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. At the moment’s leak places the highlight on the iPhone 17 Air—and it’s greater than prepared for its closeup.
In a put up by leaker Majin Bu on X, we get to see the iPhone 17 Air within the flesh and it seems to be extremely skinny. For reference, Bu holds it subsequent to an iPhone 16e—which is simply 7.8 mm—and the 17 Air seems to be about half the thickness, as you possibly can see beneath.
The iPhone 16e (prime) seems to be downright cumbersome in comparison with the iPhone 17 Air dummy fashions.
Granted, the cellphone does have a reasonably sizable digital camera bump, however the brand new design, which spreads the array throughout the complete prime of the cellphone, helps make it much less bulbous and extra visually interesting. The cellphone is proven in black with a digital camera array that matches the physique of the cellphone.
To realize such thinness, Apple will reportedly must make a number of sacrifices contained in the cellphone. 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. After all, Apple may even provide iPhone 17 and 17 Professional fashions for individuals who prioritise these options over the design of the 17 Air, but when it seems to be this good, fairly a number of persons are going to be keen 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 onerous to foretell what costs will likely be.
