While everyone is expecting Apple to do something different with the iPhone 17 family this year compared to the iPhone 16, 15, and 14 series, those leaked iPhone 17 Air and 17 Pro Max designs look. pretty rough.
Have you started getting bored with Apple’s repetitive and simply unremarkable iPhone designs? Does it get on your nerves that you spent a small fortune on the cutting-edge iPhone 16 Pro Max only for your friends to constantly confuse your new handset for a 15 Pro Max or, even worse, a 14 Pro Max?
Fret not, as this year’s iPhone 17 Pro Max will reportedly be radically redesigned to more closely resemble the Pixel 9 Pro XL (and, apparently, the Pixel 10 Pro XL too) than its very own predecessor. Okay, I’m definitely exaggerating a little, but the iPhone 17 Air sure looks a lot like the latest Google-made smartphones (at least from the back), which is. a weird gamble for Apple to take all of a sudden.
I know we all wished the iPhone 17 family would look different from the iPhone 16 lineup (and iPhone 15, and iPhone 14), but sometimes, being different is not a good thing. Certainly not when said differences don’t apply to the competition as well.
Obviously, this week’s leaked iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max designs are far from etched in stone, so it would probably be wise of me to expect further confirmation before continuing to trash them.
