iPhone 17 series design
According to current leaks, the iPhone 17 series design may have the following features:
1. Evolution of design: thinner and more compact
The iPhone Air could be the thinnest iPhone ever, expected to be just 5.6mm thick.
The frame is also thinner, improving the screen-to-body ratio. Rumors are that the Pro model will have a titanium frame, but there is also a possibility that all models will have an aluminum frame.
Additionally, it has been suggested that the rear camera layout may change: the standard model may return to a single camera, while the Pro model is expected to continue with a triple camera setup. Some rumors have suggested that the camera bump will be replaced with a smooth slope.

①Color lineup: Check out the new colors
Based on leaked information, such as the camera lens protector, the following color variations are expected:
iPhone 17: Blue, Silver, Black, Green, Purple iPhone Air: Black, Silver, Light Gold, Light Blue
The standard model is expected to have a pop impression, while the Air will have a more luxurious and subdued tone.
② Changes to the Apple logo and MagSafe ring placement
According to multiple leaks, including from Majin Bu, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will likely have a redesigned camera bump, as well as the Apple logo being moved slightly lower from the center of the back.
As a result, it is highly likely that the MagSafe ring position will also move downwards.
The background to this change is said to be the larger rear camera bump on the Pro model and the transition to an integrated structure, which is thought to also affect the placement of the glass panel on the back.
Furthermore, some analysts believe this is also intended to secure space for future camera module expansion for the iPhone 18 Pro series and beyond.
These changes have raised concerns about compatibility with existing MagSafe accessories and consistency with designs such as clear cases, but these are expected to be addressed by adding a logo cutout to genuine Apple cases and a new MagSafe design (tentative name: MagSafe 2).
2. Evolution of displays
It is rumored that all models may feature 120Hz ProMotion technology.
If the smooth scrolling experience that was previously limited to the Pro series becomes available on the original and "Air" models, it will likely be a major improvement in the user experience, making gaming more enjoyable.
[Latest information for 7.10]: We are also planning to make Dynamic Island smaller and adjust the UI for iOS 19 (such as changing the position of the search bar).
3. Changes to button specifications?
There are also rumors that the volume and action buttons will be integrated into a slide-type touch button (likely a digital control similar to the camera control button). We'll have to wait for further leaks for more details on this.

Camera performance of the iPhone 17 series

The iPhone Air is expected to feature a single camera, allowing for simple yet high-quality photography.
The iPhone 17 is equipped with a dual camera.
Front camera
There are also rumors that the front camera on all models will be upgraded to 24MP, which is expected to be a significant improvement over the current 12MP (iPhone 11 and later).
iPhone 17 series features and specifications
1. Chipset and performance improvements
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is equipped with the A19 Pro chip, which is expected to enhance AI functions and image processing performance in particular.
The standard model will likely feature the A19 chip, which could improve overall performance.
RAM may be increased to 8GB for the standard model and 12GB for the Pro model, which is expected to make multitasking and advanced app processing smoother.

2. Battery and Charging
According to leaks from Sonny Dickson, models other than the iPhone Air may be slightly thicker than the current model (iPhone 16 series), which is speculated to improve battery capacity and extend battery life.
Since MagSafe was discontinued in the iPhone 16e, there was speculation that the thinnest iPhone Air ever would not support MagSafe, but the latest leaks suggest that both the Air and the other 17 series models are likely to continue to feature MagSafe.
Some rumors also suggest that the iPhone Air may not have a wired charging port, but this will need to be verified later.

1) The iPhone 17 Pro Max may have the largest battery in iPhone history, with a maximum capacity of 5,000mAh.
② There are concerns that the iPhone Air's slim design will result in a decrease in battery life, and there are reports that the company is considering releasing a dedicated battery case.
In addition, the C1 low-power modem chip used in the iPhone 16e will continue to be installed in some models, which is expected to improve power-saving performance.
