iPhone 17 Series Design Revealed in Leaked Dummy Units; Pro Models Show New Camera Module

 

The iPhone 17 series is expected to be unveiled in September, but lots of leaks regarding the next-generation iPhone family's designs have already surfaced online. Most recently, fresh renderings of dummy units of the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air (or Slim), iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max (or Ultra) have leaked online, providing insight into their design. The renderings show the four iPhone 17 models side by side in black and white. The vanilla iPhone 17 appears to keep the same appearance, whilst the Pro versions offer a new camera bar design.

iPhone 17 Series Dummy Units Provide Another Look at Their Design
Tipster Sonny Dickson (@SonnyDickson) posted photographs of supposed fake devices for the whole iPhone 17 lineup on X (previously Twitter). The renderings show the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max in black and white colors. Apple may want to keep the regular model's vertical camera configuration with two sensors, as seen on the iPhone 16.

The iPhone 17 Air, which is slated to replace the iPhone 16 Plus, looks to feature an entirely different appearance. It features a slim frame, and the phone's camera configuration differs from previous generations. It is depicted having an enlarged pill-shaped camera array, similar to the one found on Google Pixel phones. The horizontally oriented camera island looks to have a single sensor.

Apple's iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max look to have the most visible design updates. They have a new long horizontal camera bar rather than the present square form of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Previous leaks have previously confirmed the transition to a bigger camera housing. The hue of the camera islands matches that of the case. Both Pro versions look to be equipped with three back cameras, much as its predecessors.

According to Apple's historical launch dates, the iPhone 17 series will most likely be launched in September of this year. With a few months until the latest iPhone models are announced, we should expect further design leaks before the firm launches the phones.
