Apple iPhone 17 Air tipped to measure just 6 mm thick

Apple is reportedly going launch an iPhone 17 Air in September 2025, and expectations are the device to replace the Plus version, which has the least impressive sales in the current portfolio. The phone was initially rumored to be called iPhone 17 Slim, and today we get to learn its thickness.

According to a note by the Hong Kong-based investment bank Haitong, the iPhone 17 Air could measure around 6 mm. If that is really the case, this will be the thinnest iPhone ever, even thinner than the iPhone 6 with its 6.9 mm profile.

Many unknowns are still in the air, pun intended, but we already have some details. The new iPhone should have a 6.6” screen and A19 chip (the vanilla variant, not a Pro).

It could have only one camera on the back, which might sound like a dealbreaker, but analyst Ming-Chi Kuo already stated that Apple is looking to “emphasize innovative form factor design”, so don't expect flagship-tier camera setup. We will be looking for more leaks and rumors because this new iPhone 17 Air is definitely a gamble on Apple's side.
