Rumors Indicate iPhone 17 May Feature Unconventional Camera Design

Apple is reportedly preparing for a significant design overhaul with its iPhone 17 series, blending innovative features with elements of nostalgia. Among the most striking rumors is a central camera hump for certain models, deviating from Apple’s traditional corner-aligned rear camera design.

The iPhone 17 Air, according to early speculations, would include a single rear camera, similar to the iPhone SE and iPhone 8. However, recent pictures reveal that the iPhone 17 Air will include a horizontally positioned dual-camera configuration in the center.

The device distinguishes out due to its vertical camera orientation, which differs from previous iPhones. However, the design seems to be identical to the Nothing Phone (2a), raising the question of whether it is really unique. Despite its unique look, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to cost between $1,299 and $1,499 and be promoted by Apple as a premium device.

Apple intended for the iPhone 17 Air to feature a high-density battery and a very small profile. Nonetheless, according to user leaks on the Naver website, Apple has had difficulty achieving this slimness. As a result, many people expect the phone to have fresh looks, however it may not be much thinner than previous models.

There have been reports that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will have significant camera improvements. A 48MP periscope telephoto lens might be incorporated in the Pro Max model, increasing zoom capabilities and making it a formidable challenger in the high-end smartphone market.
