New image shows how slim the Apple iPhone 17 Air is compared to the iPhone 17 Pro
We've been hearing about the Apple iPhone 17 Air for the past few months, which is rumored to arrive later this year with an extremely thin profile. Leaked renders already gave us an idea of what the iPhone 17 Air will look like, and now a new image that has surfaced online shows us how slim the iPhone 17 Air will be compared to the iPhone 17 Pro.
The image below shows the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Air beside each other. The Pro is on the left, and the Air is on the right. These are likely the 3D-printed models based on CAD renders, but you can see that the Air's thickness is almost half that of the Pro model.
Previous rumors claimed the Apple iPhone 17 Air will be 5.5mm thick, but that's without considering the camera bump. When you factor in the camera bump, the total thickness of the iPhone 17 Air reaches 9.5mm.
