Rumor: iPhone 17 Air may not be as small as Apple had originally intended.

Apple is widely expected to release an all-new iPhone 17 Air next year, with a focus on form above function. The new iPhone 17 Air has been characterized as “ultra-slim,” but a new supply chain report this week claims Apple has encountered a stumbling block in getting the gadget as thin as it had anticipated.

How thin will the iPhone 17 Air be?

The Naver account yeux1122 has given rise to the changes on the specifications of the iPhone 17 Air especially on why as a result of battery technology issues, there are limits on how thin the device can be. Changing the strategy of arming the iPhone 17 Air with an entirely new battery technology which reduces the thickness of the internal frame of the battery went a long way into helping Apple realize its ambition of making a killer device. This however proved to be difficult on a number of fronts including the expense of the components, the ability to repeat the process consistently, and the compromises that had to be made.

It is reported recently, that the iPhone 17 Air battery’s thickness is expected to be around 6mm thick in its manufacturing. This caused concerns with the physical parameters of the iPhone in question owing to its thickness, not to mention other guesstimates of how thin the gadget would construct if Apple achieved its dream designs for the battery.

Now with regards to the history of Apple products, within the IPhone series, the slimmest IPhone, the IPhone 6 is at 6.9 mm while the bigger IPhone 6 plus is 7.1 mm, which is IPhone 6 plus. Encountering the same situation in Apple’s Slates, the 11-inch M4 Ipad pro is 5.4 mm tall, and the 13-inch Ipad Pro model follows closely at 5.1 mm thick. The quest for slimmimg down mobile electronic gadgets has not ceased, as it has always been a major contributing factor towards design improvement and the market revolution.
