The design of the iPhone 17 series that will be published later this year will be considered considerably by Apple. This is what we know now.
New design for the iPhone 17 series
There have been rumors for a long time about what the design of the iPhone 17 series will look like exactly. The first big rumor about the design changes of the iPhone 17 series came from The Information. He said in November last year that the back of the iPhone 17 Pro models gets a new design of partly aluminum, partly glass. The upper half of the back is made of aluminum, with a rectangular camera island of aluminum. The lower half of glass remains to support wireless charging.
iPhone 17 Pro: New camera island
Last week Jon Prosser from FrontpageTech shared an image (render) of the iPhone 17 Pro. The three cameras on the back of the iPhone 17 Pro are placed there in the well-known triangular setup, but in a new rectangular camera island. And that camera island runs all the way over the back of the device. According to rumors, the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air would also have a horizontal camera island at the back.
This is supported by a new statue of 3D artist and developer Asher Dipprey. On an image (see above) that he has created, the iPhone 17 Pro has a camera island over almost the full width of the phone, but while retaining the triangular lens arrangement.
The images seem to be based on a claimed CAD image that circulated last month. Leaker Majin Bu then said that the image itself was fake-an opinion that was endorsed by Mark Gurman van Bloomberg-but that it did reflect the overall design of real CAD images.
iPhone 17 Air
Weibo user also says in a new message Digital Chat Station That the design of the iPhone series will change considerably this year. According to him, not only the regular iPhone 17 but also the iPhone 17 Air gets a horizontal, bar -shaped design on the back. That is undoubtedly a reference to the elongated camera island. Jon Prosser from FrontpageTech also shared an image of this.
The Weibo post also refers to a large folding model, which should increase the competition on the market. The account has previously posted accurate information about the display of the iPhone 12 Mini and the improved sensor of the iPhone 15. Whether Digital Chat Station is also right about a foldable model will learn time. The iPhone 17 series is expected in the fall as always.
