Stop with the nonsense: iPhone 17 Air doesn’t have to be thinner than an iPhone 6
I'm an iPhone 16 Plus user who has been loving the upgrade from my old iPhone 14 Pro. The screen size is just what I needed... but the extra bulk isn't. I've gotten used to it, but I'm still not happy with the size and thickness of the iPhone 16 Plus, especially once you put it in a case. I can't wait to ditch this thing for the size issues alone.
It's not just about one-handed use. Carrying the iPhone 16 Plus in pants pockets can be uncomfortable. That's an even more difficult adjustment for someone who has been using 6.1-inch iPhones until now.
I made no secret that the iPhone I really want is the ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air that Apple is supposedly developing for next year. That handset should feature a screen that's about as large as the iPhone 16 Plus, but with a much thinner body.
How thin? Well, that's still a secret. However, a report from Korea said a few days ago that Apple is struggling with certain limitations that are making it impossible for the iPhone 17 Air to be the super slim phone some people might want. Samsung, which wants to make a Galaxy S25 Slim alternative to the iPhone 17 Air, is facing similar problems.
But I don't even want the iPhone 17 Air to become the thinnest iPhone in Apple's lineup. I've seen several people complaining on social media sites about how the iPhone 17 Air shouldn't be called "Air" unless it's the thinnest iPhone ever. That would mean it needs to be thinner than the iPhone 6, but I think that's nonsense. I'd be happy with a thickness of around 7.1 mm, which would match the iPhone 6s.
