Adding to the excitement, another well-known leaker, Majin Boo, who created a 3D-printed mockup based on CAD designs. This model was compared side-by-side with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, highlighting the new phone’s slim frame.
Feature-wise, the iPhone 17 Air seems to have similar button placements to current iPhones and a USB-C port. The front is expected to feature Dynamic Island and Face ID. We’ll have to wait until Q3 2025 to see how accurate these renders are, as that’s when Apple usually unveils its latest flagship iPhones.
With the news of Samsung’s own sleek smartphone, the Galaxy S25 Edge, it looks like Apple and Samsung are gearing up for a showdown in the world of ultra-thin devices.
