All iPhone 17 models revealed in photos: Ultra-thin Air and TG盗号系统免杀破解技术massive camera block

April 24, 2025  21:30

Insider Sonny Dickson, known for accurate Apple leaks, has shared photos of mockups for the entire iPhone 17lineup, expected in September 2025. The images showcase four models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. These mockups, used by accessory manufacturers, provide the clearest look yet at the upcoming smartphones’ designs. Here’s what the photos reveal, why the iPhone 17 Air stands out, and what changes await the lineup.

What Do the Mockups Show?

Dickson’s photos display mockups in two colors—black and white. The black models are arranged left to right, from the base iPhone 17 to the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The white ones are in reverse order, from Pro Max to the base model. The mockups confirm design rumors circulating since February 2025 and appear to be the most reliable prototypes to date.

Key Features:

• iPhone 17: Resembles the iPhone 16 with a vertical dual-camera setup in a narrow module. The design remains largely unchanged, with a ~6.1-inch screen.
• iPhone 17 Air: The lineup’s star. At just 5.65 mm thick, it’s the thinnest iPhone in Apple’s history. It features a 6.6-inch screen and a single camera in a horizontal module, reminiscent of Google Pixel. This model replaces the iPhone 16 Plus.
• iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max: Equipped with a wide horizontal camera block, the largest in iPhone history. The module includes three lenses, LiDAR, a microphone, and a flash, arranged symmetrically. Screen sizes are 6.3 and 6.9 inches, respectively.

All models retain control buttons: a programmable Action Button, volume buttons, power button, and the new Capture Button introduced with the iPhone 16. The Air and Pro models have thinner bezels, while the Dynamic Island remains unchanged.

Why Is the iPhone 17 Air a Breakthrough?

The iPhone 17 Air, previously dubbed “Slim,” is stealing the spotlight. Its ultra-thin 5.65 mm body (vs. 7.8 mm for the iPhone 16) results from new manufacturing techniques that Apple may later apply to a foldable iPhone in 2026. Despite its slimness, the Air offers:

• Display: 6.6-inch AMOLED with 120 Hz ProMotion and up to 2000 nits brightness.
• Camera: Single 48 MP lens supporting 4K video recording.
• Chip: A19 (non-Pro), balancing performance and efficiency.
• Battery: Comparable to the iPhone 16 due to optimized power management.

However, the thin design carries risks: Apple scrapped a 6.9-inch version, fearing the device might bend. X users are debating: “The Air looks like a dream, but will it snap in my pocket?” The Air’s expected price is ~$900, matching the iPhone 16 Plus.

New Camera Design: Pixel Inspiration?

The most striking change in the iPhone 17 Proand Pro Maxis the horizontal camera block, similar to the Google Pixel 6–9. Spanning nearly the full width of the phone, it houses three 48 MP lenses (main, ultrawide, and periscope telephoto with 5x zoom) and supports 8K video recording. The new module likely enhances optics and spatial video capture. The iPhone 17 Air also features a horizontal “camera bar” with one lens, while the base iPhone 17 retains the iPhone 16’s familiar design.

X reactions are mixed: “The Pro cameras look powerful, but this Pixel style isn’t Apple,” some write. Others are excited: “Finally something fresh! 48 MP across all lenses is top-tier.”

How Reliable Is the Leak?

Sonny Dickson is a trusted insider with a track record of accurate leaks since the iPhone 5C. His mockups, based on supply chain schematics, typically reflect final designs. In April 2025, he accurately revealed iPhone 16 dimensions, and now his iPhone 17 photos align with CAD renders from insider Majin Bu and Bloomberg reports. This gives 99% confidence that the design is final, though Apple may make minor tweaks before September.

What Else to Expect from iPhone 17?

Beyond design, rumors suggest:

• ProMotion for All: 120 Hz displays will become standard across the lineup.
• Wi-Fi 7: Faster data transfer, as seen in the Vivo T4.
• Aluminum Frame: Pro models will switch from titanium to aluminum to reduce weight.
• iOS 19: Enhanced Apple Intelligence with AI features similar to xAI’s Grok Vision.

Connections to other news: The Air’s thin body uses technologies akin to the BlueVolt battery in the Vivo T4, and its AI cameras could rival the image analysis in Xiaomi Mijia S800 smart scales. In Xiong’an, such devices are integrated into smart homes via 10G networks.

What’s Next?

Apple will unveil the iPhone 17 in September 2025, and based on leaks, it promises one of the most diverse lineups in years. Dickson’s mockups confirm Apple’s focus on thinness, powerful cameras, and feature unification. Some X fans are skeptical: “Too many models—where’s the innovation of 2007?” Others are eager for the Air: “5.65 mm is like recapturing the iPhone 4’s magic.”

As we await the launch, Apple is preparing more surprises: a foldable iPhone in 2026 and an all-glass iPhone for the series’ 20th anniversary in 2027. What do you think of the iPhone 17’s new design? Share in the comments!
