Apple iPhone 17 dummy phones surfaced online after a leak from Sonny Dickson appeared on X. Dickson has a reputable history of leaking nonfunctional versions of iPhones. Accordingly, manufacturers of phone accessories use them for preparing products in advance.
According to The Verge, the unofficial photos resemble the renders from previous weeks. In line with this, the recent renders suggest that the iPhone 17 Air would be the Cupertino company’s thinnest phone. Both the new leak and recent renders share the same look. Similarities go down up to the phone-wide camera bump, which is expected to be included on every model except the standard iPhone 17.
The insider images from Dickson presented the dimensions of the dummy handsets. While the existing models of iPhones are pretty slim, these leaked photos show a notable difference. The rumored Air model makes the others look like they have been hitting the buffet.
Subsequently, the dummies seem to support circulating rumors that the iPhone 17 Air is sized at 6.6 inches. It is right in the middle of the iPhone 16 Pro (6.3 inches) and the iPhone 16 Pro Max (6.9 inches), Wes Davis of The Verge reports.
More Possible Features of the iPhone 17 Air
As reported by Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, the iPhone 17 Air will have a 6.6 display after Apple canceled its plan of making it 6.9 inches. Apparently, the tech company was worried that the original design was prone to bending, making the device less durable. The journalist also added that the smartphone includes the Dynamic Island and a button to control the camera. At the same time, it is rumored to feature slim bezels.Â
Moreover, the upcoming smartphone will feature a single back camera, an Apple A19 chip, a 120Hz ProMotion display, and a familiar battery life, Gurman says as shared by The Verge. He also expects the Apple iPhone 17 Air to start at roughly $900.
