2025 should be marked by the big comeback of ultra-thin smartphones with the iPhone 17 Air and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, both expected later this year.
The YouTube channel Unbox Therapy has published a video presenting a mock-up of the iPhone 17 Air, which allows you to better appreciate its supposed dimensions. A mock-up is a version of a device that cannot be turned on, but is supposed to reproduce its dimensions, and even approach the final weight of the product. And it goes without saying that on a smartphone like the iPhone 17 Air, dimensions are undoubtedly a crucial element.
A thinness of 5.65mm
The thinness of the future iPhone 17 Air has been the subject of debate for several months, but the Chinese suppliers of the YouTube channel are counting on a smartphone with a thickness of 5.65mm, excluding the camera block. For comparison, the basic iPhone 17 would measure 7.96mm and the Pro Max 8.75mm.
As the YouTuber mentions, if Apple does indeed manage to Releasing such a thin product will inevitably create a "wow" effect on potential buyers, as such a thin smartphone seems almost unreal.
Once the shock has passed, many questions arise. How resistant will such a device be? The question of bend resistance arises in particular, reminding the oldest among us of the famous "Bendgate" scandal. of the iPhone 6 in 2014, marketed with a major resistance defect.
What about its autonomy? Certainly, the progress of batteries with technologies like carbon silicon allows us to imagine a smartphone with a decent capacity, but autonomy also depends enormously on the device's cooling system, capacity will not be the only challenge to overcome for this iPhone 17 Air.
