In recent months, several credible sources have claimed that Apple plans to release a redesigned, significantly thinner iPhone 17 model next

A report says the iPhone 17 Air will share many specs with the other iPhone 17 models: Here's what you lose if you don't get the 17 Pro Max.

YouTuber Apple Track has posted renders of an iPhone 17 Air with a central camera module — based on rumors that first made their way online back in May. According to The Information, Apple would be moving the camera to the “top center” of the phone — away from the usual left-side camera placement that iPhones have employed since their beginning.

This rumor matches up with rumors from July 2024 that a 'Slim' iPhone would become the most premium model in the iPhone lineup. However, rumored specs up to this point indicate the iPhone 17 Air will feature lower-end specs compared to the Pro Max, so a higher price doesn't make the most sense.

The iPhone 17 range could introduce a redesigned iPhone with a thickness of just around 6mm, making it the thinnest iPhone ever. Here's what we know so far.

For context, the current iPhone 16 series ranges from 7.8mm to 8.25mm. To achieve this unprecedented slim profile, Apple is expected to adopt an aluminium chassis for the standard models in the iPhone 17 lineup, while reserving titanium for the Pro variants, ensuring both a lightweight build and premium design.

Based on a report by MacRumors, the iPhone 17 Slim could be just 6 mm thick, making it much thinner than the iPhone 6 and potentially the thinnest iPhone ever. The iPhone 6 measures 6.9 mm, so if the iPhone 17 Slim is indeed 6 mm, it would be 0.9 mm thinner. This suggests a significant redesign for the iPhone lineup.

A recent report has indicated Apple has found a way to reduce the iPhone 17 Air thickness to below the level of the iPhone 6.
