iPhone 17 Air Hands-On Reveals Mind-Blowing Thinness: The Future Is Here, And It's Shockingly Slim

“That feels futuristic” — those three words barely scratch the surface of what might be Apple’s most revolutionary iPhone design since the original.

BREAKING: Unbox Therapy Reveals What We’ve All Been Waiting For

The tech world is buzzing after Unbox Therapy dropped a jaw-dropping video that has Apple fans everywhere reaching for their wallets. While the video showcases the entire iPhone 17 lineup, one model instantly stole the spotlight and left everything else in the dust: the iPhone 17 Air.

In what can only be described as a “you-have-to-see-it-to-believe-it” moment, Lewis George Hilsenteger (“Lew”) appears genuinely awestruck when handling the ultra-thin device. His reaction speaks volumes about what Apple has achieved with this engineering marvel.

“IS THIS EVEN REAL?”: The Thinness That Defies Logic

Upon first touch, Lew immediately declares, “That feels futuristic” — a statement that seems to surprise even the veteran tech reviewer himself. The sheer disbelief is written across his face as he examines the device from every angle, raising immediate (and perhaps valid) concerns about potential bending issues.

In a dramatic on-camera measurement, Lew confirms what our eyes can barely process: the iPhone 17 Air measures an astonishing 5.65mm at its thinnest point. For perspective, that’s down from a substantial 8.75mm on the iPhone 17 Pro Max model he compares it against.

His visceral reaction tells the whole story: “It feels like half. It’s not half, but it feels like half.”

GAME OVER For Other iPhone Models?

In perhaps the most telling commentary of all, Lew makes a prediction that should send shivers down the spines of Apple’s product marketing team: once consumers experience the iPhone 17 Air in person, they simply won’t consider buying any other iPhone model.

The implications are clear: Apple may have created a product so compelling that it cannibalizes its own premium lineup.

What’s Your Take?

Be sure to check out the full video above for Lew’s complete, unfiltered reactions to what might be the most important iPhone redesign in years.
