Apple’s upcoming launch event will be held at its headquarters, Apple Park, in California, where the company will showcase the highly anticipated iPhone 17 series.
Leaks regarding the iPhone 17 lineup have been circulating for months, revealing most of the expected features. Among the highlights of this year’s release is the introduction of the iPhone 17 Air, set to become Apple’s thinnest-ever smartphone.
The iPhone 17 Air will reportedly replace the iPhone 16 Plus and is expected to feature a single rear camera, likely with a 48-megapixel sensor.
Industry leaks suggest that the iPhone 17 Air will attract consumers primarily due to its sleek and ultra-thin design, as its features are expected to be largely similar to the standard model.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to see a major redesign of their rear cameras – a significant change considering Apple has made little to no alterations to its iPhone camera design since the launch of the iPhone 11 in 2020.
