When the river sounds, water carries, and in the world of phone leaks it is a standard that is usually met. A few weeks ago, Jon Prosser revealed The alleged design of the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro. Two telephone that would arrive, according to the filter, with a redesigned chamber module and that, everything is said, reminds some family models little of Xiaomi.
A week later, new information based on Factory CAD supposedin which it is confirmed that the design, at least in this initial stage of product development.
The iPhone carry without a remarkable design change from the family iPhone 11at least in relation to the camera modules. There have been dances in the respective to the position of the cameras and their size, but the rear remained unchanged since the year.

This design, which seemed immovable, would be about to change in the next generation iPhone 17. In this, regardless of the number of cameras, the module will be the main differential feature for the design of the new product line.

All leaks are aligning in one direction: that of the iPhone 17 with a redesigned camera module and with a larger volume. According to leaks of alleged covers for this phone, with them the design will barely mean a change. Without it, the cameras will cease to be the only element that protrudes, to become part of a gigantic island … in the Android style.
Xiaomi little x6 pro.
One of the points we have criticized for 2024 has been the unnecessary of oversizing the camera modules to give them prominence. If the leaks are fulfilled, Apple will do exactly the same. Samsung was one of the few companies that had not joined the fashion with Apple, with a clean rear in which only the cameras stood out (as is inevitable).
Another curious movement that is rumored is the return to aluminum throughout the iPhone 17 family, reserving the titanium frame for the iPhone 17 Air. This rumor is not yet solid and would be quite difficult to justify, given the good results (especially in weight reduction).
This Apple’s decision would make a certain meaning: unifying the design of the family, regardless of the model we buy. Similarly, it will allow the iPhone 17 Air, who will allegedly land with just a camera, shine with some packaging despite having such a scarce photographic section.
