It doesn’t make sense, not with how Apple figured out how to pump a little two-for-one camera into the iPhone 16e. Granted, that’s an “economical” or “essential” model, whatever you want to call it, and it’s not indicative of what’s coming from the next generation.

In total, the iPhone 17 series is expected to include four models: the standard iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and a new addition, the iPhone 17 Air. The iPhone 17 Air is likely to replace the Plus variant and is rumored to be one of the thinnest iPhones Apple has ever made,

Apple is several months away from launching the iPhone 17 series but a significant camera redesign may be on the horizon. Leaker Majin Bu has shared CAD renders of what are purported to be the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and the rumored iPhone 17 Air — with the latter three all featuring Pixel-like rectangular camera bars.
