Apple plans to make the iPhone 17 Air super thin at just 5.5mm, where your fingers hold it. The camera sticks out more. Some people worry the slim phone might bend like older models did. Lewis from Unbox Therapy showed off sample versions on his YouTube channel. He compared them with regular iPhone 17 Pro models, which measure much thicker at 8.7mm.
Lewis feels impressed but nervous about how skinny these phones look. His channel became famous years ago when he tested iPhone 6 bending problems. Apple knows about these concerns. The company made the screen 6.6 inches instead of their first idea of 6.9 inches. This change helps prevent the phone from bending when users carry it. The smaller design makes the device stronger.
People also ask if thin phones can last all day without charging. Apple wants to use new silicon-carbon batteries that pack more power into less space. These batteries might keep the phone running as long as current iPhones, despite the slimmer case. A special C1 modem chip designed by Apple should help save power. The company hopes these changes will make their thinnest iPhone work well for everyone.
