X account Majin Bu has shared new images revealing the design of one of Apple’s upcoming iPhones, set to launch this autumn. Just two days ago, the same account showcased a glimpse of the so-called iPhone 17 Air, which we have detailed in a separate article.
Overview of the iPhone 17 Pro
Now, Majin Bu has shifted focus to the iPhone 17 Pro, which is expected to differ in design from the current iPhone 16 Pro (currently priced at $799 – renewed on Amazon) in several aspects. Notably, Apple is likely to have revamped its signature camera bar. While the triple-camera arrangement stays the same, a full-width glass panel will let Apple move its LED flash and LiDAR sensor towards the outer edges on the right side of the iPhone 17 Pro.
Design Changes and Features
The iPhone 17 Pro’s sides also show a smoother curve compared to its predecessor. Additionally, it appears that Apple has relocated the SIM tray between these models. However, there are no indications that the company will reintroduce the SIM card slot in their Pro iPhones for markets like the US.
An initial MagSafe clear case hints at the expected design modifications that Apple is planning to implement with the iPhone 17 Pro. The case features a large cut-out for the camera housing, along with openings for the Camera Control button, USB Type-C port, and bottom-firing speakers. A redesigned MagSafe ring is also visible, which accommodates a shifted Apple logo.
