Apple's iPhone 17 series dummies sized-up in metal molds

Ivan, 17 March 2025

Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 series has just been laid out in the form of pre-production metal molds. They show off the iPhone 17 Pro Max (or Ultra?), the iPhone 17 Pro, the iPhone 17 Air, and the base iPhone 17. The molds are provided by somewhat reliable Apple leakster Sonny Dickson on X.

The molds are typically made so that third-party casemakers can have something to work with.

We can see from the molds that the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro models will continue to share the same size (149.6mm tall) and likely the same 6.3-inch diagonal. The iPhone 17 Air is taller than both at 156mm. Its camera bump is also the most pronounced, expected given its rumored thinness.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is the biggest, naturally.

All four models have MagSafe on the back. All four models also have the same button layout - two volume buttons and a Mute Switch on the left, an Action Button, and a Camera Control key on the right.

whats the point of a thin phone with a large camera island?

These are seriously ugly designs, with the possible exception of the regular 17 which looks like the current 16. I thought the 'stove' camera array was a low point, but these are even worse!
