Rumored Design Changes for iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max
New leaks hint at a return to the triangular camera setup for Apple’s upcoming flagship models.
A recent supply chain leak has provided insights into the potential design of the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro. Initial rumors suggested the device would feature a Pixel-like camera visor, sparking comparisons with Google’s Pixel 9 Pro. However, a new report from China by leakster InstantDigital claims that this design will not make it to the final product. Instead, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to feature the familiar triangular camera setup, though with a refreshed overall aesthetic.
Speculation regarding the back design of these flagship models indicates changes that avoid the traditional camera island while preserving Apple’s iconic camera arrangement. Despite the claims, the source of this rumor has a mixed history, with correct predictions like the yellow iPhone 14, the frosted back glass of the iPhone 15 series, and details about the Apple Watch Series 9 and M4 iPad Pros, alongside inaccuracies.
Additionally, earlier rumors suggesting a shift back to aluminum frames for the iPhone 17 Pro series have been contested by recent information indicating the continued use of titanium frames. As with most leaks, these details remain unverified and should be interpreted cautiously until official announcements are made.
