Can we stop ignoring the camera bump when talking about its thickness? If it's 0.1mm thick except for a 1cm thick camera bump, it's a 1cm thick phone, not 0.1mm thick.
Please and thank you.

I have seen many renders of this so called air phone and i plan staying far a way from this phone not a big fan of only having one camera on the back👎🏻
Maybe Apple has a trick up its sleeve like a mechanical aperture or something that makes this camera more capable than some of us think.
You’ll be holding the phone on the lower half not by the camera.
we consider girls slim/thin and has big watemelons.
Super thin, it feels great in the hand, ooooohhhh feel the quality... We all then put it into a case and never look at the back and sides again until we sell it.
Ever since I saw this particular render, the idea of a small screen under the black glass on right side hit me. It could work similar to the Dynamic Island for alerts when the phone is face down. I'm getting Touch Bar vibes with all that unused glass area.
Or (drum roll...)
Guess what else would fit perfectly in that space? Widgets! Okay, it might be a little small for the Air with the height of only one lens, but imagine the bigger height needed by the 3 lenses on the Pro versions of the phone. Perfect!

Pixel ripoff, shows Apple can't come up with its own unique design. Having said that I kinda like the black glass bar except we're in 2025 and there's no need for an extra bump just for the lens.
I fail to see the point of "ultra thin." Phones are thin enough the way they are. No one cares if they "save" another 2 millimeters. In fact, if I could get more battery life I would like a phone 2 mm thicker than my 16 Pro Max.
But as I reflect, maybe this is really a prototype for the thinness needed for a foldable phone. But still, I think that is a manufacturing Beta and consumers are not going to care one bit about 2mm.

LOL...this can't possibly be the real design for it, right? It's basically a Google Pixel knock-off!!
In the past, when the iPhone 17 Pro was reportedly leaked by Majin Bu or whatever, Mark Gurman came in quickly and confirmed that the leak was a fake:
The “iPhone 17 Pro” renders on YouTube tonight appear to be based on this fake late January sketch.
I am willing to bet top dollar that this is another one of those "fake" leaks.

The design seems to be good. A single camera only is disappointing. Would have liked to have two cameras like the S25 edge. Other than that the new iPhone seems like it will be a good one.
Also - when has Jon Prosser every been correct with regards to iPhone designs? All I remember from the recent past is that he has been incorrect on the iPhone designs! Am I wrong?
This is much about creating a new product line as it is about finding a way for Apple to seriously increase the price of the pro line. Make no mistake folks the Pro will jump in price considerably.
If Apple's historical excuse for the giant camera tumor is that it's there to accommodate the giant camera modules, what's the excuse for that stupid bar sticking out that far while extending all the way across the phone?
I sure hope that's not what it looks like. But it wouldn't be surprising given the absence of Jony Ive.
