Engadget: “Everything Apple revealed at the iPhone 17 launch event”

As expected, Apple announced a new member of the iPhone family during the event. The iPhone Air is the thinnest iPhone yet, measuring just 5.6mm thick, and made of spacecraft-grade titanium. Ceramic Shield 2 surrounds the iPhone Air on both sides, which helps make it more durable than any previous iPhone. The Air’s always-on screen measures 6.5-inches, and it supports ProMotion and up to 3,000 nits of brightness.

Not sure how you can get away with claiming this as the thinnest iPhone yet when its upper quarter is thicker than many past iPhones. No longer the inconspicuous camera bump from 10 years ago, this is a full-blown bulge, with a camera bump on top.
