iPhone 17 Air Dummy Raises Design Concerns Instead of Alleviating Them
The iPhone 17 Air dummy has recently emerged, and it’s already igniting controversy over its design. Some users may find the rear camera bar appealing, while others have raised questions about Apple’s choices regarding the phone’s aesthetics. Four images of the dummy device have been made available, allowing potential customers to form their own opinions.
Upon reviewing the images, it’s evident that this dummy unit represents what could likely be the final design of the iPhone 17 Air. The design appears to align closely with earlier leaks shared by Jon Prosser. Notably, the iPhone 17 Air is touted to be extremely thin, featuring flat edges and a sleek profile with both front and back surfaces being flat.
For a better understanding of its dimensions, comparisons to the iPhone 17 Pro have been made, highlighting the new model’s slim design. One of the most contentious aspects of this design is the camera bar, which is reminiscent of the Google Nexus 6P. Although it is not identical, the pill-shaped camera bar is located at the top of the device’s rear and features a single, prominently visible camera positioned to the left within the bar.
This design decision has sparked debate among potential users and critics alike. The specifications of the device suggest that it will not be compact, as it is rumored to feature a 6.6-inch display. While this size is not confirmed, the images give a sense of its scale in hand.
The iPhone 17 Air is expected to launch alongside other variants in September, replacing the previously standard iPhone 17 Plus with this new model, which includes the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
