iPhone 17 Air to be Thinnest iPhone, Surpassing iPhone 6

According to a new note, from Hong Kong-based investment bank Haitong recently noted that generally agrees with this rumor and goes on to say the new “iPhone 17 Air,” will be about 6mm thick compared to older versions. If this happened, it would push the iPhone into record-thin territory, beating the current slimmest title holder — 6.9mm from the side of an iPhone 6.

iPhone 17 Air

iPhone 17 Air Could Be Apple’s Thinnest iPhone Yet at 6mm, Launch Expected in 2025

If these reports are correct, the iPhone 17 Air would also be much thicker than the standard and Pro models of the iPhone 16, which is 7.8mm (standard) and 8.25mm (Pro and Pro Max). Though some may have wished for a smaller device, there are limitations to how small the battery and parts can shrink. At 6mm, the iPhone 17 Air would still be impressively light and slim compared to recent iPhones.

For comparison, previous iPhone models like the iPhone 6 held the title of the thinnest at 6.9mm, while the iPhone 7 was slightly thicker at 7.1mm. Devices such as the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the iPhone 13 Pro Max are measured at around 7.4mm to 7.65mm thick, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max is around 8.25mm.  The iPhone 17 Air would be Apple’s thinnest iPhone, but not the company’s thinnest product. Measuring just 5.1mm thick, the record-holder is the 13-inch 2024 iPad Pro, which has now become just ahead of its closest competitor: the last iPod Nano at a thickness of 5.4mm.

There have been multiple reports regarding the design and specifications of the iPhone 17 Air, as it may include a single 48MP rear camera along with a 24MP front-facing camera coupled to a large 6.6-inch display. The phone will reportedly carry an A19 chip by Apple, as well as up to 8GB of RAM and Face ID within an aluminum case. These details could change as we get closer to the device’s eventual September 2025 launch.

FAQs

When will the iPhone 17 Air be released?

The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be unveiled in September 2025.

How thick will the iPhone 17 Air be?

The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to be just 6mm thick, making it the thinnest iPhone ever.

OnePlus V Flip: First Clamshell Foldable Expected in 2025

OnePlus V Flip: First Clamshell Foldable Expected in 2025

With the launch of clamshell foldable phones, OnePlus is said to be working on entering it, although its first clamshell foldable phone presumably called the OnePlus V Flip, and expected sometime in Q2 2025. It will be OnePlus’s second foldable after its first-gen foldable, the unique OnePlus Open that was launched recently and this is likely to have a competing phone in the market with other makers of foldables like Samsung or Oppo as well.

OnePlus V Flip

OnePlus to Launch Flip Phone in Q2 2025, Expanding Its Foldable Portfolio

Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station first shared the rumor about the OnePlus V Flip along with the expected launch timeframe, fueling discussions among tech enthusiasts. But besides a launch window, we don’t know anything else specific about the phone. Details on its design, features, and specifications are included as well, but many remain unanswered. It was also rumored that the OnePlus V Flip is basically a rebadged Oppo Find N5 Flip.

This expectation was bolstered by reports of potential technology and component sharing between the two brands. This made it seem like the potential OnePlus V Flip would be based on the Oppo Find N5 flip apart from Find N and Find N2, but Oppo has now canceled the Find N5 flip, so this may not be as conclusive as thought. That said, details of OnePlus’s specific foldable plan are now unclear.

However, the OnePlus V Flip will be likely to sport a design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series as a compact clamshell smartphone. The phone will most definitely bring some premium materials for durability, especially on the hinge which is an essential part of any foldable device. In terms of performance, it is likely to be offered with a flagship-grade chipset and this should mean that the new Pixel smartphones would have smooth multi-tasking and fast performance. For storage, it will presumably now be getting tons of RAM to handle the demanding apps and processes.

Moreover, similar to the OnePlus Open, the OnePlus V Flip could also be equipped with a multi-camera setup consisting of multiple lenses for photography. Although not much is known about details yet, the OnePlus V Flip would potentially be a solid rival in the foldable segment and could give users a slick and powerful option if they want something smaller that folds.

FAQs

When will the OnePlus V Flip be launched?

The OnePlus V Flip is expected to be launched in the second quarter of 2025.

Will the OnePlus V Flip be similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip?

Yes, it is expected to have a design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, with high-quality materials and a durable hinge.

Rishabh Pant Hints Rift with DC Before IPL 2025 Auction

Rishabh Pant: The cricketing world is abuzz with speculation after Rishabh Pant, one of the IPL’s most dynamic players, hinted at a potential fallout with the Delhi Capitals (DC) management ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Pant’s recent comments and DC’s overhaul of its leadership and roster have raised questions about the franchise’s direction and the reasons behind parting ways with their long time wicketkeeper batter and captain.

Rishabh Pant Hints at Rift with Delhi Capitals Ahead of IPL 2025 Auction: What Really Happened?

Rishabh Pant Addresses His Release: “It Wasn’t About the Money”

Pant, who has been a cornerstone for Delhi Capitals since 2016, took to X (formerly Twitter) to address rumors surrounding his release. While it was initially speculated that his high retention fee demand led to his exit, Pant clarified, “My retention wasn’t about the money for sure, that I can say.”

This statement has left fans speculating whether deeper issues between Pant and DC’s management influenced the decision. The situation remains murky, with neither Pant nor the franchise providing detailed explanations.

Delhi Capitals Overhaul Ahead of IPL 2025

Ahead of the 18th edition of the IPL, Delhi Capitals underwent significant changes:

  1. Leadership Shift: The men’s team will now be managed by the GMR Group until 2026, while co-owner JSW Group focuses on the Women’s Premier League (WPL).
  2. Coaching and Management Changes:
    • Ricky Ponting was replaced by Hemang Badani as head coach.
    • Venugopal Rao succeeded Sourav Ganguly as DC’s Director of Cricket.
  3. New Retention Strategy: DC retained four players with a purse of ₹76.25 crore remaining for the mega auction.

Delhi Capitals IPL 2025 Retention List

PlayerRetention Fee
Axar Patel₹16.50 crore
Kuldeep Yadav₹13.25 crore
Tristan Stubbs₹10 crore
Abhishek Porel (uncapped)₹4 crore

This retention strategy suggests a shift in DC’s focus toward rebuilding a balanced and cost-effective squad, possibly signaling their intent to start afresh after an underwhelming IPL 2024 campaign.

Pant vs DC: What Went Wrong?

Several factors point to a strained relationship between Pant and DC management:

  • Social Media Stir: Pant reportedly posted a midnight tweet asking fans to speculate his potential auction price. This could have irked the management, viewing it as unprofessional amidst retention talks.
  • Strategic Reset: The decision to let go of a marquee player and captain hints at DC’s desire for a fresh start, possibly driven by internal dynamics or performance evaluations.
  • Management Reshuffle: With new leadership and coaching personnel, DC might have chosen to part ways with Pant as part of their larger restructuring plans.

What’s Next for Rishabh Pant?

Pant’s release places him among the most sought-after players for the IPL 2025 auction. Franchises will be eager to bid for his explosive batting and captaincy potential. His availability also opens up opportunities for him to forge a new chapter with a team that aligns with his ambitions.

DC’s Strategy for IPL 2025

With ₹76.25 crore in their auction purse and the option to use the Right-to-Match (RTM) card for two players, Delhi Capitals are well-positioned to build a formidable squad. The big question remains: will they attempt to bring Pant back at the auction or focus entirely on new prospects?

Rishabh Pant’s departure marks a significant moment for Delhi Capitals as they head into a new era. For Pant, it’s a chance to rejuvenate his IPL career with a fresh start. While fans eagerly await clarity on the matter, one thing is certain, IPL 2025 is shaping up to be an electrifying season, with Pant’s next move being one of its most intriguing storylines.
