Leaked renders also show a rear camera housing design that bears a resemblance to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-pixel-9-3365966\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixel<\/a> series, and Google has now poked fun at this rumored design in a new video.<\/p>\n<p>Google <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=A26C66LX2AA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posted another video<\/a> in its #BestPhonesForever series, which features an iPhone and a Pixel phone having a conversation. The new clip, titled \u201cResponding to the Rumors,\u201d sees the Pixel phone talk about the iPhone 17 Air\u2019s leaked design.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a lot of rumors circulating about iPhone\u2019s upcoming redesign,\u201d says the Pixel phone, while showing a screenshot of a headline comparing a leaked iPhone 17 series design to a Pixel.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think the iPhone 17 Air looks like a Pixel phone?<\/p>\n<p>67 votes<\/p>\n<p>Yes, for sure<\/p>\n<p>84%<\/p>\n<p>No, it doesn&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p>16%<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s crazy. Can you imagine me doing the same thing you did first years later?\u201d the iPhone responds. However, it also caveats the response by pointing out a stream of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/best-pixel-features-explained-3217987\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixel features<\/a> later adopted by Apple. These features include night mode, widgets, and Magic Eraser.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyway, we want to remind everyone that these rumors are just rumors,\u201d the Pixel says before the iPhone repeats the line verbatim.<\/p>\n<p>A familiar camera design<\/p>\n<p>For what it\u2019s worth, leaked images show the iPhone 17 Air\u2019s rear camera design does indeed resemble the Pixel line\u2019s. The camera bar has been a fixture on Pixels since 2021\u2019s Pixel 6 series. In fact, the camera bar\/visor also appeared on 2015\u2019s Nexus 6P. Check out the comparison below, pitting the apparently leaked Apple design against the Pixel 9 Pro.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_oh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"iPhone 17 Air leak\"  alt=\"iPhone 17 Air leak\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/iPhone-17-Air-leak.jpeg\"\/><img class=\"e_oh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google pixel 9 pro revisit 13\"  alt=\"Someone holding the Google Pixel 9 Pro outside.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/google-pixel-9-pro-revisit-13-scaled.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s also worth noting that Google and other Android OEMs have copied Apple in the last few years by offering phones with flat edges. Apple wasn\u2019t the first to offer a phone with flat sides, as devices like 2014\u2019s Galaxy Alpha also had this design. But the iPhone maker certainly popularized the feature in recent years. So copying design elements isn\u2019t exactly a one-way street.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a tip?
