Cupertino, California – The highly anticipated release of the next generation iPhone later this year has sparked a wave of rumors, particularly surrounding its design and camera features. Speculations have been circulating about the iPhone 17 Pro models sporting a new rear camera layout with a unique bump. Recently, 3D renders revealed by tech analyst Jon Prosser on the Front Page Tech channel offer a glimpse into what the final design of the new phones might entail.
Contrary to previous rumors, Prosser suggests that the arrangement of the three lenses on the back of the iPhone 17 Pro will remain the same, but with a significant design update. Instead of a square-shaped bump, the new model is rumored to feature a wider “camera bar” on the back. The render showcases a much taller bar compared to previous versions, with the lenses positioned on the left and additional components like the LED flash, microphone, and LiDAR sensor on the right.
Leaked images of a potential back part of the rumored iPhone 17 Air also depict a wide rear bar for the camera extending from one side of the phone to the other. Prosser clarifies that misconceptions have arisen regarding the phone’s back having a “two-tone” appearance. According to his sources, the iPhone 17 Pro will maintain a single shade of color on the back, while the camera bar will feature a darker tone. Reports also suggest that the new model will be lighter than current iPhone models on the market.
While rumors should be taken with caution, the alleged design changes hint at Apple exploring new possibilities for the iPhone’s rear camera layout. Whether the lenses will be horizontally aligned or follow the current arrangement with a wide bar remains uncertain. As enthusiasts eagerly await the release, it seems that Apple is poised to introduce some intriguing updates to the iconic iPhone design.
As speculations continue to swirl, the exact details of the iPhone 17 lineup remain a mystery. It is likely that consumers will have to wait a bit longer to see the first cases tailored for the new models. In the meantime, the debate over preferred design choices lingers among tech enthusiasts and iPhone aficionados, with each hoping for a unique and innovative upgrade.
