Latest images of iPhone 17 Air

In a video posted on the Unbox Therapy channel on April 22, YouTuber Lewis Hilsenteger shared a series of models of the supposed ultra-thin iPhone 17, tentatively called the iPhone 17 Air. The device is expected to be launched by Apple later this year along with the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max.

Based on the rumors, the iPhone 17 Air could be 5.5-5.6mm thick at its thinnest point, while the camera area could be thicker. If the rumors are accurate, this would be Apple's thinnest iPhone. For comparison, the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to be around 8.725mm thick.

“It feels like it's from the future,” Hilsenteger said, impressed with how thin the iPhone 17 Air is, especially when compared to other iPhone 17 models.

While surprised by the thinness, Hilsenteger is concerned about the possibility of the body bending easily due to the minimalist shell. According to MacRumors , Apple may use a titanium-aluminum alloy to increase the rigidity of the iPhone 17 Air.

Apple faced a similar issue in 2014 with the “bendgate” incident, which involved the iPhone 6 Plus being prone to bending when placed in a pocket. Many people are worried that the iPhone 17 Air could have a similar problem if the case is not strong enough.

Additionally, the iPhone 17 Air's screen size could be around 6.6 inches. Initially, MacRumors reported that Apple wanted to use a 6.9-inch screen similar to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, but then decided to shrink the screen size to avoid warping.

Despite its slim design, the iPhone 17 Air is rumored to still feature a MagSafe magnetic charger, which is not cut out like the iPhone 16e. Hilsenteger also questioned the battery life of the iPhone 17 Air due to its extremely slim design.

Rumors suggest Apple may cut back on some features, such as a single-lens rear camera, to make room for the battery. Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman said in March that Apple's development team had to change the display design, semiconductor components, and software to optimize power.

Additionally, the iPhone 17 Air could use the standard A19 chip and the C1 modem for software power optimization. Since its appearance on the iPhone 16e, initial reviews have shown that the C1's speed is not much different from the Qualcomm modem but consumes less power. However, the chip does not yet support the high-speed 5G mmWave band.
