Рендер Apple iPhone 17 / YouTube
An insider offers a new vision of the iPhone 17 Pro camera design — instead of «spider eyes» a style similar to the Chinese Poco. Apple’s flagship may be equipped with an even wider panel than previously predicted.
Insider John Prosser denies previous rumors about the camera panel and published visualizations of what the upcoming flagship might look like the previous round of design resembled the Google Pixel 9 with a wider band, but he explained why this is unlikely.
In the rendering, the camera is placed higher, which resembles Poco style from Xiaomi where the camera occupies about 30% of the rear panel. Apple is likely to move the LED flash, microphone, and LiDAR sensor to the right. The new panel of the Phone 17 Pro looks like a billiard table, where the lenses are the balls and the microphone and other things are the pockets.
The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max may retain the triangular camera sensor so that its sensors do not interfere with the Dynamic Island hardware. According to the insider, for this reason, such camera alignment is not possible on the iPhone. Unlike previous rumors about a two-color design, the iPhone 17 Pro may get a one-color back, and the camera island will be darker for contrast.
In the rendering, the camera protrusion is too thick and will stick out from the body. В other rumors said that the camera will have three 48MP sensors on the back and an updated selfie camera. The iPhone 17 Pro will be lighter than its predecessor, but it is not known what materials it will be made of.
