Later this year, Apple is expected to mix up its smartphone lineup yet again with a new slim iPhone 17 Air rumored to be replacing the underperforming Plus handset (which itself replaced the poorly selling mini phone).
To be the thinnest iPhone ever, it needs to be slimmer than the 6.9mm iPhone 6, and most recent rumors have suggested it’ll be around the 6mm mark. But despite reports that this search for thinness was causing Apple design problems, the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted that the upcoming handset will be even thinner than that.
