With simply 5 months to go till the iPhone 17 launches, the leaks are coming quick as Apple places the ending touches on its new lineup of telephones. Right now’s leak places the highlight on the iPhone 17 Air—and it’s greater than prepared for its closeup.
In a publish by leaker Majin Bu on X, we get to see the iPhone 17 Air within the flesh and it appears to be like extremely skinny. For reference, Bu holds it subsequent to an iPhone 16e—which is just 7.8 mm—and the 17 Air seems to be about half the thickness, as you possibly can see under.
The iPhone 16e (high) appears to be like downright cumbersome in comparison with the iPhone 17 Air dummy fashions.
Granted, the telephone does have a reasonably sizable digital camera bump, however the brand new design, which spreads the array throughout the complete high of the telephone, helps make it much less bulbous and extra visually interesting. The telephone is proven in black with a digital camera array that matches the physique of the telephone.
To attain such thinness, Apple will reportedly have to make a number of sacrifices contained in the telephone. For one, there’ll solely be a single digital camera, which Bu’s photographs present. Moreover, Apple is anticipated to make use of a smaller battery, and eradicate the underside speaker. In fact, Apple may also provide iPhone 17 and 17 Professional fashions for individuals who prioritise these options over the design of the 17 Air, but when it appears to be like this good, fairly a couple of individuals are going to be prepared to make the tradeoff.
Apple is anticipated to unveil the iPhone 17 at an occasion in September. It would reportedly price the identical $899 because the iPhone 16 Plus, however with tariffs going into impact this month, it’s laborious to foretell what costs might be.
