Meh, people still don't like the 11/12/13/14/15/16 camera bump. I'm still not a fan.

For real!
And it was for a good cause. Now we just have liquid everything.
I'm certainly not a fan, it's just not actively bothering me so much anymore, and that's just from looking at renders on MR occasionally. Once they're all around us it'll seem normal, if not necessarily elegant or beautiful.
Genuine leather, please.
Apple is designing new "Liquid Silicone" cases for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, with images of the alleged case colors shared by leaker "Majin Bu."
The lineup includes eight variants with a matte finish and soft-touch texture, including deep orange, pale orange, grass green, celadon, fog purple, grey blue, dark blue, and midnight black. The cases also have multiple cutouts for attaching a lanyard, which may be sold separately.
Bu claims Apple initially tested other shades including black, crag gray, carambola, tannin, and lake green, but "these appear to have been discarded." The leaker goes on to suggest that some of these hues may yet appear as seasonal variants that Apple could release at a later date.
Hit-or-miss leaker Bu previously shared images of new so-called "TechWoven" cases for iPhone 17 models that are allegedly replacing the fabric-like FineWoven cases that Apple discontinued with the iPhone 16 launch. Bu describes Apple's Liquid Silicone cases as targeting a broader audience than TechWoven, with an affordable price and a diverse color range.
It's still unclear if these cases are the real deal – if so, the name "Liquid Silicone" is seemingly based on iOS 26's new "Liquid Glass" design. However, Bu has a mixed track record with Apple rumors. They were most recently accurate about iPadOS 26 adding a Mac-like menu bar to iPads. We will find out the accuracy of the rumor in less than a month when Apple unveils the new iPhone 17 models.

No more finewoven, meshwoven, whateverwoven, enviro-friendly nonsense material or silicone crap.
I suspect we'll quickly see cases that cover up a lot of the middle blank space.
The designs have never actively bothered me, mostly because I don't really pay attention to what devices other are using but either way, I've never thought of any iPhone as "beautiful". The best looking current looking iPhone, to me, is the 16e; simple and plain.
I wish Apple would quit with these lame marketing names. If it’s a silicone case just call it that. No need to prefix with the stupid ‘liquid’.
Exactly, the camera bumps have always been ugly and clunky and always will be, because they ruin the fundamentally simple smartphones' shape, which is a slab. But until someone invents a camera which can be accommodated within the slab, instead of protruding from the surface, while being as performant (or more performant than the year before) as the users demand it, they will keep becoming bigger and bigger, and therefore uglier.
Based on previous Apple silicone cases. The last few years were straight junk and would chip and start falling apart within months.
You act like liquid silicone material is new or something. Apple ain't making any special cases here.
