iPhone 17 buzz is nowhere close to going down with new leaks and speculations emerging almost every other day.

The most recent leaks reveal a new design detail that could potentially change the way we see current iPhones. Here’s what we are learning,

iPhone 17 Air New Look

New renders shared by the YouTube channel AppleTrack suggest a dual-camera setup with a centred horizontal orientation instead of the traditional corner-aligned rear camera module that has become the identity of iPhones for years.

Initial rumours suggest the phone might feature a single rear camera resembling the classic iPhone SE or iPhone 8.

However, it appears we are in for a design refresh with the iPhone 17 Air (also known as the Slim).

This fresh design choice gives the Air model a distinct look compared to other iPhone 17 variants but has drawn comparisons to the Nothing Phone (2a).

Despite the unique design, the Air model’s price is rumoured to fall between $1,299 (approx INR 1,09,751) and $1,499 (approx INR 1,26,649).

Apple’s thinner and lighter iPhone 17 Air may face setbacks.

Earlier leaks suggested Apple planned to achieve this through a high-density battery, but new reports from Naver user yeux1122 indicate technical challenges have forced the company to scale back. As a result, the Air model may not see the dramatic reduction in thickness originally expected.

iPhone 17 Pro Max – Expected Powerful Upgrades

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is also expected to bring significant upgrades including a 48MP periscope telephoto lens.

This advanced zoom capability could make it a stronger contender against Android flagships in long-range photography, which signals Apple’s intent to stay ahead in the camera game.
