The whole iPhone 17 lineup has appeared in dummy form in a new video from Sam Kohl and AppleTrack.
While Kohl says upfront that what he's showing us are only mockups of all four phones in a white colorway, this is still a great way to check out this year's upcoming iPhone models, including the iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, and their alleged changes.
The iPhone 17 Air appears first with its impressive thinness. Even if it's only armed with a single 48MP camera on the back, Kohl shows that, compared to the iPhone 16 Pro, the Air is nearly half as thick, while still offering a large 6.6-inch display. Perhaps by being so technically impressive, the iPhone 17 Air will capture the public's attention in a way that Plus or mini iPhones of the past have not been able to.
Kohl also points out the iPhone 17 Air's off-center USB-C port, which is closer to the back of the phone than the front due to the display circuitry taking up more space in the shrunken design. There are also fewer speaker holes on the Air's bottom edge, which could indicate worse audio than the other iPhone 17 models.
We then move on to the new Pro and Pro Max models. Both of these have new camera blocks that cover the whole width of the phone, just like the Air, except with three cameras instead of one. Those cameras are still in the same place and triangular arrangement, but the flash and LiDAR sensor are now on the far side. The new block is supposedly there to help add a 48MP sensor to the telephoto camera, currently the only Pro iPhone rear camera still using a 12MP sensor.
Kohl notes that there isn't any sign of leaked changes, such as a new MagSafe cutout, a unibody design or aluminum sides (replacing the titanium of current Pros) on these dummies. But that could be due to their construction or the leaked schematics underpinning them, rather than those older leaks not being accurate
The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max still measure 6.3 and 6.9 inches, like the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max we have now. Their button layouts aren't any different on the dummies either, and while it's hard to tell on a model without a functional screen, the Dynamic Island notch doesn't seem to have changed at all either.
Finally, there's the iPhone 17 base model, which looks a lot different from the other new iPhones since it lacks the new wider camera bump. In fact, it still looks basically identical to the iPhone 16. Hopefully, some internal specs and color options will change, but otherwise, it seems Apple is only planning minor changes to the vanilla iPhone for 2025.
Whether you're interested in the new iPhone 17 Air, the upgraded iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max or the plain old iPhone 17, we've got rumor hubs for them so you can study up on what the rumors and leaks have revealed so far. And we'll continue adding info to them right up until these phones launch, which, unless we hear differently, should be at Apple's habitual time of early September.

iPhone Battery Draining Fast? Here's 8 iPhone Battery Tips to Make it Last All Day
A brand-new iPhone can easily last all day, but that wanes over time as parts age. But newer software takes its toll too, as the latest iOS 18 software and apps, including Apple Intelligence AI, can drain them quickly. Shooting photos and videos, playing games and watching shows and movies can deplete the battery, too. But before you consider buying a new Apple phone, like the new iPhone 16 or the more affordable iPhone 16E, give these battery hacks a try to make your long-lived iPhone a bit more daytime before needing to recharge it. Some of the causes of battery drain are easy to control, like features turned on by default that can be switched off. Others might require a lifestyle change as you switch up how you use your iPhone throughout the day, breaking habits and going without some minor perks. In all cases, it's helpful to keep a pocketable power bank in your pocket or bag just in case. Here are eight tips for diagnosing and extending your iPhone's battery life. 1. Find what's draining your battery Celso Some apps drain more of your iPhone's battery than others, and it's no surprise that the biggest offenders are those that track location, stream video or generate graphics (games, for example, especially fast-paced online ones). If it makes your phone heat up a bit, it's probably running down your battery faster than casual use. There's a way to specifically check which apps are draining your battery the most. Head to Settings > Battery and scroll down to see which apps are the worst culprits for taking the biggest percentage of your screen time. Also, don't skip the Insights and Suggestions section, as it does all the analysis for you and shows you which apps and settings to change. Note that these are the biggest uses of your battery, but you'll have to parse through them to see which are big battery drainers, like YouTube or TikTok. In my case, Safari takes the biggest chunk of my use, which represents a lot of endless scrolling of sites and forums -- but YouTube is in second. 2. Drop the battery-draining apps Robert Rodriguez/CNET Let's face it -- whether it's Instagram, TikTok or something else, one or two apps are probably draining an outsized chunk of your battery every day. If you want longer battery life, remove the app by long-pressing its icon on the Home Screen and clicking the "x" in the corner. Yes, you could try to limit your use before wiping these apps from your phone. If you believe in your willpower, you could just stick the offending app in a folder to keep it out of sight, out of mind. But if you need some help from your iPhone itself, you can set a time limit for individual apps or whole categories. Go to Settings > Screen Time and tap App Limits. From there tap the Add Limit button to select by entire categories or specific apps. 3: Turn down your screen brightness Patrick Holland/CNET You can save battery by turning down your iPhone screen's brightness. This one's pretty easy: tap-and-drag from the top-right corner to bring up the Control Panel and manually lower the brightness bar. Alternatively, you can find these controls in Settings > Display & Brightness or if you prefer to be verbose, you can ask Siri to reduce the brightness. While you're in the Display & Brightness sub-menu, tap Auto-Lock to set your phone to have a shorter time before locking itself. That way you won't be draining battery if you put your phone down and paying attention to something else. 4: Turn on Low Power Mode Apple's Low Power Mode helps conserve iPhone battery life. Sarah Tew/CNET Whenever you dip below 20% battery, your iPhone will ask if you want to extend your remaining battery life by turning on Low Power Mode. But you can also manually activate it at any time, either by opening up the Control Panel (if a shortcut has been set there) or by going to Settings > Battery and switching it on there. Low Power Mode is a catch-all setting that ekes out more battery life by reducing drain from several active and passive sources. It dials down background activity like downloads and mail fetching, lowers the screen brightness; as well as turns off the Always On Display. 5: If your 5G signal is bad, switch to 4G LTE d3sign / Getty Images While carriers have built out their 5G networks over the years, some phone owners will struggle to get a strong signal in areas with poor coverage -- or in places 5G struggles to reach, like within buildings and underground. Your iPhone burns a lot of battery trying to stay connected, so if you don't have a great connection, it might be best to manually revert to 4G LTE. To do so, head to Settings > Cellular, then tap on Cellular Data Options. If you don't see Cellular Data Options, select the SIM or eSIM that you're currently using. On the next screen, tap Voice & Data and select LTE. You'll only use 4G LTE to connect to mobile networks, which should be more widely available among carriers. You should also be aware that downloading data drains battery, too, so manually restricting that could extend your battery life. To do so, head to Settings > Cellular, then tap on Cellular Data Options. If you don't see Cellular Data Options, tap on the SIM or eSIM that you're currently using. On the next screen, tap Data Mode then tap Low Data Mode, which will pause automatic updates and background tasks. 6: Selectively disable location services Sarah Tew/CNET Tracking your location drains battery, so turning it off when possible is a good idea if you don't need it. Triangulating your position actually takes multiple sensors, so it's not an insignificant amount of battery saved -- your iPhone uses GPS, Bluetooth, and crowdsourced Wi-Fi to narrow down where you are. To see which apps track your location, tap Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and tap through to tweak each individually. But you can also turn off Location Services entirely with the toggle at the top of the screen. It's worth nothing that Location Services are required for Apple's Find My feature, so if you want to track down another object linked to your account, you'll need Location Services turned on. Likewise, you'll need it turned on if you ever lose the iPhone you're using, so make sure to reactivate it later. 7: Turn off Always On Display You can also turn off your lock screen's wallpaper to make the iPhone 14 Pro's always-on display black. Patrick Holland/CNET Introduced in the iPhone 14 Pro series in 2023 and only available on the newest Pro and Pro Max models, Always On Display does what it says: It keeps a dimmed version of your lock screen on. This allows you to check the time, on-screen widgets and how many notifications you have without needing to fully unlock your phone. But it also saps your battery by having that low-light version of your display constantly activated. If you can live without having that quick info at a glance, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Always On Display and turn it off. It may not be a huge power saver, but it's one of the features on the newer iPhone Pro models that seemingly counteracts any battery increase Apple ekes out of the phones. Under the Always On Display settings, you can also disable the Wallpaper and Notifications for a more minimal version that only shows the date and time against a black background. 8: Install a new battery A new battery can go a long way toward making your phone feel like new. iFixit Over years of use, your iPhone's battery will degrade and it simply won't be able to hold as much juice as it could when brand-new. Thankfully Apple has made it easy to check how your battery is doing -- just go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health and you'll get an easy diagnosis, an estimate of its maximum capacity on a full charge and how many full recharge cycles it's gone through. Now Playing: iPhone 16 Review: All About the Buttons 10:04 Apple generally recommends replacing your battery when it dips below 80% maximum capacity. Keep in mind that it's not just the maximum battery life that might suffer if you don't swap out for a new battery -- the quality might degrade so much that the battery itself could swell and warp enough to damage sensors and internal parts of the iPhone -- which is rare. Apple offers in-store battery replacement for $99 for the newest iPhone 15 models, which drops down to a minimum of $69 for the oldest iPhone SE and iPhone 5 models the company still supports. Third-party phone repair shops may offer their own rates for replacing batteries, and iFixit has a guide if you want to boldly order a new battery and attempt the swap yourself -- just keep in mind that it may violate any AppleCare agreement if you go outside Apple's repair ecosystem.

Apple Leaves Behind Another MacBook Air
Newly redesigned MacBook Air laptops are seen displayed during the WWDC at Apple Park on June 06, ... More 2022 kicked off the annual WWDC22 developer conference. (Photo by) With the next version of macOS expected to debut during WWDC 20205 in June, Apple will leave behind several older deskbound Macs and the MacBook Air. That will leave a handful of Intel-powered Macs still able to run the latest version of macOS. This is expected to be the MacBook Pro models from 2019 onwards, iMacs from 2020 onwards and Mac Pros from 2019 onwards. Naturally, all of the Apple Silicon-powered Mac hardware remain current. It's worth noting that while the professionally focused Intel Macs remain inside the support window, Apple has removed the consumer-focused MacBook Air. Given the comparatively low processing power of their Intel Core chipsets and the heavy demands being placed on modern computing thanks to generative AI and other processor-intensive artificial intelligence techniques, the MacBook Airs have finally passed the point where they simply can't accommodate Apple's vision of a modern operating system. Even the 2020 MacBook Pro laptops will be struggling and owners should expect this to be the last update they will see. This speaks to Apple's decision to introduce Apple Silicon across the full range of Mac hardware. Back in 2020, the increased power and performance of the M1 saw the entry-level MacBook Air leap ahead of the Intel-powered competition. That advantage has been clawed back now, but it allows Apple to fully support those older machines with the upcoming version of macOS. It has taken time, but Tim Cook and his team are close to ending their dependency on Intel and the excess resources required to support two platforms in macOS. One more year, and the focus can be 100 percent on its own proprietary platform and leverage all the advantages that this offers. Now read the latest MacBook Air, MacOS and iPhone headlines in Forbes' weekly Apple news digest...

Apple Watch, Fitbit rival stuns with bold message
Every once in a while, I love flipping someone the bird. Not in a road-rage kind of way - more like a quick, sarcastic "you've got to be kidding me" gesture to a friend. A wink wrapped in rebellion. Almost always followed by a laugh. There's something strangely satisfying about how universal it is. One finger, no explanation needed. It's a little bit edgy, a little bit absurd - and totally human. Related: Apple and Fitbit face new challenge in the fitness space So when a health tech company built an entire campaign around the idea of "giving them the finger," I had to look twice. Then I watched the ad. The visuals are simple but striking. Real people doing real things: playing piano, hiking mountaintops, dancing tango. They wear the brand's product proudly on their index fingers. But this isn't about gadgets or step counts. It's about something deeper. What starts out looking like another sleek wearable ad suddenly hits you with a message that feels rare in the wellness space: a celebration of aging, intention, and showing up. And while I'm still at the ripe age of 31, I felt this ad - in all the right ways. Image source: Oura The brand behind the message is Oura - maker of the discreet, data-rich smart ring that competes with Apple Watch and Fitbit. Their new campaign, titled "Give Us the Finger," is a bold play on both language and values. It nods to the ring's strategic placement on the index finger, where it captures more consistent health data. It's also a quiet rebellion against the age-obsessed, perfection-driven culture that dominates the wellness industry. The ad doesn't lean on young influencers or professional athletes. Instead, it features everyday people immersed in moments of strength, skill, and focus. Related: Oura launches genius features to take on Apple, Fitbit, and Whoop And the campaign is narrated with intention, not to highlight hacks or high scores, but to emphasize vitality, presence, and clarity as we age. "Give Us the Finger" becomes a rallying cry - a cheeky but earnest invitation to wear your commitment to health in a place people can see. And just like that, the bird becomes a badge. Oura isn't just selling a wearable. It's trying to redefine how we talk about aging, and it could pay off big. According to McKinsey & Company, nearly half of surveyed consumers have bought a fitness wearable, and 70% in the U.S. and UK say they've spent more on healthy aging over the past year. People are investing in tools to feel better, longer. Oura is positioning itself right at the heart of that shift. Rather than chasing trends or flashy features, the company is doubling down on purpose. With sleep, recovery, and readiness insights, Oura focuses on building long-term habits. It's a different pitch than Apple or Fitbit, and I am here for it. In a crowded space filled with sameness, "Give Us the Finger" actually says something: aging isn't something to fear, but something to wear with pride.
