The upcoming iPhone 17 series is expected to feature a larger 6.3-inch display for the regular model, an upgraded 24-megapixel front camera, and a unique repositioning of the Face ID sensor on the iPhone 17 Air, which may also have thinner bezels and a more compact Dynamic Island. These changes suggest significant design updates and potential new features for Apple's next flagship release.
The upcoming iPhone 17 series is expected to feature a larger 6.3-inch display for the standard model, matching the Pro version, and a front-facing camera upgrade from 12MP to 24MP. Notably, the iPhone 17 Air will have a unique front camera and Face ID sensor layout, with the camera repositioned to the left, potentially allowing for a more compact Dynamic Island in future models.
A screen protector leak suggests the upcoming iPhone 17 Air may feature a redesigned front camera positioned to the left of the Dynamic Island, possibly due to its ultra-thin design, with an official explanation expected at Apple's September announcement.
Leaked information suggests that the iPhone 18 Pro will maintain current display sizes but introduce significant design changes, including under-display Face ID and a smaller, possibly top-left positioned front camera using HIAA technology, marking a major shift in iPhone front design.
The Sony Xperia 1 VI is rumored to match the display size of the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max, potentially making it the largest Xperia 1 ever. To achieve this without making the phone unwieldy, Sony may introduce an ultra-micro-hole or micro-matrix front camera technology, allowing for a smaller top bezel while maintaining a front-facing camera system that doesn't disrupt the display. This technology was previously expected for the Xperia 1 V but didn't materialize.
