We’re just around 132 days from the iPhone 17 announcement, but it feels like we’ve had access to all its features for ages. This is mainly because we’ve seen countless leaks, including designs, dummy units, and even cases that make the new phone look lifelike.
Recently, Sam Kohl from AppleTrack shared a video showcasing these dummy models. He compared versions of the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. With the detail in these replicas, it wouldn’t be surprising to see working models that run iOS 19 as early as May.
Interestingly, the specs discussed in Sam’s video mirror what we can expect come September. Notably, the dummy units look a bit warped, which could spark debate about Apple’s focus on sleekness and thin designs.
If the iPhone 17 Air turns out as impressive as these models suggest, it will certainly stand out this fall. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are also expected to feature a prominent camera bar, making them instantly recognizable. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 is rumored to have a similar look to the current iPhone 16.
It’s fascinating to see how far dummy models have come. A decade ago, they often looked quite different from the final products. Today’s models are incredibly convincing, highlighting Apple’s advancements in design and manufacturing.
Adding to this buzz, a recent survey from TechRadar shows that 70% of potential buyers are excited about the iPhone 17, particularly its rumored camera upgrades. Social media is also buzzing with users sharing their hopes for features like enhanced battery life and improved video capabilities.
