In a recent update, Australian tech enthusiast Sonny Dickson shared detailed photos of the dummy models for all four anticipated iPhone 17 models set to launch later this year. These dummy models are often crafted based on leaked designs and dimensions, allowing accessory manufacturers to start preparing cases for the upcoming iPhone releases.
In line with previous rumors, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max each feature an elongated rear camera bump. This bump houses three camera lenses, an LED camera flash, and a microphone, indicating a focus on enhanced photography capabilities. The iPhone 17 Air showcases a similar rear camera bump but is equipped with only a single lens. Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 17 maintains the same design as its predecessor, the iPhone 16.
Recent reports, mockups, leaked CADs, and these dummy models suggest that the designs are beginning to resemble the final products. Notably, these dummy models provide insights into several potential features of the iPhone 17 Air that had not been confirmed previously. Among these features are MagSafe and the highly anticipated Action button.
Initially, there were concerns that the iPhone 17 Air might lack the MagSafe feature due to its ultra-thin design. However, based on the latest dummy models, it appears that the device will indeed incorporate this popular charging technology. Additionally, the transition from the traditional Ring/Silent switch to an Action button comes as no surprise, but the dummy models serve as the first tangible evidence of this design change.
Further enhancing its functionality, a report released earlier today indicated that the iPhone 17 Air will also include a Camera Control button, and the dummy model supports this claim. A side-by-side comparison of the dummy models reveals that the iPhone 17 Air appears noticeably thinner than its counterparts, the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and standard iPhone 17.
As is customary, Apple is expected to announce its new iPhone lineup in September, building excitement for the latest innovations in the iPhone 17 series. With these dummy models surfacing, the anticipation for the official launch continues to grow among tech enthusiasts and Apple fans alike.
