iPhone 17 Leak: Pill-Shaped Cutouts, New Camera Design, and Rumored iPhone Air
  • Display analyst Ross Young has indicated that all models of the upcoming iPhone 17 will likely feature a pill-shaped cutout, although the anticipated under-panel Face ID technology has been postponed until the iPhone 18.

  • Leaker Majin Bu has shared potential design images for the iPhone 17, suggesting a new camera layout that includes a pill-shaped camera module aimed at enhancing Spatial Photos and Videos.

  • However, it appears that only the standard iPhone 17 will adopt this pill-shaped design, while the Pro models are expected to maintain a larger rectangle-shaped camera module.

  • Display sizes for the iPhone 17 are projected to remain consistent with previous models, featuring 6.3 inches for the smaller versions and 6.9 inches for the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

  • In addition to the standard models, there are rumors of an iPhone Air being released, which could utilize new OLED display technology that integrates Touch and Display Driver Integration, resulting in a thinner screen.

  • Apple is anticipated to source its OLED panels for the iPhone 17 lineup from major suppliers Samsung and LG.

  • There are also speculations regarding a shift in materials, with rumors suggesting that Apple may transition from a titanium frame back to aluminum for all iPhone models, and potentially switch from aluminum to glass for the back.

  • The regular iPhone 17 models are expected to feature Always-On Display and ProMotion technology, utilizing a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide display to enhance performance.

  • Despite the excitement surrounding these leaks, it's important to note that Majin Bu's credibility is mixed; while they have been accurate in some cases, they also have a history of incorrect product design leaks and sharing false images.
