iPhone 17 Pro Clear Case Leak Reveals Three Key Changes

[MacRumors]

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series on Tuesday, September 9, and last-minute rumors about the devices continue to surface.

The latest info comes from a leaker known as Majin Bu, who has shared alleged images of Apple's Clear Case for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, or at least replicas.

The images show three alleged changes compared to Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Clear Case:

• A cutout for a significantly larger rear camera bump that spans the entire width of the device, as widely rumored already.
• A white rounded rectangular area surrounding the MagSafe system, instead of the previous circle with a line below it.
• Compatibility with Apple's rumored Crossbody Strap magnetic lanyard.

Apple also tested special "tinted" editions of the iPhone 17 Pro Clear Case, which might be released later, according to Majin Bu.

Apple's annual iPhone event is a little over a week away, so we will find out of this redesigned Clear Case is the real deal soon.

I cannot wait to see what is “hidden” behind the purpose of enlarging the camera bump like that!!!

 

[Johnnyponken]

So if the transparent cases will have a frosted rectangle like that. Maybe the iPhone actually also will have that ugly rectangle as well.

 

[DrRadon]

This dos not seem like a clear case to my inner Columbo.

 

[jz0309]

so the "clear" case isn't clear on the back, but, white? at least that's what it looks like to me. unless I'm missing something.
Nvm, white rectangular ... weird for a clear case

I looks like an old plastic MacBook. I think combined with the color of a phone it might be nice. What seems weird to me is that it dos not look centered.

 

[iLuddite]

Holy hell that is ugly.

 

[Flojomojo]

Surely that big white rectangle is just a piece of paper or a removable label, right? Right?

 

[jdavid_rp]

I suppose the white rectangle is to make the Apple logo feel centered. Without it it would feel it’s too low

 

[Kylo83]

How can a lanyard be magnetic even a strong one can fall off that’s terrible

 

[CATiNTHESTORE]

This dos not seem like a clear case to my inner Columbo.

What a legend

 

[jayducharme]

I'm confused as to how their strap would work. Normally for a lanyard there's a cord loop that winds around a slot in the case. How is their strap supposed to attach? As others have said, magnets alone won't work.

A part of me still hopes all of these leaks that have basically confirmed how the iPhone 17 is going to look are all planted leaks from the Cookie himself and that the actual iPhones 17 will look much much better than that.

This is the first time I think Apple is going to disappoint me design-wise.

Orange only is a choice

This Majin Bu person put some really strange stuff in his articles like "compatible with camera control" and "molded for the iPhone 17/17 Pro specifically". i mEaN, aRe u SeRiOuSss??? Who would've thought that Apple would make their iPhone 17 Pro cases fit the iPhone 17 Pro, you'd think they would make them to fit a Samsung Galaxy Note. Thank God he mentioned this in the article!

 

[MakaniKai]

This is clearly not clear

 

[vegetassj4]

If the clear case leaked, how is it supposed to hold the iPhone - it's got liquid glass!

Thank you, I will be here all week.

 

[Boardiesboi]

But that is clearly not a clear case?

 

[red elma]

That looks more like a frosted case...

 

[macduke]

I would also say another thing we can learn from this leak is that the Dynamic Island looks to still be roughly the same size.

 

[tomtad]

Why's no one pointing out the font isn't San Francisco and is the one Apple used some years back

This is clearly a fake

 

[GeneticBloom]

These look odd, but the old ones did too with the MagSafe lines.

 

[uacd]

Why's no one pointing out the font isn't San Francisco and is the one Apple used some years back

This is clearly a fake

Or maybe they are coming back to Helvetica again😃

 

[Taq'aix]

As clear as milk. 👌

 

[joeblow7777]

It kinda defeats the purpose of a clear case if nearly the entire back of the phone is covered by a white rectangle.
