Apple has one goal: Make everything thinner. He tried (and succeeded) with an iPad Pro, he’ll try with an iPhone 17, but here it is The goal seems quite difficult Not because of the product’s will or engineering, but because of technical issues that prevented us from doing something very subtle without meeting market expectations.
The subject is discussed on a number of American websites citing Asian sources whose reliability cannot be precisely verified but which touch upon aspects that are difficult to question.
Jeux1122 covers this topic, and the company has been proven right by other leaks, Apple originally planned to launch iPhone 17 (The name may be Slim or according to other names Air) Only six millimeters thick.
This goal is currently out of reach, as the promise of batteries using new substrates (components that hold the oxide that serves as the battery’s cathode fixed) to deliver the same performance as existing batteries will not diminish. Other issues also have an impact Connected Materials and technologies that are not yet widely available or are prohibitively expensive.
It’s probably ultimately“iPhone 6 is the thinnest iPhone ever, measuring 6.9mm thick (The thickness is amazing, but it also produces the famous curved door) cwill continue to keep records Next year too.
Regardless, Jeux1122 says the problem isn’t just Apple’s. Samsung is also facing the same situation. It appears to South Koreans that a thin iPhone competitor, the Sansung 25SE, will be launched, and that the smartphone will also be thicker than expected due to a lack of components on the market required to reduce its thickness.
