Rumors continue to swirl around the iPhone 17 Air, also referred to as the iPhone 17 Slim, with the latest leak adding more intrigue. Previous reports suggested this slimmer iPhone model would sport a wide camera module reminiscent of Google’s Pixel 9 series, positioned closer to the top of the phone. This recent leak seems to corroborate this design.
Leaker Sonny Dickson shared an image on X, claiming it showcases a third-party case designed for the iPhone 17 Air. Dickson commented, “Here’s your first look at a case for the iPhone 17 Air. If you didn’t know an Air was coming, you’d swear it was a Google Pixel case.”
Alleged iPhone 17 Air Case
While Apple hasn’t officially confirmed the iPhone 17 Air’s existence, the sheer volume of recent rumors suggests there’s likely some truth to them. However, it’s important to remember that third-party case designs don’t always accurately reflect final product designs. Case manufacturers sometimes receive preliminary specifications that are subject to change before the official launch.
Expected iPhone 17 Air Features and Specifications
Dickson’s post didn’t divulge further details about the iPhone 17 Air. Previous reports, however, indicate the device might boast a remarkably slim 5.5mm profile, a 6.6-inch display with 120Hz ProMotion technology, and the familiar Dynamic Island.
The camera system is rumored to include a 48-megapixel single lens on the left side of the wide camera module, accompanied by a flash on the right. It’s also expected to retain the Camera Control button introduced with the iPhone 16 series.
Anticipated Launch and Ongoing Speculation
Apple typically unveils its new iPhone lineup in September, and the iPhone 17 series is anticipated to follow this pattern. Whether the iPhone 17 Air will be part of this launch remains uncertain. However, with persistent rumors circulating, we can expect further developments and leaks in the coming months.
