iPhone 17 Air camera may get a design similar to Google Pixel
The upcoming Apple iPhone 17 Air has long been attracting attention even before its official presentation. Six months before the device was announced, the first real photo of a protective case for this model appeared.
Here's What We Know
The photo shows that the iPhone 17 Air may have a design similar to the Google Pixel.
In the photo of the protective case, you can see a large camera that occupies almost the entire back panel. This is reminiscent of the design of Pixel smartphones. However, the camera is not located in the same way as on Google devices.

The iPhone 17 Air will have a thickness of only 5.5 mm and a 6.6-inch display. This smartphone will replace the iPhone 16 Plus model, which was not very popular because of its design. The iPhone 17 Air is also expected to have an improved front-facing camera.
This first photo of the iPhone 17 Air protective case gives an idea of the design changes that could be significant for Apple fans.
According to unofficial information, all four iPhone 17 models that will be released later this year will have an updated 24-megapixel front camera. This was reported by analyst Jeff Pu.
Other rumours about the iPhone 17 include increased RAM to 12 GB and a new 48-megapixel telephoto camera for the Pro and Pro Max models. According to Pu, the A19 and A19 Pro processors will be manufactured using TSMC's new 3nm N3P process technology.
The official announcement and launch of the iPhone 17 is expected in September 2025.
