And, right on cue, we&#8217;ve got yet another new leak related to the iPhone 17 Air.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-sm-12\">This time the leak consists of a photograph of a series of screen protectors designed to work with Apple&#8217;s iPhone 17 lineup. At first blush, the images aren&#8217;t terribly noteworthy \u2014  that is, until you look at the one for the iPhone 17 Air.&#13;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/64162-133599-leakhead-xl.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/64162-133599-leakhead-xl.jpg\" alt=\"Four smartphone screen protectors labeled IP17, IP17Pro, IP17Air, and IP17Pro Max, arranged from left to right on a light background.\" height=\"738\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"img-responsive article-image\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nImage Credit: Majin Bu<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-sm-12\">It shows that iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max all have their front-facing cameras positioned to the right of the Dynamic Island. The iPhone 17 Air, however, has its selfie camera on the left.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-sm-12\">The images were shared by <a href=\"https:\/\/majinbuofficial.com\/iphone-17-air-why-apple-plans-to-move-the-front-camera-to-the-left\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">known leaker<\/a> Majin Bu, who has a very mixed <a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/22\/09\/26\/iphone-15-ultra-rumored-to-have-two-front-cameras-and-usb-c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">track record<\/a> when it comes to Apple leaks, and a reputation for appropriating leaks on Chinese social media and claiming them as their own. All the same, Bu says the new positioning could &#8220;enhance video call and selfie experiences.&#8221;&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-sm-12\">A questionable claim in the post is that the shift will offer &#8220;new angles and a different interaction&#8221; for users. It won&#8217;t as the difference in angle of incidence is very, very slight. &#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-sm-12\">Realistically, if Apple does move the camera to the left of the Dynamic Island, rather than the right, it will be a far more pragmatic reason. Odds are, if the iPhone 17 Air is as slim as we&#8217;re expecting \u2014  under 6 millimeters \u2014  it&#8217;s likely that the camera would need to be moved to accommodate other modules. &#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-sm-12\">Recently, we encountered another iPhone 17 Air leak \u2014  <a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/25\/06\/23\/iphone-17-airs-resolution-may-have-leaked-in-a-ios-26-wallpaper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this time<\/a> inadvertently provided by Apple itself.
