The forthcoming iPhone 17 Air from Apple boasts impressive features, but it also presents a significant limitation: it will feature only one rear camera. However, our initial glimpse at a case for the iPhone 17 Air reveals that Apple intends to spotlight this camera with a striking design approach.
Camera bar takes center stage in iPhone 17 Air case leak
In a fresh post on X, Dickson revealed an image of a case that accentuates the iPhone 17 Air’s camera bar style.
A closer inspection of the sides reveals that the case accommodates the standard volume buttons, the Action Button, the Side Button, and the Camera Control specific to the iPhone 17 Air.
In terms of notable features, the prominent camera bar cutout at the top stands out significantly.
The reason behind Apple’s decision to implement a camera bar design for the iPhone 17 Air, despite utilizing a single rear camera, remains uncertain.
For context, the iPhone 16e opts for a more traditional approach, positioning its single camera in the upper corner like most iPhones.
Based on observations from dummy models, it appears that the flash will be located to the right of the camera bar, with the camera sensor situated on the left. It will be intriguing to discern whether Apple’s daring design choice will yield other functional advantages this fall.
