Igeekphone news on November 11, a blogger broke the news that Samsung and Apple plan to launch ultra-thin models next year, named Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim and iPhone 17 Air (may also be called iPhone 17 Slim).
The blogger said that Apple originally planned to use new materials and new technologies on the battery, in order to create a thinner, larger capacity battery, but due to the failure of the project, Apple abandoned the original set of iPhone 17 Air thickness and battery capacity.
He also said that because the battery technology has not been upgraded, the iPhone 17 Air will not be able to achieve about 6mm thickness, and the battery capacity will not be significantly improved.
Long before the iPhone 16 was released, the news of the iPhone 17 Air was exposed, and this new product will replace the Plus model, and the standard edition, Pro edition and Pro Max edition to form Apple’s new product matrix.
Previous Revelations show that the iPhone 17 Air is not only expected to usher in major changes in design, but also a comprehensive upgrade in many aspects such as performance, camera and modem.
The news also said that the iPhone 17 Air will support the ProMotion function, the refresh rate can reach 120Hz, bring users a more smooth visual experience, and is equipped with Apple’s self-developed 5G baseband, the camera will use the same 48 million pixel sensor as the iPhone 16. The front-facing camera will also be upgraded from 12 megapixels to 24 megapixels.
Judging from the latest Revelations, the thickness of the iPhone 17 Air will increase, which is undoubtedly a pity for consumers who pursue thin and light phones.
