According to the mobile phone design in 2015, it may appear that there is no problem with the camera button part of the iPhone 17 Air.

Recently, I looked at the camera bonus of the iPhone 17 Air, but its reaction was not very accurate.

"We do not know for certain that the photos are real, but according to our own information source, the drawn design is probably correct."

It has become easier to create fake images using AI and 3D printers recently, but we noticed that this image at least agrees with our own information source.

Ajin bu has a mixed record of sharing leaks about Apple's hardware. Especially during the early stages of the rumor cycle. However, I previously found another CAD drawing from an accurate information source and it confirms the camera barrel style design of the iPhone 17 Air.

Commenters were not satisfied.

The photos look a little dull.

"It seems very heavy and biased. As others have pointed out, it resembles Pixel 9 but I think it looks better to me."

"Pixel 9, are you?"

"Ah, that was funny."

"I don't like the look of that. It feels a bit strange."

"This is terrible."

However, there are some things to note. Firstly, these leaks always appear in low-quality photos and this case is no exception. The distortion arises from the vacuum-sealed plastic packaging. These are challenging situations for anything to look good!

"It feels uncomfortable to look at this photo, but in reality, I don't think so much about it."

Secondly, humans are resistant to change and can always observe a three-stage pattern with new Apple designs: at first, everyone dislikes it, then everyone gets used to it, and no one imagines that it couldn't be done another way.

One thing that many people appreciate is that the phone does not shake when placed on a desk or table! I don't like general camera bumps much, but I can't avoid it because of the reason that I can't have a general phone with the same thickness as the camera module. However, I dislike using it on a flat surface like an iPhone, fearing that just swiping to dismiss notifications would be troublesome.

This design at least solves that problem and allows the display screen to tilt slightly for the user, which is an additional advantage when done without shaking.

"Similar to Nexus 6P"

"As some people have commented, this design resembles the Google/Huawei Nexus 6P from 2015. I did most of what I did because I wanted to show how such an indentation would look in the real world. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with this."

However, I don't plan to buy an iPhone 17 Air and will continue to use the Pro Max for its screen size and camera features. Even so, I am not worried about owning a phone with this design.
