Apple is preparing to launch a sharp thinner iPhone in September of this year, and if the recent leaks are something that can be passed, the so-called iPhone 17 air boasts one of the most radical design shifts in recent years.

Crowned only 5.5 mm (excluding a little camera strengthening). tolerance. For comparison, the current iPhone 16 Pro has a thickness of 8.25 mm. Fictive models separated by Appletrack suggest that Apple has made some subtle adjustments to accommodate internal components in a stronger chassis. In particular, the USB-C port on the lower edge is no longer centered in front to the back. Instead, it seems dispersed closer to the back of the device, which will probably place the components of the display in the case.
There are other signs of Apple efforts. For example, grill-dynamics show a structure with a painted back, on both sides of the port only on both sides compared to typical five. This reduction reflects the same measures to reduce the space necessary for the installation of battery, processor, components of display and speakers in a much thinner frame. It is expected that the company will also completely delete a physical SIM card, introducing support only ESIM throughout the world, first seen in the US iPhone with the iPhone 14. The ultra-efficient chip should play a large role in maintaining the service life of the battery in such a thin frame. Despite its size, sources suggest that Air iPhone 17 will offer batteries performance at the same level with current iPhone models.
