iPhone 17 Air real machine leaked: big change in horizontal triple-camera design

A real spy photo of what is suspected to be the iPhone 17 Air was exposed today, and the design has undergone major changes.

According to the exposed pictures, the iPhone 17 Air is only equipped with one camera on the back, which is different from the dual-camera setup of the current iPhone 16 .

This adjustment is mainly to achieve the extremely light and thin design of the iPhone 17 Air.

In addition, the position of the rear camera of the iPhone 17 Air will also undergo major changes, moving from the traditional upper left corner to the top center of the back, marking a historic innovation in the iPhone’s camera layout . It is also the only time that the iPhone has made major changes in appearance in the past 6 years .

Despite the reduction in the number of cameras, the main rear camera still has the same 48-megapixel sensor as the iPhone 16.

In addition, the front camera of the entire iPhone 17 series is expected to be upgraded from 12 million pixels to 24 million pixels.

In terms of performance, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to be equipped with an A19 chip instead of an A19 Pro, and is expected to be equipped with 8GB of memory, making it different from the iPhone 17 Pro series.

Although there is not much specific performance information about the A19 chip, Apple is not expected to adopt TSMC’s 2nm process before 2026.

Therefore, the A19 and A19 Pro chips will use an upgraded 3nm process (N3P) to improve performance and efficiency.
