iPhone 17 Design Leak: Ultra-Thin iPhone 17 Air Unveiled Amid Durability Concerns
April 23, 2025
The design of the iPhone 17 has reportedly been finalized, with leaks confirming four variants, including the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air.
Dummy units of the iPhone 17 series have emerged, revealing significant design changes such as an elongated camera module on Pro models and a dual-tone back.
YouTuber Lewis Hilsenteger from Unbox Therapy noted that the iPhone 17 Air measures just 5.66 mm in thickness, making it remarkably thin except for the camera protrusion.
Hilsenteger speculated that the iPhone 17 Air would likely attract consumers, despite some concerns regarding its durability and battery life.
Rumors indicate that Apple may introduce new battery technology to ensure the iPhone 17 Air maintains battery life comparable to the iPhone 16 models.
While raising concerns about potential bending issues reminiscent of the 'Bendgate' scandal with the iPhone 6, Hilsenteger expressed confidence in Apple's quality control.
Production of the iPhone 17 is expected to commence soon, although Apple is facing challenges with a key component used in AI GPUs that could impact stock levels.
