It is similar to the renders published in February 2025 by insider Majin Bu: the iPhone 17 Air will supposedly have a single camera and a horizontal protrusion on the back panel.
The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models will also have a protrusion for the cameras, and the back cover will be a combined design of glass and aluminum. It is expected that the new product will be shown at the company's autumn presentation.
As a reminder, the leak appeared on the Chinese social network Weibo, according to which the new iPhone 17 Pro Max would receive the most powerful battery among all Apple models. If this information is confirmed, the smartphone will have the largest battery in the history of the iPhone.
We also wrote that Apple is preparing to significantly change the appearance of the iPhone 17 Pro. Together with the brand new iPhone 17 Air model, the company will introduce a smartphone with cameras located across the entire width of the rear panel — without the traditional "island".
