An insider has shown another version of the new iPhone 17 design, which looks more and more like a Pixel. In the new rendering, the cameras have been moved to the very top of the rear panel, and on some models, the number of lenses will be reduced to one or two.
The new round looks like the previous, which visually resembled the Google Pixel 9. The insider Majin Boo saidthat the regular model will have two cameras, where the main and ultra-wide-angle base versions have been swapped for months. Swapping camera locations will solve problems with sensor integration ultra-wide sensor next to the Dynamic Island. By the way, insider John Prosser’s rendering was refuted by — Mark Gurman of Bloomberg said it was a fake sketch that appeared in late January.
Rumor has it that Apple will improve the front camera of the iPhone 17: all models will be equipped with a 24 MP sensor, which is twice the resolution of previous versions. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to have a single rear lens camera, while the Pro version will retain the usual triple camera. All models seem to have a 48MP main sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide lens with 2x zoom capability.
The smartphones may get a new anti-reflective coating on the display, which will increase resistance to scratches and drops. Apple is likely to focus on AI-driven features. This will improve Siri’s response speed, machine learning capabilities, and multitasking efficiency. The body of the iPhone 17 Pro is likely to be half glass and half aluminum.
Falling sales of the iPhone 16 could have pushed the company to potentially change its plans for the model redesign. It is very likely that the iPhone 17 series will have camera hardware similar to its predecessor. Perhaps the components for the camera will be made a little smaller to fit into a smaller island. It is difficult to tell from Majin Bu’s rendering how much the camera will protrude from the panel and how the edges will be trimmed so that they do not rub off
The latest rumors have one thing in common — the back of the smartphone is completely different from any iPhone currently on the market. But so far, Apple hasn’t confirmed any leaks, so don’t take them seriously. Apple usually releases new iPhones in September, and for recent posts the iPhone 17 series may be unveiled between September 11 and 13
