Following recent leaked renders of the Apple iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Air, tipster @SonnyDickson decided to share purported CADs of the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Air.
The iPhone 17 CAD appears to show no design difference from the iPhone 16. This suggests that there could only be specs upgrade for the iPhone 17.

The Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max CAD lines up with the recent render of the redesigned camera bump, which shows a wide horizontal camera bar design on the rear.

As for the ultra-thin model of the lineup, the CAD of the Apple iPhone 17 Air shows a single camera on the rear, which corroborates reports of Apple favouring a slim form factor over more cameras. The Apple iPhone 17 Air also adopts the wide horizontal camera bar design.
We are curious to know the rationale behind Apple's rumoured move to adopt the wide horizontal bar design. Is it to accommodate bigger camera lenses? Or is it simply the new design language for the iPhone from this year?
