Apple Camera

Apple has redefined how users interact with their iPhones, particularly through the innovative Camera Control on the iPhone 16. While it may look like a recessed button, Apple executives are careful to insist that it is anything but.

Apple’s next iPhone lineup, the iPhone 17 series, is reportedly set to bring significant design changes, with rumors swirling around the rear camera setup for the iPhone 17 Pro. Expected to launch in September 2025, early leaks have begun to shed light on a bold new design direction.

Apple has named Kino Pro Video Camera the coveted “App of the Year” for 2024, a recognition typically reserved for popular games or productivity apps. This year, however, Apple chose a tool aimed at creatives, highlighting the app’s ability to elevate iPhone video recording to professional levels.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 series may look very different from the current iPhone 16 models, according to leaked images and reports. The most notable change could be the introduction of a radically redesigned rear camera module.

Recent leaks indicate that the iPhone 17 series, expected to launch in 2025, could feature a significantly different design compared to current iPhone models. A recent post on Weibo by trusted tipster Digital Chat Station revealed that at least one version of the iPhone 17 might adopt a new horizontal camera bar.

Recent rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro, set for release in 2025, could see a significant overhaul of its rear camera design, drawing inspiration from the Google Pixel series. According to a leak from a Chinese supply chain insider, the iPhone 17 Pro’s camera module will feature a rectangular aluminum bump, marking a departure from the current design that uses traditional 3D glass.

A well-known leaker has suggested that the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro will feature a horizontal, side-by-side camera layout, a design initially rumored for the iPhone 16 but ultimately not adopted. This new configuration is expected to better support spatial video across all three lenses, and if the leak proves accurate, it will align the iPhone 17 Pro with similar camera layouts seen in recent Android phones, including Google’s Pixel 9 Pro.

A new leak from a Chinese Weibo user offers a glimpse into the upcoming iPhone 17’s potential redesign, suggesting a shift in the phone’s iconic camera bump. The leak includes an image of the phone’s frame, which shows a new centered camera island.

Recent leaks have provided an early glimpse into the design direction for Apple’s next generation of smartphones, the iPhone 17 series, just months after the launch of the iPhone 16. According to reports from the Chinese tech site Gizmochina, the rear panel of the iPhone 17 could see significant changes, particularly in the camera module.

Apple is preparing to launch the next iteration of its budget-friendly iPhone SE, with the iPhone SE 4 set for a March 2025 release. Early reports suggest this model will feature several significant upgrades, potentially making it one of the most advanced budget smartphones on the market.
