- A practical video shows how a fictitious air unit from iPhone 17 compares with other iPhone 17 models
- The iPhone 17 air is substantially thinner than the rest of the iPhone 17 series
- It is so thin that there are concerns that I could easily bend
The iPhone 17 air will be thin, that is almost evident, but a new practical video with a fictitious unit perhaps provides our best sense of how thin.
UNBOX Therapy (through 9to5Mac) has shared a video in which they compare what is said to be a fictitious air unit of the iPhone 17 with those of the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and it is fair to say that they are impressed by how thin the air is.
They say that with its 5.65 mm thickness it feels “futuristic” and makes the iPhone 17 pro max (which is rumored is 163.04 x 77.59 x 8.75 mm) feel “outdated” compared.
This fictitious air unit of the iPhone 17 is also much thinner than the fictitious unit of the iPhone of 149.62 x 71.46 x 7.96 mm they have.
In general, they seem seriously impressed, which suggests that it is so thin that most people will not care about any commitment, as according to the reports, there is only one rear camera, once they feel it in their hands.

Flexion and drum flexions
However, the phone is so thin, it also leaves them with concerns, with unbox therapy pointing out that flexion could be a concern. They joke that you should not put it in your rear pocket and say “I just don’t know how they will do it strong enough.”
Since Apple has already ‘bless’ with the iPhone 6, we would think that making the iPhone 17 put on pressure would be a priority for the company. So I hope it will not be easily folded, but it will be interesting to see if Apple achieves and how it achieves.
Unbox Therapy also pointed out that “if this is not doubled by half only for you, then the battery life will be the next problem,” and added that “this will have a horrible duration of the battery” due to how thin it is.
We are a little less concerned about that, since it is rumored than the air of the iPhone 17 uses a high density battery, so it is possible that it does not need so much space for a decent capacity. Even so, there are probably limits for what Apple can handle there. But if most people are as captivated by the thinness of the phone as it seems to be UNBOX therapy, they could endure almost any problem resulting from their design.
