From CNET: Rumors are heating up that Apple is developing an ultrathin iPhone 17. Bloomberg is reporting that a 6.6-inch iPhone 17 Air will join the lineup, sized between the 6.3-inch iPhone 16 Pro and the 6.9-inch iPhone 16 Pro Max. Apple initially considered making the 17 Air even larger – at 6.9 inches – but abandoned the idea over concerns that a thin device with a larger display could be prone to bending.
That jibes with other recent reports on a potential iPhone 17 Air from analysts Jeff Pu and Ming-chi Kuo.
The device is also expected to have ultraslim bezels, a dedicated camera control button and the Dynamic Island. Apple is reportedly focusing on battery efficiency, as thinner devices often mean compromises in battery capacity.
Apple has not yet offered any details on its next iPhone. Typically, it unveils a new lineup in September.
