Recent leaks have emerged regarding the iPhone 17 Air, particularly involving a subtle adjustment to its front camera placement. This change could indicate some internal design compromises necessitated by the device’s ultra-slim profile. As we approach the traditional rumor season, a steady stream of leaks has begun to surface, providing insights into the upcoming iPhone lineup, including the iPhone 17.
The latest leak features a photograph of screen protectors specifically designed for the iPhone 17 series. At first glance, the protectors for the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max show their front-facing cameras situated to the right of the Dynamic Island. In contrast, the iPhone 17 Air has its selfie camera positioned to the left.
These images were leaked by Majin Bu, a source known for mixed results in accurately reporting on Apple products. Despite this questionable track record, Majin Bu claims that repositioning the camera could improve video call and selfie experiences. However, the assertion that this shift would allow for “new angles and a different interaction” appears dubious, as any difference in camera angle would be minimal at best.
If Apple decides to move the camera to the left side of the Dynamic Island, it is likely due to practical reasons associated with the device’s design. Rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 Air could be exceptionally thin, measuring under 6 millimeters, which may necessitate relocating the camera to accommodate other internal components. Additionally, another leak related to the iPhone 17 Air recently surfaced, this time seemingly from Apple itself.
A wallpaper found in iOS 26 might have unintentionally disclosed the device’s screen resolution and size, adding to the growing anticipation surrounding the new lineup.
