Il iPhone 17 Air a démontré un design de 'barre de caméra' grand en raison d'une fuite.

The sounds continue to circulate around the rumored Apple iPhone 17 Air. This model is expected to replace the "Plus" model in the current year's iPhone 17 lineup. A new leak today reveals what could be a controversial design choice by Apple: a rear camera bar.

Noise about the Design of the iPhone 17 Air

We have been informed of several different reports on the dimensions of the iPhone 17 Air.

• A supply chain report suggests that the iPhone 17 Air will be around 6.25 mm thick.
• The information has reported that the prototypes of the iPhone 17 Air are between 5 and 6 millimeters thick.
• Ming-Chi Kuo has reported that the iPhone 17 Air will measure 5.5 mm at its thinnest point.

In comparison, all these possibilities are significantly thinner than the current models of iPhone 16. All these numbers also indicate that the iPhone 17 Air will be the thinnest phone ever produced by Apple, surpassing the chassis of the iPhone 6 with 6.9mm.

• Iphone 16: 7.80
• Iphone 16 Plus: 7.80
• Iphone 16 Pro: 8.25
• Iphone 16 Pro Max: 8.25

Another aspect of the iPhone 17 Air that has sparked debate is the camera bump. The device is expected to be equipped with a single 48MP rear camera, a significant departure from the two cameras of the iPhone 16 and three of the iPhone 16 Pro.

Today on social media, the quick Majin Bu shared an image that allegedly shows the supposed design of the rear of the iPhone 17 Air. The image is originally from a source on Weibo.

Majin Bu has a mix of records when it comes to sharing Apple's secretive hardware leaks – in particular at the beginning of a rumor cycle. However, I have also seen separate CAD drawings from previous sources accurately confirming this design with camera bar bars for the iPhone 17 Air.

This means that the single camera of the new iPhone 17 Air is located in the same place as the cameras of current iPhone models. Previous reports indicated that the camera would be centered at the rear of the device, but this has not been confirmed. However, the camera shield seems to be located on the other side of the camera bar.

If the iPhone 17 Air features this camera bar design, it could be the reason why Kuo specifically stated that the device would be 5.5mm thick at its 'thinnest part.' The device will obviously be larger on top if you count the ‘hump’ of the camera bar.

Having said all this, there are still eight months before Apple reveals the iPhone 17 Air. There is still time for Apple to modify the design of the iPhone 17 Air. Apple probably prototypes different designs and may ultimately choose a different path with the design of the iPhone 17 Air.
