One of the most highly-anticipated products set to launch this year has been Apple’s ultra-thin iPhone (no official name has been announced, but we’ll just call it the “iPhone 17 Air”). This upcoming smartphone is expected to be Apple’s thinnest smartphone yet at just 5.5mm at its thinnest point, beating the iPhone 6’s thinness at 6.9mm.
Yesterday, the YouTube channel Front Page Tech, hosted by Jon Prosser, published a video that allegedly reveals the design for the said smartphone, and those concepts seem to match with the alleged “iPhone 17 Air” chassis that was allegedly leaked by Majin Bu.

At first glance, it looks more like a Google Pixel phone with an all-new camera bar across the top edge of the rear shell, flanked by a single lens camera and a microphone/LED camera flash array. To see for yourself, you can watch the video below:
Of course, we’re over six months away until Apple usually announces the new lineup of iPhones in September, so design specs are subject to change. For what it’s worth, I hope the camera bar will be color-matched to the back of the upcoming “iPhone 17 Air”, similar to the camera systems on Apple’s lineup of iPhones and iPad Pros.
