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 present’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 seems extremely skinny. For reference, Bu holds it subsequent to an iPhone 16e—which is barely 7.8 mm—and the 17 Air seems to be about half the thickness, as you may see under.
The iPhone 16e (prime) seems downright cumbersome in comparison with the iPhone 17 Air dummy fashions.
Granted, the telephone does have a reasonably sizable digicam bump, however the brand new design, which spreads the array throughout your complete prime of the telephone, helps make it much less bulbous and extra visually interesting. The telephone is proven in black with a digicam array that matches the physique of the telephone.
To attain such thinness, Apple will reportedly must make a number of sacrifices contained in the telephone. For one, there’ll solely be a single digicam, which Bu’s photographs present. Moreover, Apple is anticipated to make use of a smaller battery, and get rid of the underside speaker. In fact, 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 this good, fairly just a few persons are going to be prepared to make the tradeoff.
Apple is anticipated to unveil the iPhone 17 at an occasion in September. It’s going to reportedly price the identical $899 because the iPhone 16 Plus, however with tariffs going into impact this month, it’s exhausting to foretell what costs might be.
