Majin Bu provides iPhone 17 glimpse

Majin Bu's tech leaks suggest that Apple is set to borrow a lot of design from its rival Google and incorporate them in their own design choices, including the slimmed-down iPhone 17 Air, as per reports. Three of the device renders that Majin Bu posted had rectangular camera bars across the back, that had an eerie similarity to Google Pixel's handsets. An X user even said that the leaked Apple iPhone 17 glimpse looked simply like a copy of the google pixel 9 lineup, something that has shocked Apple enthusiasts across the globe.

Doubts about the iPhone 17 Air design choice

Some are even doubtful about the design choices by Apple and why they chose such a design for the iPhone 17 Air in the first place.
