Leaked iPhone 17 Air Case Reveals New Camera Bar Design
A new leak by Sonny Dickson, a well-known leaker with a good track record, claims to show the case of the forthcoming iPhone 17 Air. The image highlights a redesigned camera bump, now referred to as a 'camera bar,' which is part of Apple's first major redesign in years. This redesign is particularly aimed at making the iPhone 17 Air significantly thinner than its predecessors.
Key Points:
- Thinness: The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be around 5.5mm thick, excluding the camera bar, compared to the current iPhone 16's 7.8mm and the iPhone 16 Pro Max's 8.25mm.
- Design Compromises: To achieve this thinness, Apple may exclude a SIM card slot from markets outside the US, as it already did with the iPhone 14 in the US. Additionally, mmWave 5G support might also be removed.
- Display Size: The front display is expected to be around 6.6 inches, similar to the current iPhone 16 Plus's 6.7 inches.
- Rumor Credibility: Sonny Dickson’s previous leaks have proven accurate, adding weight to this new claim.
While the case leak adds credibility to the rumors, it remains unverified until official confirmation from Apple.
