Better yet at this point they are already being made now in the factories. These are most definitely the final designs.

honestly they could’ve just left it how it is. that just looks absolutely ridiculous.
I agree
And the fact that only the Air is going to have the horizonal camera bar whereas the rest will be the same as they have been for years now in terms of layout
Like…I still love all of the other modern Apple products. But I really, really hate how they’ve massacred the iPhone this time. It is an abomination. This “iPhone” could just as well be a Pixel, or some Huawhey or whatever it’s called, generic Android phone running iOS. The iPhone used to be so elegant, so comfortable to use, so practical, when I hold my 14 Pro I’m still in disbelief how freaking heavy and bulky and ugly this thing is. Apple has been butchering the iPhone for a few years now, I really hope they make a good foldable and get back on track.
What if it's a really good one?
I really only use the 1x lens on my iPhone.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who's like that.
Let's hope this design comes from fake planted leaks by the Cookie himself and that he's all tricked us until a gorgeous iPhone 17 design is unveiled come September.
Maybe I’m the minority here, but I’ve not complained that iPhone cameras aren’t good enough, or that they could be better. But those camera bumps getting bigger are definitely a complaint I have… #WobbleGate
That looks like bad news for people who use MagSafe battery packs, especially on the Pro models. With that giant honking KitKat bar on the back, moving the MagSafe ring closer to it would mean quite a few battery packs wouldn’t fit anymore. This rumored design gets worse and worse.
Another image of the iPhone 17 Pro's rumored new MagSafe design has surfaced. Unfortunately, though, the image's quality is pretty low.
A user known as "UnclePan" on Chinese social media platform Weibo this week shared an image of third-party MagSafe cases that are apparently for the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
On the iPhone 17 Pro cases, the MagSafe layout has changed slightly, with the magnets no longer forming a complete circle on those devices.
On the regular iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Air, however, the MagSafe design is unchanged compared to previous iPhone models.
It has been rumored that the Apple logo on the back of the iPhone 17 Pro models will be positioned lower than it is on previous iPhone models, as a result of a larger rear camera bump. The new MagSafe design would ensure that the Apple logo remains fully visible when these devices are covered by an updated MagSafe case.
As always, the MagSafe outline will only be visible on cases, and not on the iPhones directly.
Years ago, "UnclePan" accurately leaked that the Apple Watch Series 7 would be available in then-new 41mm and 45mm sizes, but the account does not have a perfect track record. However, this particular rumor has been corroborated by other sources.
Apple will likely announce the iPhone 17 series in just about six weeks from now.

For the future iPhone you have the Air.
The Pro is now going heavily (not that it's been particularly light for a long time) down the pro camera route. That will only mean ever larger camera bumps. They should call it the iCamera
That doesn't look too bad, it's just too big. It's huge, impractical to use and uncomfortable in the pocket. The camera bump looks retarded.
