iPhone 17 Air still impossibly thin in a case, video shows

The rumored iPhone 17 Air favors a futuristic design over a thicker and heavier look with more battery. But if everyone just throws their phone in a case, won’t the aesthetic be lost? Maybe not, according to this iPhone 17 Air case test video. The clip shared on social media shows iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Air dummy units side-by-side. Then the iPhone 17 Air mockup is placed inside what resembles a version of Apple’s Beats iPhone case designed for the thinner phone with the full width camera bar design. At a glance, the iPhone 17 Air inside a case may still appear thinner than the iPhone 17 Pro Max without a case. We’re working with a lot of assumptions here, of course, since we’re eyeballing unannounced iPhone model dummy units. Still, if Apple delivers hardware that reflects these rumors, the iPhone 17 Air will certainly be worthy of the “Air” name.
