A few months before its official presentation, the new iPhone 17 would have a fairly surprising new design.
L’iphone 17 should surprise on many points. According to several unofficial sources, Apple would include a big change in design for the pro model. The latter would be decked out of a much more imposing photo block than in the past and which would be extended from one edge to the other of the device.
Why such a change? The explanations are multiple. This can simply be to differentiate the iPhone 17 Pro from previous models. It is also possible that this larger photo block can allow Apple to house a larger and therefore more efficient telephoto module for photos from afar.
Anyway, you will have to wait until September to find out more. The iPhone 17 should be officially unveiled by the end of 2025 with in particular a new model: the iPhone 17 Air.
A thinner design for the iPhone 17 Air
This finer variant of the iPhone 17 should be between the standard iPhone 17 and the pro variants in terms of price. Apple is big on the sales of this new format. The American brand certainly wants to revive variants after poor commercial success on mini and more models. “The idea is in a way to create a finer version of the iPhone, something that is between the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 pro. The most relevant comparison is probably that of the MacBook Air there is More than a decade, which was somewhere between the basic MacBook and the MacBook Pro “explains Mark Gurman, journalist in Bloomberg.
From a design point of view, the iPhone 17 Air (sometimes called “Slim”) will be finer than a standard iPhone. It would have a 6.6 “screen, larger than the iPhone 17 of 6.3” but smaller than the iPhone 17 Pro Max of 6.9 “. It will share technical characteristics and it could have the cameras positioned in the center and not on one side of the phone. This new iPhone 17 Air could stimulate sales of the American firm. What more or mini models have not succeeded. According to the first rumors about it, the iPhone 17 Air would be “the finest iPhone ever created” by Apple.
A new design for the iPhone 17
The classic iPhone 17 would not be outdone either in terms of design. According to first production units identified on social networks, the basic version of the iPhone 17 would have a new camera module placed entirely on the edge of the device and extend from one edge to the other of the Smartphone. This is reminiscent of Pixel phones from Google.
On the side of the iPhone 17 pro and 17 pro max, changes would also be expected. Apple would even further enhance the block dedicated to the photo and the latter would go from one side to the other of the aircraft. This would result in a fairly massive photo block, but whose sensors would always be housed in the upper left corner of the iPhone.
Towards an upward price for the iPhone 17?
Unless a great turnaround and new products still not announced, we do not think that the iPhone 17 will see its price increase compared to previous generations. The prices charged in France would therefore be as follows:
- iPhone 17 : from € 969
- iPhone 17 pro : from 1229 €
- iPhone 17 pro max : from 1479 €
Then comes the question of the iPhone 17 Air. If several sources have already mentioned that its price could be between the classic iPhone 17 and the pro version, it must be kept in mind that the miniaturization of components is an expensive process. Reducing the size of such a device would surely cost Apple more than increasing it since the components must be fully reviewed. It would therefore not be impossible that the iPhone 17 Air will end up costing more than pro versions.
What release date for the iPhone 17?
If Apple sticks to its habits, the iPhone 17 will be officially unveiled during a Keynote conference at the start or mid -September. Traditionally, these announcements take place on Tuesday and it would therefore be logical to bet on an official on Tuesday, September 9 or 16, 2024. The iPhone 17 should then be officially available in the days that follow.
