If you woke up this morning lamenting the thickness of your iPhone, then boy do we have some (potentially) good news for you. Fresh reports suggest Apple is set to introduce a dramatically slim new iPhone model that could redefine smartphone design expectations.
According to respected industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the upcoming iPhone 17 Air, to give it its rumoured name – which looks set to replace the current Plus variant in Apple's smartphone line-up – could measure just 5.5mm at its thinnest point. This would make it significantly slimmer than the current roster of iPhones, and approaching the svelte dimensions of Apple's 5.1mm iPad Pro M4.
