iPhone ‘Air’: Inheriting the thin and light legacy of Macbook and iPad

The use of the Air name is a nod to the MacBook Air and iPad Air lines, which are known for their thin and light designs. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, a respected technology writer, said the iPhone 17 Air is expected to be the thinnest iPhone ever, measuring just 5,8mm thick, significantly thinner than current iPhone models.

Gurman also revealed that the iPhone 17 Air will be a ‘testing ground for future technologies’, including those that will be used on Apple’s first foldable iPhone.

In addition, this super thin phone also offers some other notable highlights such as:

• The back is made of glass and aluminum, creating a luxurious and modern look.
• It’s likely that the iPhone 17 Air will have just one rear camera, housed in a bar-shaped module at the top.
• This could be the first iPhone to completely eliminate the SIM slot globally.
• The iPhone 17 Air is said to be equipped with a 5G modem developed by Apple itself, codenamed Sinope.

Not only Apple, Samsung is also said to be developing an ultra-thin smartphone model to compete with the iPhone 17 Air. The Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to be a direct competitor to the iPhone 17 Air in the ultra-thin smartphone segment.

Although Apple has not officially confirmed any information about the iPhone 17 Air, with increasingly clear rumors, users can completely expect a thin and light iPhone, fashion and integrate many advanced technologies in the near future.
