Get out your rulers, because it's time to compare iPhone thickness.

First off, the depth of the already-released iPhone 16 is 0.31 inch, or 7.80 mm, according to Apple's website. What about the new drops?

The iPhone 17 has exactly the same depth as the 16, and the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are a bit thicker at 0.34 inch (8.75 mm) — that's 0.2 inches thicker than the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, even.
