iPhone Air teardown video focuses on how thin the components are | Infinium-tech
There are already many torn videos of Apple iPhone Air, but it is one Wakehom Still worth a look. It shows how apple managed to make the air as thin as it is – just 5.6 mm.
It is a very complex 3D puzzle with complex shapes with vertical components above each other and very low tolerance between them. Apple Engineers worked in an impressive amount to fit as much as possible in the available internal volume.
Wakehom The measured in the form of tear and reached some interesting numbers. For the beginning, the iPhone is thicker than the rear glass panel iPhone 17 Pro – 0.6mm vs. 0.45 mm. However, the screen is slightly thin at 0.919 mm vs. 0.987 mm.

Interestingly, the air motherboard has a larger footprint than 17 Pro (as you can see in the screen grabbing above). This is because there was a limit to how much apple can pile up the components – it had to keep things thin. The other interesting tidbit is that the faceid module seems to be shown between two phones.
The air chassis is a mixture of different materials. The circumference is the titanium for strength (which is out in durability tests), but the inner frame is aluminum. Super thin aluminum at points – battery bay measures only 0.255 mm thick. Just for comparison, the specific aluminum foil you get at home is about 0.016 mm.
Take a close look at the iPhone air battery
The battery is the most difficult part – it measures only 2.8 mm thick. It has 3,149mAh capacity (12.263Wh) and Wakehom Its energy density was calculated at 783Wh/L (although it warns that it is minimal, the actual value is likely to be around 800Wh/L). The Galaxy S25 Edge Battery (3,900mAh) shows a uniform calculation less 758Wh/L capacity.
Neither is a particularly impressive number – for example, the Vivo X200 Fe Battery has 845Wh/L density. And there are much more impressive batteries to come – earlier this year, Realme showed a prototype phone with a 10,000mAh battery, which had 887Wh/L density. Then, the company showed the 15,000mAh prototype with 1,200Wh/L.
Anyway, the iPhone Air aims to not further increase the battery technology – it is a practice for the upcoming foldable of Apple instead. Watch Vicious Video to watch closer on air building:
