Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Air could become the company’s slimmest smartphone ever, with leaked images showing a dramatic difference in thickness compared to the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro.
Key Details from the Leak:
- 5.5mm thinness – Nearly 3mm slimmer than iPhone 17 Pro
- Single rear camera – Unlike Pro models’ triple-lens setup
- Same size as iPhone 17 Pro Max – Just much thinner
- Bulging camera module – Adds 4mm, making total thickness 9.5mm near the lens
A leaked image from tipster @majinbuofficial shows 3D-printed models of both phones side by side, highlighting the iPhone 17 Air’s ultra-slim profile. While the camera area remains blurred, the difference in body thickness is clear.
How It Compares:
- vs iPhone 17 Pro – Expected to be significantly thicker
- vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge – Will compete as 2024’s slimmest flagship
What We Know So Far:
- Replaces iPhone 16 Plus in Apple’s lineup
- Launch expected late 2024 alongside iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max
- Design focus appears to be on extreme thinness over multiple cameras
Industry watchers note this could mark Apple’s push into ultra-premium, fashion-forward smartphones while keeping Pro models packed with camera tech.
