Leaks about the iPhone 17 series have revealed exciting design changes, including a new camera bar and the introduction of the iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to be Apple’s thinnest phone ever. These details come from reliable leaker Jon Prosser, who has shared renders of the upcoming models.
New Camera Bar Design
The iPhone 17 will feature a horizontal camera bar, replacing the old vertical camera setup. This bar will include dual cameras, an LED flash, and a microphone, giving the phone a fresh and modern look. The camera bar will also have a darker shade, making it stand out from the rest of the back panel.
The iPhone 17 Pro will also get this camera bar design, but it will be larger to fit its triple-camera system. The layout will have three lenses on the left side, while the LED flash, microphone, and LiDAR scanner will be on the right. The Pro model is also expected to be lighter than before and may have a two-tone finish, with the camera bar being darker than the rest of the phone.
iPhone 17 Air: The Thinnest iPhone Yet
Apple is reportedly replacing the Plus model with the new iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to be super thin, measuring between 5.5mm to 6mm in thickness. It will feature a single 48MP camera, an LED flash, and a microphone, all neatly placed in a central camera bar. The front will still have Dynamic Island, and the phone will be powered by Apple’s A19 chip for smooth performance.
Design
All iPhone 17 models will have a unified design, featuring a camera bar that makes them look more modern. While the iPhone 17 and 17 Air will have a single-camera setup, the iPhone 17 Pro will keep its triple-camera system. The two-tone design with a darker camera bar will make the phones look stylish and unique.
Expected Launch Date
Apple has not officially confirmed these details, but the iPhone 17 series is expected to be launched in September 2025, following Apple’s usual release schedule. Since these are leaks, it’s best to wait for official confirmation.
