The race to create the slimmest smartphone is heating up, with potential contenders pushing the boundaries of what’s physically possible. Recent information indicates Apple may be targeting the title with its anticipated iPhone 17 Air model. This comes on the heels of Tecno’s unveiling of its concept Spark Slim, which initially claimed the potential crown.A leaked dummy model of the iPhone 17 Air is circulating that suggests a thickness of 5.44mm. This measurement, while impressive, is only one piece of the puzzle. Tecno’s Spark Slim, for comparison, measures 5.75mm. However, the camera configuration plays a significant role in overall dimensions.
The pursuit of thinness often involves trade-offs. For the iPhone 17 Air, this could mean a smaller battery, potentially around 3,000 mAh. This could impact the device’s longevity between charges. The device is expected to have a display resolution of 1260 x 2740 pixels, with a 120Hz refresh rate, and fall within the 6.5 to 6.7-inch screen size range.
