The upcoming iPhone 17 series is shaping up to be one of Apple’s most visually diverse lineups yet, particularly when it comes to the design of the back panels. As Apple’s timeline stands, no new iPhone launches are expected until later this year, following the mid-February debut of the iPhone 16e. However, recent leaks indicate that the designs for the next-generation iPhones have already been finalized.
The YouTube channel iDeviceHelp has recently released a video featuring 3D-printed dummy units representing all four of the rumored iPhone 17 models. Collaborating with tech enthusiast Majin Bu, the video suggests there will be minimal changes in visual design between the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 17. Interestingly, the thickness of the iPhone 17 appears to remain consistent with its predecessor, measuring around 7.28 mm.
On the other hand, more significant design updates seem to be in store for the Pro and Pro Max models of the iPhone 17. Noteworthy changes include a larger camera housing. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to have a thickness of approximately 8.3 mm, a detail that contradicts recent rumors.
The iPhone 17 Air also gets its share of attention in the video, particularly with its notably thick physical buttons that closely match the thickness of the device itself. Additionally, there’s a mention that Apple’s first iPhone model might have a sleek and slim profile, measuring only about 5.5 mm thick.
Overall, these insights offer a glimpse into the exciting design features and variants of the forthcoming iPhone 17 series, promising a range of choices for Apple enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the next big release.
