Only 5.5 to 6.0 millimeters thin – the iPhone 17 Air could become the slimest Apple smartphone ever. Dummy that appeared show the astonishing size difference: the Pro Max model would be about 42 percent thicker than the Air variant.
iPhone 17 Air: Apple’s extremely slim new addition
A new photo of iPhone dummies shows: Apple apparently works on a particularly thin iPhone model for autumn. The iPhone 17 Air, which could replace the previous Plus model, is significantly slimmer at only 5.5 to 6.0 millimeters than the iPhone 17 Pro Max (probably 8.3 mm). The difference is clearly visible, as can now be seen in the latest pictures of the well -known leaker Majin Bu – and this could make the Air model a real eye -catcher.
Leaning look, new camera
The dummies are based on information from the supply chain and, in addition to the low height, show above all the striking new comradeship. Instead of a square module, the iPhone 17 Air should receive a horizontal bar with only one main camera-possibly with the 48-megapixel sensor of the iPhone 16e or 16. The camera area should be the thickest part of the device and reach up to 9.5 mm.
Technology under the hood
The image of Majin Bu, in contrast to the expected iPhone 17 Pro Max, shows very well. There have been many small details about the hardware from the rumor mill for weeks. The iPhone 17 Air could be equipped with a 6.55-inch display and support Magsafe, unlike the new iPhone 16E.
Inside, a new A19 chip is likely to work on iPhone Air, possibly supplemented by your own Apple modems for 5G and WLAN. So far, it is unclear whether the new C1 chip will also be installed. You will only experience the exact details in autumn.
Yes, there are compromises
The extremely flat construction awakens memories of the iPad Air 2 from 2014 – at that time a technical milestone with 6.1 mm, but with losses during the battery life. Also in the iPhone 17 Air, users should have similar restrictions.
