The “iPhone 17 Air” is credited increasingly often with starting a new ultra-slim smartphone trend, despite being a mere rumor at the time of writing. Redmi could be next to try and break into it, according to the latest leaks. Xiaomi’s popular sub-brand might need precision engineering to do so, though. <\/p>\n

The\u00a0“17 Air<\/a>” is yet again backed to be under 6 millimeters<\/a> (mm) in depth in its latest leak, a post that has prompted Redmi’s general manager Wang Teng Thomas to express enthusiasm for the release of such an iPhone, declaring that the industry could “learn a lot” from its existence. <\/p>\n

The executive’s new Weibo post<\/a> is now being seized on<\/a> as a strong hint that Redmi<\/a> might launch an ultra-thin challenger of its own, following the successful release of its own iPad Mini clone in the 6.5mm thick K Pad.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Should the Xiaomi subsidiary do so, it might need to employ Apple’s alleged new milling process that apparently pares the 17 Air’s mid-frame<\/a> from both sides to achieve the desired thickness in order to make its own super-slim smartphone. <\/p>\n

It is to be hoped that Redmi<\/a> could fit a larger battery<\/a> into the resulting shape nonetheless, having mastered cutting-edge silicon-carbon technology to produce handsets such as the Turbo 4 Pro<\/a>, not to mention the new 15 5G<\/a>, in 2025. <\/p>\n
