Recent leaks about Apple's upcoming iPhone 17, particularly the Air and Pro models, have elicited mixed reactions due to significant design changes. The Air model is expected to feature a slim design with a horizontal camera bar, while the Pro model will have a wide camera bar housing a triple-lens system. However, the base models are anticipated to retain a similar look to the iPhone 16, leading some fans to question the value of upgrading. Additional rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Air could be Apple's thinnest phone yet at 5.5 millimeters, raising concerns about battery life and durability. Official confirmation from Apple is still pending.

00:00Apple's iPhone 17 leaks just dropped, and the reactions are very mixed.
00:04The Air and Pro models are getting major design changes, but the base models, not so much.
00:09Let's break it all down, but first, hit that follow button so you don't miss the
00:12latest tech updates.
00:14Leaked renders of the iPhone 17 Air and the iPhone 17 Pro show that Apple is shaking things
00:19up, especially with their camera layout.
00:21The Air model is getting a slim redesign, featuring a horizontal camera bar similar
00:25to what you've maybe seen on Google Pixel's lineup, while meanwhile the Pro model is expected
00:29to have a wide camera bar that houses its triple-lens system.
00:33But here's where some fans might be let down.
00:36The base models of the iPhone 17 aren't expected to change much, sticking to the same
00:40overall look as the iPhone 16.
00:42According to 9to5Mac, this decision has left some Apple fans questioning whether it's
00:46even worth the upgrade.
00:48Another big change?
00:49Well, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to be Apple's thinnest iPhone yet, rumored to
00:53be just 5.5mm at its slimmest point, according to The Sun.
00:58That could make it the easiest iPhone to hold yet, but it also raises concerns about
01:03battery life and durability.
01:05And as someone who's broken at least 7 iPhones in her life, durability is something I'd
01:09be concerned about too.
01:10Apple hasn't confirmed anything yet, but if these leaks are accurate, the Air and Pro
01:15models will have a fresh look, while the standard iPhone 17 might feel more of the same.
01:20So do you think Apple is making the right call with these design choices, or not?
