iPhone 17 Air might not be as thin as we hoped

The main issue appears to be the cost of creating a new battery, which will use a thinner substrate, and the technical compromises Apple has to make to deliver a razor-thin iPhone. Formerly TechRadar’s Gaming Hardware Editor, Adam has also worked at Nintendo of Europe as a Content Marketing Editor, where he helped launch the Nintendo Switch.
