- A disclosed CAD image suggests that the iPhone 17 range could receive major design changes
- The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max could get a new longer camera bar and a two -color rear panel
- The air of the iPhone 17 could also get a camera bar for its unique camera
Although known to have pushed the limits of technological design, Apple in recent years has played it safely with even the best iPhones, generally supported on the trend of phones with homogeneous and neutral slab only some people find pleasantly minimal and Others find a boring directly (like a recent Techradar survey confirms).
However, if we believe a new leak, all this could be set to change, with the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max to be the subjects of important design changes – and most likely controversial.
The leak of the Majin BU note shared which seems to be a disclosed frame model of the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max on X (formerly Twitter), With legend by reading “the iPhone 17 Lignal CAD”.
CAD means a computer -assisted design, and the documents in this format are used to dictate the form and the measurements of a product for automated mounting lines.
Although the basic iPhone 17 model seems to be quite unchanged from the current iPhone 16, the other three models exposed are either new or show serious changes.
First, the phone on the far left of the image seems to be the brand new and very cumulative iPhone 17. The image shows the new phone as wearing a single lens camera system mounted on a large pixel style bar that exceeds of its thin-converted chassis.
We had previously heard rumors according to which the iPhone 17 air has a black -poured camera bar to contrast with the rest of the unit, so this last leak corresponds to our current expectations.
As for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, the leak suggests that there could be three main changes to the design of the highest -end combines of Apple.
The first two concern the camera system: by the appearance of things, the iPhone 17 pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max have a camera bar similar to the air of the iPhone 17, but obviously enlarged for Provide a space for the iconic system with triple camera. This seems to be the Lidar sensor and the flash module was both moved to the right side of this elongated camera case.
An image supposedly showing the iPhone 17 Pro and a new clear case shared with X (formerly Twitter) by the Sonny Dickson predictor also presents this new camera design, with cutouts for the sensor and the Lidar flash on the right side .
The third change is the one I bet will have the most Apple fans in the arms – the CAD rendering shows a separate cut in the center of the rear panel of the iPhone 17 Pro and the pro Max, which could suggest a two -color color or Use of another material.
Given that even small changes in the design of the iPhone – like pros passing to titanium rails or modifying the ringtone switch for the action button – can cause a storm of debate, it seems obvious that A two -color iPhone would cause an explosion of Apple speech.
Personally, I like it when manufacturers of phones become weird, and there is no easier way to do so than to acting design – although I can see why people might want to see Apple release something In addition subtle after several years of smaller iterations.
Anyway, we do not expect to hear anything official from the iPhone 17 range until much later in the year – as it stands, what precedes is entirely based on rumors. What do you think, however? Is the iPhone family due to a design upheaval? Or should Apple continue to play safe? Let us know in the comments below.
