Different sensor and lens setup.Tell whoever made this render that if they can make a camera as thin as the iPad Pros camera, the iPhone 17 air is going to use that same one.
Why have they made the phone camera so much bigger than the iPads?

Lots of people. I’d love an ultra-thin phone. (To be clear, I probably won’t get it as the camera is the most important part of the phone for me, but it’s going to be tough).Who’s exactly asked for this?

Apple is struggling to innovate iPhone design at this point. They tried the Mini, with little success. Then they tried the Plus, clearly with little success too(I don’t know why, TBH… with a ProMotion display I would have choose the Plus over my Pro Max for sure). Now they are trying the “thinner” way.
A 5.5 mm iPhone is something I’d like to see, but very scaring considering how “bendgate” developed at the time.

Indeed. iPhone 16 could have been a “perfect” iPhone , with a ProMotion display. But Apple was scared to make a product too good and affect Pro line sales.A smart observation
They really seem to be out of ideas here and just throwing every variation at the wall to see if anything sticks
I wish they'd at least get ProMotion across the line already .. I think it's time now in 2025 to have that just be "the screen tech they use"
Yep, they are desparately trying to keep their revenue sky high and are seriously lagging behind competition.Indeed. iPhone 16 could have been a “perfect” iPhone , with a ProMotion display. But Apple was scared to make a product too good and affect Pro line sales.
I don’t think they are lagging behind no one at this moment. iPhone still is generally the best product. But surely they are trying to diversify their offer without a clear plan.Yep, they are desparately trying to keep their revenue sky high and are seriously lagging behind competition.
What saves them, at least for now - brands prestige and loyalists locked into their ecosystem.
Thats all there is to Apple broadly speaking and they know it.
gonna be fine if it's as rigid as the m4 ipad pro. admittedly, mine did bend, but only a little after i sat on itHow will such a thin, wide, and tall device fair in your pocket without a case? 🤔
Some people still want the mini and are going to keep asking for it. Maybe the repeated requests should have been a huge hint for you. Perhaps it’s high time you move on and learn to just read past them, though it is fun to see you continually fuss about them, so it is win/win, either way.I have to say thank you for sliding the Mini into this thread, so I didn't have to wait long. I knew it was coming. As a matter of fact, we all did. This article is about how thin the iPhone Air might be, it's not about the screen size. The articles title should have been a huge hint for you. The Mini isn't coming back. It's high time you all move on.
Thicker = more materials = lesser profit margin.Why the obsession for thinner?
How about getting rid of the ugly camera bump on all the phones and make them a few millimeters thicker.
if it gets any thinner it will give us paper cuts
they should make the back flush with the camera bump and give us another day of battery life

Maybe they are using this phone as a test bed to see how well the thinness holds up before making the iPhone Flip?Why the obsession for thinner?

Why just a test and not an actual foldable iPhone already?Maybe they are using this phone as a test bed to see how well the thinness holds up before making the iPhone Flip?
