An account named “yeux1122” claims the iPhone Air 2 will be approximately 0.4mm thinner than the current iPhone Air despite carrying a higher-capacity battery, which would put the successor at about 5.2mm thick — the same thickness as the iPhone Duo when unfolded.
Apple lists the original iPhone Air at 5.6mm thick, so a 0.4mm reduction would represent roughly a 7% decrease in thickness.
