While the Apple iPhone 16 series was just released a few months ago, there are already some early leaks hinting at the design of the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup. These leaks show a significant redesign on the back, so let’s dive into this leaked image.
Apple iPhone 17 Design Leaks
The render of the iPhone 17 series was posted by the well-known leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo, a popular Chinese microblogging site. From the picture, we can see that Apple is keeping the pill-shaped module that we first saw on the standard iPhone 16 (Via TechOutlook). However, what’s interesting is that the image sensors are not arranged vertically; instead, they seem to draw inspiration from the latest Google Pixel 9.
Features of the iPhone 17 Pro
The leaked images show three camera sensors accompanied by an LED flash. The Cupertino-based company introduced a design refresh with the iPhone 16, but it appears that the iPhone 17 might take a bolder approach. If these leaks are accurate, it would represent the most significant change to the iPhone in many years. Although the precise details about the camera configuration remain unclear, Digital Chat Station noted that Android smartphone manufacturers might also follow a similar design trend.
The presence of three camera sensors suggests this might be an iPhone 17 Pro model. Additionally, this leaked version of the iPhone 17 Pro is said to feature a dedicated camera button on the side. Since this is an early leak, it’s best to take this information with a grain of salt. It seems doubtful that Apple would implement such a drastic alteration. So, keep an eye out for more updates as we will share further information when it becomes available about the next generation of iPhones. The iPhone lineup for 2025 may also feature a new iPhone 17 Air model, which could be more than 2mm slimmer than the iPhone 16.
