At just 5.5 mm thin, the upcoming iPhone 17 Air is likely to be the thinnest iPhone that Apple has ever made. With a 6.6-inch 120 Hz OLED display and A19 SoC, the iPhone 17 Air is almost certain to be priced at a premium.https://www.notebookcheck.net/iPhone-17-Air-Beautiful-concept-video-showcases-Apple-s-thinnest-smartphone-yet.961302.0.html
The ViVo X5 Max was 4.75 mm thick, it was made way back in 2014 and it even had a headphone jack.
probably had a 1 hr battery life too, lol.

Quote"To put it simply, the X5Max amazed us in terms of its battery performance. It posted impressive scores across the board, not only considering its screen diagonal and battery size, but also in absolute values. Standby endurance, which is not included in the scorecard, is about 11 full days with a single SIM, and a day less with a second SIM inside. Call times on a 3G network are more than 17 hours, well above average.
Moving on to on-screen activities, the smartphone is good for nearly 11 hours of video playback - it can easily last you a transatlantic flight with constant movie watching."

thanks i was just about to post same and correct myself, it was quite impressive!
Yes, thin isn't new, just marketing. My old (2017) Moto Z2 Play is 6mm, plus from experience thinness has it's weird quirks, too: holding something that thin with machined edges is like holding a knife blade. Plus, try picking something 5.5mm thin off a flat surface. It's not easy. Phone cases are going to be a must, negating thinness anyway.
