Rumors Suggest iPhone 17 to Feature Rounded Edges and Unified Material Design

Speculation points to a major design overhaul with smoother transitions between materials and the return of curved edges, though details remain unconfirmed.

Leaked reports indicate the iPhone 17 may reintroduce rounded edges, reminiscent of earlier iPhone models, departing from the flat-edge design used since 2020.
The design is rumored to include a smoother transition between the device's edges and back cover, achieved through a new manufacturing process combining glass and aluminum materials.
Apple is reportedly considering replacing the titanium frame in Pro models with an aluminum frame, incorporating a half-glass, half-aluminum back for wireless charging compatibility.
The iPhone 17 series is expected to feature 120Hz displays across all models, addressing long-standing criticism of lower refresh rates in standard versions.
Speculation also includes a potential new 'iPhone 17 Air' model with an ultra-thin design, though details about its features and availability remain unclear.
