Apple is preparing for a revolutionary launch with the iPhone 17 series, featuring a slim, ultra-slim model and a major design change. Although the tech giant has not yet made announcements, rumors and speculations are overflowing on the web, providing hints about what to anticipate from the new lineup.

The iPhone 17 Pro series is said to be going through a massive design overhaul. Leaked renders have already revealed an expanded camera module with an aluminium coating. But the placement of the camera lenses is the same as its predecessor. In another leak by well-known tipster IceUniverse, it was revealed that the iPhone 17 Pro Max would be much thicker than the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Pro Max thickness causes eyebrows to rise

As per reports, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is slated to experience an uptick in thickness, moving from 8.25mm to 8.725mm. The modification may not go down well with customers who seek a slimmer model. Conversely, the new iPhone 17 Air will maintain the same size as the Pro Max but will differentiate itself with a whopping 5.5mm thickness, one of Apple's thinnest phones ever. This incredibly thin phone will be sure to create a stir and fuel consumer interest.

With this remarkable change in form factor, the iPhone 17 Air is set to be a game changer, possibly eclipsing the Pro Max variant. While Apple makes preparations for its formal unveiling, technology fans eagerly look forward to official news on these thrilling developments.
