"There have been several teardown videos of the Apple iPhone Air already, but this one from WekiHome is still worth a look. It explores how Apple managed to make the Air as thin as it is - just 5.6mm. It's a very complicated 3D puzzle with components stacked on top of each other and having complex shapes with very little tolerance between them. Apple engineers did an impressive amount of work to fit as much as possible in the internal volume available."
"WekiHome took measurements as the teardown progressed and arrived at some interesting numbers. For starters, the rear glass panel on the iPhone Air is thicker than that of the iPhone 17 Pro - 0.6mm vs. 0.45mm. However, the screen is a bit thinner at 0.919mm vs. 0.987mm. Interestingly, the Air motherboard has a bigger footprint than that of the 17 Pro (as you can see in the screen grab above)."
Measurements taken during teardown show the iPhone Air achieves a 5.6mm thickness by tightly stacking complex, irregular components with minimal tolerances. The rear glass panel measures 0.6mm, thicker than the iPhone 17 Pro's 0.45mm, while the screen is thinner at 0.919mm versus 0.987mm. The Air's motherboard has a larger footprint than the 17 Pro, and the FaceID module appears mirrored between models. The chassis uses titanium around the perimeter and an aluminum inner frame, with the battery bay as thin as 0.255mm. The battery measures 2.8mm, holds 3,149mAh (12.263Wh), and shows ~783–800Wh/L energy density.
