Will Apple's upcoming ultra-thin iPhone bring success or a lesson for life?
According to the latest rumors, Apple's "iPhone 17 Slim" (iPhone 17 Air) will be just 5mm thin.
Meanwhile, experts believe that Apple can create an iPhone that is just 6mm thick, thin enough to win the title of thinnest iPhone in h
istory and thin enough to be the thinnest phone in 2025 - even thinner than Android smartphones.
Apple's "iPhone 17 Slim" (iPhone 17 Air) could be as thin as 5mm.

But while the iPhone 17 series is still a long way off, there's a super-slim A
00 — and it's styled similarly to the iPhone Slim.
The secret behind Apple's incredibly thin "iPhone Slim"
This super-slim Android phone is called the Honor X8b... and was releas
ed a year ago (December 2023). And this could be the design that Apple's "iPhone 17 Slim" is trying to achieve.
The super-slim Android phone is called the Honor X8b, and is just 6.8mm thick.

The super-slim Android phone is called the Honor X8b, and is just 6.8mm thick.
Unlike the iPhone Slim (which is rumored to cost at least $1,000), the Hon
or X8b is much cheaper, equipped with a 6.7-inch screen and a 4,500 mAh battery in a 166g, 6.8mm thick body.
In other words, if you're looking for a super-slim phone with a big screen and a big battery, the budget Honor X8b is the way to go.
Where will the iPhone Slim go?
In reality, iPhone users won't rush out to buy a cheap Android phone just because it's "super thin." But the real question is... ''Will they rush out to buy a super thin iPhone?''
First, not many people were excited about Apple stripping away a bunch of pro features to create the thinnest iPhone ever.
Latest rumors suggest the iPhone Slim could:
- Remove sim card tray (globally)
- Equipped with only one rear camera
- Comes with small battery
- Has single speaker
This is a major downgrade from the iPhone 16 Pro Max or iPhone 17 Pro Max - which launched at the same time as the iPhone 17 Slim.
Along with that, this "super product" will have to compete with lighter phones that are easy to hold and put in your pocket. Especially products like the iPhone 13 mini and Pixel 9 Pro Fold - two devices that are completely opposite in terms of weight and overall size.
Could the "iPhone Slim" be Apple's failed product?
According to initial rumors, the iPhone Slim will be a basic iPhone model, without dual speakers and even only a single rear camera, which is hard to accept given the price it has.
On the other hand, "Apple" is just doing what the company wants, regardless of the practical wishes of the majority of consumers.
Apple's "iPhone 17 Slim" (iPhone 17 Air) could be as thin as 5mm.
The Honor X8b is incredibly low-priced, ultra-thin, and has a huge battery.
In fact, many experts do not believe the rumor of "iPhone Slim 5mm thin". Even if the company achieves this goal, the product may not bring the real-life experience as good as expected.
