Now that the iPad has a very thin version, it’s the iPhone’s turn. According to rumors, the iPhone 17 Air will be this thin in 2025!
iPhone 17 Air: This is how thin the iPhone will be in 2025
The iPhone 16 is getting quite a few new features, but rumor has it that the really notable changes will come with the introduction of the iPhone 17. That’s when Apple plans to introduce the iPhone 17 Air. One of the key features of this device is that it will be very thin. But how thin will it actually be? Here’s what you can expect based on the products that are already available.
If we look at the iPhones of the past years, we always get four models of the smartphone. So this year the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max will be released. The line-up of these four models has been there since 2022 when the iPhone mini was replaced.
Next year, the Plus model will be replaced by the iPhone 17 Air. The iPhone Air can be compared to the iPad Air series. It is not as good as the Pro, but better than the standard model. But how thin will this Air actually be?
If you have an iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, or iPhone 15 Pro Max, your iPhone has a USB-C port that you can use to charge it. A closer look gives you an idea of ​​just how thin the iPhone 17 Air will be. There are still fairly thick bezels around the port, but the Air will be slightly thicker than the thickness of the USB-C port.
Why does the thickness of the USB-C port matter so much? Because the iPhone 17 Air can’t get any thinner than this port, so it’s a good place to start. And the Air will likely follow the lead of the iPad Pro 2024, which is incredibly thin. In fact, Apple says the iPad Pro with the M4 will be the thinnest Apple product ever.
If we compare the thicknesses between the thin iPad Pro and the iPhone 15, you can see that there is still quite a bit of room for improvement with the iPhones. The iPad Pro is 5.1 mm thick, but the iPhone 15 is 7.8 mm. The iPhone 15 Pro is even a bit thicker with its 8.25 mm.
