iPhone 17 design may be drastically different

Speculation is rife that the iPhone 17 would sport a drastically new design from its predecessors, and the "iPhone 17 Air" might just be the thinnest iPhone ever. In this article I want to tell you about the rumored new design:

iPhone 17 Air:
Ultra-thin design: It is anticipated the phone will measure 5.5 mm to 6 mm in thickness.

Single rear camera: One of the most important features of iPhone 17 is that it is said to be the only one containing a 48-megapixel single-camera within a rectangular camera bar. The camera bar might have the same design as Google's Pixel phones. A microphone and LED flash unit are expected to appear on the right side.

Disadvantages: The slim design may limit the hardware, for example, it could omit the optical zoom, decrease the speaker or front camera performance, there could be no Sim card tray, no speaker on the bottom, and most probably a smaller battery. Besides that, it may not have an ultra-wide camera and 5G support via mmWave.

Chipset: The iPhone 17 Air is allegedly running a A19 chip, the basic one

The Pro/Pro Max iPhone 17:

Horizontal Camera Bar: There are rumors that the iPhone 17 Pro variants will have a bigger horizontal camera bar. According to certain sources, there should be a rectangular bar across the rear of the gadget.

Material Change: The iPhone 17 Pro may go from titanium to a design that is partially made of aluminum and glass.

Smaller Dynamic Island: Metalens technology may enable the iPhone 17 Pro Max to have a smaller Dynamic Island with more compact Face ID components.

narrower Bezels: According to reports, the iPhone 17 Pro will have narrower bezels.

Additional Things to Think About:

Release Date: It is projected that the iPhone 17 series will be released in September.

Plus Model Replacement: It is anticipated that the iPhone 17 Air will take the place of the Plus model in the iPhone lineup.
