Photo of Apple’s ‘iPhone 17 Air’ rear camera bar allegedly leaks

A leaker known as “Majin Bu” today shared an alleged image of a component for the rumored, ultra-thin “iPhone 17 Air” model on the X social network.

Joe Rossignol for MacRumors:
‎

The blurry, pixelated image shows a pair of rear iPhone shells with a pill-shaped, raised camera bar along the top. On the left side of the bar, there is a circular cutout that appears to be for a single rear camera. On the right side of the bar, there appears to be an LED camera flash and a tiny microphone hole. The ultra-thin “iPhone 17 Air” is the only iPhone 17 model that is expected to have a single rear camera, so the shell could be for that device.
Majin Bu accurately revealed the “Desert Titanium” color name for iPhone 16 Pro models seven months before the devices launched, but some of his information has been wrong, including a rumor about an iPad 11 being imminent in 2023.
An elongated camera bump has been rumored for both the “iPhone 17 Air” and iPhone 17 Pro models, so perhaps this alleged design change will be coming to the entire iPhone 17 lineup. Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 17, the “iPhone 17 Air,” the iPhone 17 Pro, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max in September.
There are already some Android phones with a camera bar, such as Google’s Pixel 9.
