One model of the iPhone 17 series does not get a new camera island

Concept images of the iPhone 17 line with a new camera island have recently appeared, but this model is unfortunately skipped.

This model does not get a new camera island

Although Apple has just released the iPhone 16th, the rumors about the future iPhone 17 series will of course continue. We have just seen a video of Jon Prosser from Frontpagetech in which he gives a good picture of what we can expect from the Ultradunne iPhone 17 Air. Moreover, Prosser also lifted a tip of the veil over the basic model of the iPhone 17. On X he said the following:

Freely translated there is:

“Something that is not mentioned in the video, but what I want to add here: the regular iPhone 17 continues to look the same as the iPhone 16. Do with that info what you want.”

According to most rumors, all iPhone 17 models get a freshening up to a greater or lesser extent. But it seems that one of the biggest visual changes will be missing on the ‘regular’ iPhone 17 and that is a new camera island.

iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max

In addition to images of the iPhone 17 Air, other rumors also show concept images of the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max (see below). You can then see a similar new camera island, which is of course larger. This corresponds to rumors that we have heard in the past of websites such as The Information.

Large camera differences are expected between 17 Air and 17 Pro models. The Air probably has only one camera on the back, while the Pro (Max) has, as is common in recent years. Despite these differences, Apple seems to coordinate the appearance of the camera island. But as said, with one exception.

As it looks now, three of the four iPhone 17 models get a new camera island, with a difference in size. The basic model of the iPhone 17, on the other hand, is said to retain the same design as the basic model of the iPhone 16.
