During September of this year, that is, in less than a month, we will see a New much more finer iPhone model Of the usual, with the departure of the iPhone 17 Air, the light version of the Apple phone range, which has many advantages, but also disadvantages.
Among them, like any phone, the fact that you can break into a fall, especially for being so fine, something that will worry about customers, but that will also do the reason for having to put a cover, so Apple could consider an intermediate option to content everyone.
Possible case for the iPhone 17 Air
In recent days an interesting rumor has emerged on the iPhone 17 Air, and has to do with an accessory that Apple has not offered for more than a decade, a Bumper type case. According to Bloomberg Mark Gurman, the company is considering launching this case with the new model. For those who do not remember it, The iPhone 4 already had a similar accessory in 2010a kind of rubber frame that surrounded the phone, leaving the entire back to view. Now the idea sounds again because the iPhone 17 Air aims to be the thinnest model of the range, and many users may not cover it with a thick cover that ruins that feeling of lightness.
The concept of the bumper makes sense since it protects the edges and cornerswhich are usually the most vulnerable points to falls and blows, without adding a lot of volume. In addition, when the rear left free, the ultrafine and light design of the phone is still appreciated, and does not touch when putting it on a table, so in a way it protects the rear as well.
At the same time, it is said that Apple is also working on a built -in cover case for the same device, something we commented for a long time, designed for those who need more autonomy, leaving aesthetics aside. All this officially directly by the company, leaving aside all the options that we will see outside this market, of course.
The interesting thing is that the possible return of a Bumper cover is not a simple nostalgic memory of that iPhone 4, which few will remember, but a need for an increasingly thin design that perhaps does not combine well with traditional covers, since it directly removes its most important point in favor. The company probably wants to offer official alternatives for different user profiles, who prioritize design and lightness on the one hand, and those who seek more battery for another. If everything follows the usual calendar, both the iPhone 17 Air and these accessories will be announced in the September 2025 eventtogether with the rest of the iPhone 17 family, being able to buy them days later, so we would see everything in less than a month.
And you, are you one of those who look for this type of designs as fine as possible, or do you don't mind that it is a little thicker if that offers you more autonomy and security? Leave us a comment with your opinion.
