New report confirms iPhone 17 Air will be the thinnest model in Apple history
Apple is ready to revolution in its 2025 iPhone range in which we will see the disappearance of the Plus models and the arrival of a new model with a unique design. We know this iPhone as the “iPhone 17 Air” due to rumors that it will be extremely thin, and now it is reported that it will surpass the iPhone 6, positioning itself as the The thinnest iPhone in history
According to some rumors, this iPhone could serve as a basis for future iPhone models, similar to the iPhone, Pu assures that the iPhone 17 Air would only be 6 mm thick. A real record in Apple’s iPhone range.
We agree with recent discussions about a 6mm-thin ultra-thin design for the iPhone 17 Slim model.
The iPhone 17 Air will be the thinnest iPhone in history
Only 6 mm, that’s what the thickness of the iPhone 17 Air would be, exceeding the 6.9mm of the iPhone 6 which so far has been the thinnest iPhone in history. A design like this comes with some sacrifices but also many challenges.
One of the biggest design problems faced by Apple is known as “bendgate” which affected the iPhone 6. This problem made them too easy to foldwith a large number of users affected. Something that Apple has corrected with a more resistant structure.
For years it seems that Apple’s obsession was to make iPhones thinner and thinnerwhich was true until the arrival of the iPhone 6. But, from then on, the thickness of the iPhone increased, although it seems to have stabilized around 8 mm. Here is the thickness of each generation of iPhone:

He The iPhone 17 could give us back that old Apple idea. A design idea that we have seen in other devices, such as the latest iPad Pro which has a thickness of only 5.1mm, being the thinnest device ever launched by Apple.
The iPhone 17 Air will not achieve much since, In such a thin space, a normal battery cannot fit. Apple must use a completely new and revolutionary design for this iPhone to have similar battery life to its siblings in the range.
