The iPhone air can lead to a high phone collapse

The largest advertisement comes out of IPhone 17 ‘ Earlier this week was not about The most powerful iPhone so far – It was for a thinner. In 5.6 mm, or less than a quarter of an inch, iPhone Air Stole the offer. Although it was far from the first “thin phone”, this trend may start significantly in the coming years.

There is a long -term feeling in the manufacture of mobile devices about the effect of the Apple on the trends of the phone: once the iPhone maker selects a strong design, track other companies. This was true in 2007 when the company first appeared The original iPhone (Others followed the front touch screen screen design), it is true when the iPad appeared for the first time to encourage the coordination of the tablet and it was unfortunately true when getting rid of the headphone socket.

So the big question is: Will it make iPhone air thin phones? Most likely, no KNET technology correspondent, Abrar Al -Hiti, who was on the ground at the Apple headquarters for the launch event and got my work time with the new, said, iPhone skinny. But now, the delicate phone status is strengthened by a brand with some of the most loyal fans.

Al -Haiti said: “Do not necessarily put Apple with Aphone Air, because many phone manufacturers have already developed thin phones,” Al -Haiti said. “But it may have begun in the shape factor between people who wanted a thin phone and divided into Apple products.”

There are some reasons that Apple will make iphone. The most obvious: the company believes that consumers want one. It will not be alone in this thinking, as Samsung appeared for the first time Galaxy S25 Edge Earlier this year. We are still waiting for the official sales to fall to see if buyers are keen to choose a 5.8 mm phone on S25 S25 sisters with a capacity of 7.2 mm. The leaked information indicates that sales were disappointing, according to IPatBut Al -Gitty found that “I used to its lightweight delicate design with any other phone that looks like a cloud.”

The iPhone Air is the largest design for iPhone at some point, based on Cutaways for the X -ray of the new device during the launch event, Apple made some technical magicians in craming all chips and devices at the top of the phone to achieve its 5.6 mm profile. Aesthetically, it is a new page in the company’s products book, and it is a way for Apple to attract another group of customers.

“The iPhone Air is the thinnest Apple phone ever and has the most daring design since iPhone X,” said Bobal. “It will attract users who love Leek aesthetics, while the professional assortment takes the crown for the majority of users a priority to the battery and camera performance.”

Analysts who spoke to them agreed that the iPhone Air serves a few purposes, than the iPhone 16 Plus replacement with a more installment in the Apple collection to work as a starting company for the startup technology (such as its internal C1X modem). But they also pushed the idea that iPhone will open the gates for insomnia phones.

“I think we knew that thin and light phones will come regardless of Apple’s launch,” said Ancel Sag, the lead analyst at Moor Insights and Strategy.

What role does iPhone Air play?

To date, both Air iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 have been moved in the middle of the squad, providing aesthetic option that had slight promotions on slight specifications on Standard iPhone 17 And Galaxy S25 siblings, respectively. They are developments in the middle of more than more, and may arrive in a timely manner in many other innovations.

David Narrango, assistant director in favor of Counterpoint, said that the iPhone generation is no less than providing penetration specifications and more than that about rearranging price ranges intelligently and distinguishing design differences in each layer.

“The iPhone Air is the wild card-if it echo, the Apple expands the distinctive medium and raises the margin mix without the need for a camera in support of the category across the painting,” said Narrango.

This 48 -megapixel individual camera at the back of the Aphone Air is the largest clear deficiency. (We will wait for our full review to find out how other factors such as battery life and performance measurement.) At $ 999 to start, it contains a similar single camera setting like $ 599 dollars iPhone 16e. Even Galaxy S25 Edge managed to keep a Ultrawide rear camera. It is clear that there is a price to pay for departure.

“I only think that this first generation of thin phones really offers many settlements, whether it is on the battery capacity or the composition of the camera, which I hope will be solved over time,” Sash said. “As we saw on the folds.”

SAG is absent that the air will sell it exceptionally well, and it is believed that its camera and battery capabilities will improve over time. In some respects, the first generation device remains, and the air devices in the subsequent years may be able to cram more in more cameras and battery capacity.

Apple refers to the same design restrictions as other phone makers who tried to make thin devices in the past, and referred to Avi Greengart, the president and main analyst at Techsponteial. Refer Motorola Moto G This was launched in 2016, which was 5.2 mm thick from its own accord, but he needed the broken magnetic battery supplement to the back that added the largest part: “Without this supplement, Moto Z was very dangerous, and he did not sell well,” said Grengart.

The battery life was the main concern of thin phones. Loss of space inside the phone means that something should give it, and it is assumed that it was a battery capacity. Although they have the same size screen, Galaxy S25 Plus It contains a 4900 mAh battery, while it is 3900 mAh per hour 3900 mAh. For its part, Apple does not share details about the capacity. But during the iPhone 17 launch event, the company promised to be the iPhone AIR might have a battery life throughout the day … then immediately presented the Magsafe charging package. This laughed at the audience’s journalism.

Whether it is sold iPhone Air in large sizes or not, it opens opportunities for Apple – not only for a new sub -group for the customer, but for anything you might work on Apple. Popal from IDC explicitly pointed out that the design of the insomnia phone aims to “the road to the IPHONE foldable perhaps next year.” she Not alone in thinking like this.

“I think a lot of these fine phones are a much more geometric exercise to enable better fold,” said SAG.

Does iPhone air put the basis for iPhone?

According to what Apple works on the iPhone, it is sometimes referred to as the name iPhone FlipSince it is likely to be before the Covid-19 web in 2020. While the first foldable phones first appeared from Samsung and Motorola, it was in approximate condition, but the subsequent repetitions over the years increased its durability and advantages. While leaks and rumors indicate that Apple is working to equip its special folding devices, some of these early reports claim the inability to reduce wrinkles on the screen, as it is late for its release.

Aside the screen technology, it seems that the iPhone air looks like a starting point for the iPhone, which is rumored to be a foldable coating such as Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7. Transfer most devices to the upper half of the new iPhone is something that seems to be a popular way for companies to clarify the interior in their rituals of their students – see just see if if if it’s first Z Flip 6 TeardownWhere the lower half of the device is basically just the largest battery package (a smaller package is paired with chips and most devices in the upper half).

It is also important to get iPhone to 5.6 mm important to ensure that the folded iPhone is not very huge. The folds of the books that were released this year were thinner of any time Oppo Find N5 It is almost identical at 8.93 mm at folding (or 4.21 mm at the open flat). Even Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is not thicker at 10.8 mm when folded closed (or 5.2 mm at detection).

Thus, Apple has a good reason to give up its iPhone thickness, even if sales are not launched for this first generation of Aphone Air. But besides creating a marketable product from the features of research and development, it is also an experience, of some kind, to see if consumers will be attached sufficiently due to thinness alone.

“Apple is betting that the advanced materials, ESIM and the most efficient silicone can now try the smartphone well enough to allow emotional decisions to consumers to control,” said Grengart from Techsponiential. “High -density phones like iPhone Air and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge looks very nice.
