The iPhone 17 is nearing its final production stages,suggesting that recent leaked images are likely accurate.
This development indicates that the leaks we’ve seen, including the one above, are credible. The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air have reportedly finished the Engineering Validation Testing (EVT) phase. This means critically important changes to their designs are unlikely at this point.
According to a report from DigiTimes shared by MacRumours, Apple has successfully completed this crucial testing phase.
Updates on iPhone 17 Production
What does this mean for consumers? When Apple reaches a specific point in production—like now—it’s rare for any major adjustments to occur before mass production begins.
While EVT is complete, two more phases remain: Design Validation Test (DVT) and Production Validation Test (PVT). Though, these later stages typically allow only for minor tweaks if needed.
This suggests that the leaked images we’ve encountered so far may closely resemble what will be unveiled at the launch event in September.
Design of the iPhone 17 Air
One of the moast frequently seen leaked images shows an iPhone 17 Air featuring a single camera lens on its back and an extended design.In contrast, both the standard iPhone 17 and Pro models are expected to include multiple cameras. The Air version seems to focus on simplicity in its design.
Features of the iPhone 17 Air
Current leaks indicate that we can anticipate some exciting features for the iPhone 17 Air. It is expected to come with a single rear camera boasting a resolution of 48 megapixels along with an impressive selfie camera rated at 24 megapixels.
The device will likely run on Apple's A19 chip built using advanced technology based on a three-nanometer process and could include up to an amazing 12GB of RAM.
