I see no point in thinner phones unless they have folding form factor

        Still comes with a huge camera bump, and one that only houses a single mediocre camera. Pointless fragile device.

          Gonna love how these will snap...

            I don't see any advantages with this new trend.
            Smartphone industry has been there long time ago and departed from it.

              Now, this new iPhone Air isn't some groundbreaking "Apple innovation", it's a long-overdue return to actual innovation : shrinking those bulky components back to a reasonable size. While still improving them, and next, maybe even make them smaller and better.

              Making today's powerful tech sleek again after a decade of bulkiness.

                I am missing the point of these thin phones with camera hump, why not make rear side flush without hump and use that space for extra battery? People really care more about how thin the phone is than how long it can last on battery?

                  5.65 mm is "scary thin"? Please... Vivo X5 Max from 2014 was 5.1 mm thick and still had a headphone jack.

                  "Innovation" by Apple. Nothing but a joke.

                          Plz give a regular size Air; not just a larger Air.

                                        Base model again 0.2mm thicker. Sure it’s not much but that was already the case with the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13, so they went from the iPhone 12 being almost thin, to the iPhone 17 being just average. And it is bigger as well, probably the same bezel size as 16 Pro now, whereas 15 and 16 had thicker bezels than the 15 Pro. I hope it is at least not heavier. But a thicker device with a case on makes one hand use more and more difficult.
