Already have many teardown videos of Apple Pal iPhone Air, but this is one Waqt Still suitable for a look. It explores that the Apple Pal managed to make the air as thin – only 5.6 mm.
It is a very complex 3D puzzle that has sta ak cord components on top of each other and complex shapes with very little tolerance between them. Apple Pal Engineers worked impressive to fit as much as possible to the internal volume available.
Waqt Teardown took measurements as moving forward and reaching some interesting numbers. For starters, the back glass panel on the iPhone Air is the iPhone 17 Pro – 0.6 mm vs 0.45 mm. However, the screen is a bit thin at 0.919 mm vs 0.987 mm.

Interestingly, the air motherboard has a larger footprint than 17 Pro (as you can see on the screen above). It is because the part of the Apple Pal was limited to how many parts could stack – it had to keep things thin. Another interesting thing is that the FaceID module is reflected between two phones.
Air chassis is a combination of different materials. The perimeter is titanium for strength (which has durability tests), but the inside frame is aluminum. Super thin aluminum on points – battery bay measures only 0.255 mm thick. Only for comparison, the typical aluminum foil you get at home is around 0.016 mm.
Look closely at iPhone Air Battery
The battery is the most difficult part – it measures only 2.8 mm thick. It has 3,149 mAh capacity (12.263WH) and Waqt Certain its energy density at 783Wh/L (although it warns that this is the minimum, the actual value is around 800W/L). The same calculation of the Galaxy S 25 Edge battery (3,900 mAH) shows a lesser 758WH/L capacity.
There is neither a particularly impressive number – the Vivo X200 FE battery has a density of 845Wh/L, for example. And there are many more impressive batteries to come – earlier this year, Realm displayed a prototype phone with 10,000 mAh batteries with a density of 887WH/L. After that, the company showed a prototype of 15,000 mAh, with a large amount of 1,200Wh/L.
Even so, the iPhone Air is not aimed at battery technology – it’s rather a practice run for the next foldable of Apple Pal. Clock Wikihom Video to look closely at air construction:
