The highly anticipated iPhone 17 series is making headlines with fresh design leaks, revealing significant differences between the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, and iPhone 17 Pro. While the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro are set to introduce a distinctive camera island, the standard iPhone 17 may stick to Apple's familiar design language.
iPhone 17 Air vs. iPhone 17 Pro: Unique camera designs
Recent renders suggest that the iPhone 17 Air will sport a single-camera visor, reminiscent of older Google Pixel models. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro appears to take inspiration from the Poco X6 and Poco X6 Pro, featuring a unique camera layout.
For those wondering about the iPhone 17 Pro Max, reports indicate it will simply be a larger version of the iPhone 17 Pro, following Apple's tradition of scaling up its flagship models.
iPhone 17 vs. iPhone 16: What’s changing?
Surprisingly, the standard iPhone 17 might not adopt these bold design changes. Instead, leaks suggest it will closely resemble the iPhone 16, maintaining Apple's established look. Unlike the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro, the base iPhone 17 model is unlikely to feature a camera visor-style island or a Poco-inspired camera setup.
iPhone 17 display upgrade: 120Hz refresh rate confirmed?
Although the iPhone 17 may not bring drastic design changes, previous leaks hint at a 120Hz refresh rate display—a long-awaited upgrade for the base iPhone model. If true, this enhancement would offer smoother scrolling and a better user experience, aligning with the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
Final thoughts on iPhone 17 series leaks
While these leaks should be taken with a grain of salt, they come from a reliable source that accurately revealed the iPhone 17 Air's design. If these rumors hold, Apple could be focusing on differentiating the iPhone 17 lineup while keeping the standard model closer to previous iterations.
Stay tuned for more updates on the iPhone 17 release date, specs, and official announcements as we get closer to the launch.
