Until now we already knew that That ‘Air’ model would bring a new designbut a leak that we have just learned details that the company is planning, not only to renew the design of this supposed ultra-thin mobile, but of the entire iPhone 17 line, recovering the aluminum design from years ago, and imitating, why not , the design of the Pixel 9 Pro that many liked so much this year.
Apple recovers the design from years ago
According to The Information he iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max from Apple will have a major redesign, similar to that of the iPhone 17 Air. The most notable thing is that the aluminum finishcurrently present in the standard iPhone models, (while the “Pro” models use stainless steel and, later, titanium), will also be part of the iPhone 17 Pro, which could pose a threat to the device’s wireless charging.
Therefore, it seems that the signature, In addition to aluminum, it will maintain the rear glass so as not to prevent charging the smartphone wirelessly.
The rest of Apple’s iPhone models will also undergo major design changes next year. For example, they will all go from stainless steel and titanium to aluminum, according to one of the sources. Of course, the back of the Pro and Pro Max models will have a new design that is partly aluminum and partly glass. The top of the back will have a larger rectangular camera bump made of aluminum instead of traditional 3D glass. The bottom half will still be glass to allow for wireless charging.
Let us remember that the last time Apple used aluminum in high-end models before the launch of the iPhonewhich means that the company wants to look at the past to give life to its future flagships.
As for the edevice aesthetics, what is seen in the leaked images of a case or its chassis, they anticipate that lThe camera bump will be bigger, more pronounced and will be made of aluminum, compared to the glass of the current versions, a strange design choice, especially considering that it is the one used by Apple’s main competitor, Google, in its recent Pixels.
In the same way that we know that alleged iPhone ‘Air’ It will be one of the thinnest models on the market, leaving its thickness below 8mm, compared to the iPhone 17 Pro and for the rest of the models in the series, there are no details available, neither about the thickness of the device, nor about the dimensions, nor the colors or anything at all.
At the end of the day, we still have many months ahead of us until they become a reality.
