First Look at iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Air: Slimmer, Faster, and Camera-Heavy

Apple’s upcoming smartphones, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Air, have generated excitement following the release of new rendering images.

On Monday, the tech world was abuzz when IT YouTuber TechDroider shared renderings of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Air on X (formerly Twitter) based on recent leaks and rumors.

The iPhone 17 Pro immediately stands out with its significantly enlarged camera island, while the iPhone 17 Air features an ultra-slim design with a single rear camera. Both models appear to be inspired by Google’s Pixel lineup, incorporating a metal frame and a glass back. At first glance, the design resembles an imprint of a MagSafe card wallet.

The iPhone 17 Pro is rumored to feature Apple’s powerful A19 Pro chip, 12GB of RAM, a triple 48-megapixel rear camera system, a 24-megapixel front-facing camera, 35W wired charging, and an advanced heat dissipation system.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to measure just 5.5 mm at its thinnest point, extending the camera bump to 9.5 mm. It will likely house the standard A19 chip instead of the Pro variant and come with a single 48-megapixel rear camera. Additionally, the device is anticipated to feature a single speaker and support only eSIM technology, eliminating the physical SIM slot.

With these rumored features, Apple’s next-generation iPhones are shaping up to be a bold step forward in design and functionality.
