Description:
This might be our closest look yet at the likely design of the iPhone 17 
series, and it's not going down well online.

FULL STORY
======================================================================New 
photos show dummy units of all four expected iPhone 17 models in two 
different colors You can see how slim the iPhone 17 Air might be compared to 
the other models Online reactions to the designs are largely negative 

It seems like were getting new and better looks at the likely design of the 
iPhone 17 series almost every day now, and the latest rumor-fueling photos 
show dummy units of all four models, side by side. 

Shared by @SonnyDickson (via GSMArena ), these images claim to show Apple's 
upcoming phones in both black and white shades, and in both cases, their rear 
panels are a single color, rather than the two-tone design that early leaks 
suggested the iPhone 17 might have. 

This single-color appearance is more likely to be accurate based on recent 
leaks, but either way, the large, redesigned camera blocks you can see below 
will almost certainly make an appearance on the finished phones, since all 
leaks seem to agree on their inclusion. And heres the white one  looks even 
better than the black. pic.twitter.com/b18nh0xBmB April 23, 2025 

You can also see just how slim the iPhone 17 Air is likely to be in some of 
these images, with it appearing substantially thinner than the rest of these 
iPhone 17 series dummy units. 

Of course, as always, it's worth taking these images with a pinch of salt. 
While dummy units can be crafted based on official information from Apple, 
its possible that these were simply created based on rumors about the design 
of these phones. Still, they match up with numerous previous leaks, so we 
expect that theyre somewhat accurate. Making a bad impression 

In which case, it will be interesting to see just how popular  or not  the 
iPhone 17 series is upon its launch later this year, because reactions to 
these images are mixed at best. On Reddit , these designs have been described 
as a monstrosity, so bad, and so ugly, among other things. 

Not every comment is quite so negative, but there seems to be little in the 
way of truly positive reactions. 

Its likely, though, that perceptions will change. For one thing, even if 
these dummy units are broadly accurate, the finished phones will almost 
certainly look more polished. And for another, people will likely get used to 
the changes over time  just like they got used to the notch when that was 
introduced on the iPhone X in 2017, and to the stem on AirPods. 

So, a year from now, most people will probably be used to this new iPhone 
look, and next time Apple redesigns the iPhone, well likely hear people 
wishing it would stay like this. You might also like This iPhone 17 Air dummy
