When Apple unveils its iPhone 17 set of phones in the fall, it looks like there will be one that is unlike anything before. Dubbed the iPhone 17 Air or iPhone 17 Slim (you can call it something else), it promises a new design and an oddly different feel, according to a new report.
All reports have advised something thinner than the existing range, and now a new measurement for the phone’s thickness has emerged: 6. 25mm, according to South Korean publication Sisa Journal, Tel only saw through the Macrumors.
This move is more or less in line with other claims suggesting that the iPhone 17 Air will be 25% thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro, for example. All reports point in the same direction: this will be the thinnest iPhone ever made.
After all, the thinnest iPhone yet, the iPhone 6, which was 6. 9mm thick and, if you remember, stood out as a very thin phone.
If 6.25mm proves correct, it is 20% thinner than the current iPhone 16 or the larger iPhone 16 Plus (each measuring 7.8mm from front to back), and 25% thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max which are both 8.25mm thick.
The report also comments on the price, saying that it will be similar to the iPhone 16 Plus—there’s no Plus model expected in this fall’s iPhone range.
This is good news as some previous reports had suggested that the iPhone 17 Air could cost as much as the more expensive Pro iPhones.
The most existing iPhone 16 prices $899, so the new report suggests it will be the same.
We’re only in January, so there’s plenty of time for more details to leak, but if it lives up to reports this year’s new-design phone could be an eye-catching change to the iPhone line.
