 17 Air‌ too susceptible to bending. ‎ MacDailyNews Take: Hilsenteger raised concerns about the iPhone 17 Air’s battery life due to its ultra-thin design. However, Apple is addressing this by removing features like additional camera lenses to prioritize battery space, incorporating a more efficient C1 modem designed in-house, and optimizing performance through software. As a result, the iPhone 17 Air’s battery life is expected to match that of existing modern iPhone models. ‎ Please help support MacDailyNews — and enjoy subscriber-only articles, comments, chat, and more — by subscribing to our Substack: macdailynews.substack.com.
