- More iPhone 17 CAD drawings have emerged
- A speaker design could be on the way for some models
- We do not know how audio quality will be affected
Audio quality may not be the first specification you are looking for when choosing a new phone, but it is an important feature nevertheless-and newly disclosed patterns suggest that the combines of the iPhone 17 could obtain a recast of speakers.
These CAD drawings come from a well -known prognostician @majinbuofficial, and have apparently been delivered via an internal source to Apple. They give us a good overview of the bottom of the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Although nothing seems to change with the standard iPhone 17 compared to the iPhone 16, the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max apparently get the same number of speakers on each side.
Like our IPhone 16 Pro review and the iPhone 16 Pro Max Review will tell you, the speaker configuration is currently asymmetrical on each side of the USB-C port. This year Apple seems to be even everything.
To come in September
The 3D dad of iPhone 17 models reveals a recast of the speakers. The Pro and Pro Max models now have the same number of speakers by side, while the iPhone 17 air is delivered with only 2 speakers per side.

The iPhone 17 Air is a whole new model this year, so we have nothing to compare, but it only makes two speakers on each side-perhaps a sign of the Apple cutting component had to make it as thin as possible.
Exactly how it will affect the configuration of the speaker or the quality of the audio is difficult to say on the basis of the diagrams alone, but it seems that pro and pro max phones can be delivered with some attached sound upgrades.
The leaks of the iPhone 17 are really starting to accumulate now. The renderings that have appeared previously online suggest that we will get four phones that seem considerably different from their predecessors, especially in terms of camera module.
A variety of different internal upgrades have also been rumors, but of course, none of this is certain that phones are officially revealed – which, if Apple sticks to its usual schedule this year, will take place in September.
