Super thin design - product shaping factor
The most prominent highlight of the iPhone 17 Air is its thickness of only 5.6mm, making it the thinnest iPhone ever. Compared to the iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max 8.25mm thick or the 17 Max version (or Ultra) which can be up to 8.75mm thick, the iPhone 17 Air brings a light feeling of the trap when held in hand.
Experience shows that the technical specifications cannot fully describe the feeling of holding a hand. That is clearly demonstrated by recent hand-held product introduction videos. With an impressive super-thin design, the iPhone 17 Air will likely make users shift from the feeling of " seeing it is good" to the determination of "must own it".
6.6-inch screen - new "reversal" size
The iPhone 17 Air will be the first model to have a 6.6-inch screen - located between the two sizes of 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches of the current Pro line. This size is considered ideal, large enough for comfortable display but not too big enough to require continuous use of both hands.
For those who prefer a compact iPhone because of the convenience of using one hand, the thence of the iPhone 17 Air can help neutralize the bulky feeling of a large screen.
A feeling for a new future
Although Apple upgrades the camera and features every year, many people think that the iPhone design is gradually becoming boring, similar to the period before the launch of the iPhone X in 2017.
The iPhone 17 Air is considered a new breakthrough, bringing a modern, trendy feeling and "belonging to the future". Although it does not have a camera or a battery as powerful as the Pro series, the innovative feeling that iPhone 17 Air brings can be enough to convince a large number of users.
