iPhone 17 Lineup Leaks Hint at Major Design Shifts and New ‘Air’ Model
Anticipation is building for Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 series, expected to launch later this year, with a slew of leaks and rumors painting a picture of significant design overhauls and a brand-new ‘Air’ model. The lineup is rumored to include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, notably omitting the ‘Plus’ variant due to reported low sales.
A major highlight is the introduction of the ‘iPhone 17 Air,’ poised to be Apple’s thinnest iPhone to date, with rumored thickness ranging from 5mm to just over 6mm. This sleek new device is expected to feature a 6.6-inch display, a redesigned centralized rear camera, and simplified speaker grilles, alongside the integration of the Action Button and a new Camera Control button.
For the standard iPhone 17, updates appear more modest, with a rumored display size increase to 6.3 inches (from 6.1 inches) and a design largely resembling the iPhone 16, maintaining a pill-shaped vertical dual-camera setup.
The high-end iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models are also set for notable changes. Rumors suggest a departure from the current titanium frame, potentially reverting to aluminum, and a distinctive half-aluminum, half-glass backing for enhanced durability while retaining wireless charging capabilities. The camera module on these Pro models is tipped for a significant redesign, possibly shifting to a larger, rectangular or elongated oval bump, leading to speculation about a potential relocation of the Apple logo on the device’s rear.
Across the entire iPhone 17 range, display sizes are expected to standardize at 6.3 inches for the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro, 6.6 inches for the 17 Air, and 6.9 inches for the 17 Pro Max. While there are conflicting reports, some analysts suggest a narrower Dynamic Island across all models thanks to new Face ID technology. Apple is also reportedly testing new green and purple color options, with purple currently favored for inclusion.
