On social media today, Apple leaker Majin Bu shared an image comparing the thickness of the iPhone 17 Air to the iPhone 17 Pro. In this photo, iPhone 17 Air looks wildly thin.

Of course, these are dummy models, but they roughly represent the dimensions of the real devices. Compared to iPhone 17 Pro, the iPhone 17 Air appears around half as thick.

iPhone 17 Air is expected to come in at just 5.5mm thick, whereas the iPhone 17 Pro is anticipated to be around 8.725mm thick. This is a slight increase from the iPhone 16 Pro at 8.25mm thick.

This image really puts into perspective how thin this new iPhone truly will be.

As a refresher, the iPhone 17 Air will debut later this year, being Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet. It’ll feature a single 48MP rear camera, a 6.6-inch display, Camera Control, and a single speaker. You can learn more about the iPhone 17 Air in our roundup.

Anker 25K Compact Battery Bank

Featuring two built in cables, a built in display, multiple ports, a 25,000mAh capacity, and up to 100W of output - this is one of the best battery banks for recharging your entire Apple ecosystem on the go.

AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C)

Despite a new version reportedly being around a corner, I still personally believe AirPods Pro 2 are a great deal. They're already equipped with USB-C, and continually gain new software features. With them consistently going on sale, it's a great purchase to make. Features like Adaptive Audio are incredible.
