iPhone 17 Air's Production Woes: Will Apple Overcome the Thickness Dilemma?
iPhone 17 Air's Specification Dilemma
Rumors suggest that Apple is developing a next-gen device called iPhone 17 Air, aiming for an incredibly thin profile. However, reports indicate that Apple may be hitting production challenges in achieving the desired thickness.
Battery Size: The Culprit
According to industry insiders, a 6mm-thick battery is essential for the iPhone 17 Air, which constrains the overall thickness of the device. The latest estimates suggest that incorporating other necessary components may result in a thickness of at least a few tenths of an inch beyond that. The current thinnest model, the iPhone 6, measured only 6.9mm, indicating that, if the rumors hold, the new device might not be significantly thinner.
- Some experts urge skepticism regarding the validity of early rumors.
- There is widespread discussion about consumer expectations for a drastically thinner iPhone model.
Market Reactions
As speculation circulates, potential buyers are left wondering if the iPhone 17 Air will meet the hype or leave them underwhelmed with its slimness, should it ultimately launch.
