Overview

  • The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to be the thinnest iPhone ever at 5.5mm, featuring a single rear camera in a horizontal bar design similar to Google Pixel devices.
  • Speculation suggests the iPhone 17 Pro Max may be rebranded as the iPhone 17 Ultra, with a thicker body to accommodate a larger battery and enhanced cooling system.
  • Leaked dimensions indicate the iPhone 17 Air and Pro Max will have identical length, width, and screen size, but differ in thickness, with the Air prioritizing sleekness over battery capacity.
  • The iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to introduce a new aluminum camera bar design, replacing the traditional square camera bump, while the base iPhone 17 retains a similar design to the iPhone 16.
  • Apple's potential four-model lineup for 2025 could include the iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and a high-end Ultra model, marking a significant shift in its product strategy.
