An iPhone proto would not likely be in LA. This mention of "security" is ridiculous as well... "hey, so you can go out in public, we're going to have a prototype security blocker guy go with you, instead of just laying low and using the phone in non-public settings, he can walk in front of you and block picture takers and what not. Sound good? Also, wear the worst hat and reflective sunglasses that money can buy, it will throw people off."

Another iPhone 4 incident?

Naw. Not unless Gizmodo steals it then plays dumb, claims innocence & then suddenly develops an unjustified axe to grind with Apple......

 

[JapanApple]

These leaks make me laugh. How pathetic.

You know the maxim: if the photo is blurry, it must be legit.

… only when shot inside an elevator!

 

[Biro]

Fugly phone that is.

MacRumors bot wrote it. Maybe that’s why it feels off.

i immediately assumed it was ai. such an off putting tone.

eta: oh. macrumors bot.

MacRumors Bot posts all articles on the forum. If you view the actual article on the regular website, you will see the byline is a human.

Allegedly!

Tell that to Bigfoot. Nobody could ever get his holiday snaps in focus, poor guy.

 

[grammatica]

Gurman: "this looks legit." 🤓

 

[cardfan]

Big yawn even if it was. This isn't exactly iphone 4 level.

I am only curious about where in the US it is cold enough to be wearing a long-sleeve shirt under a padded vest in the middle of summer at daylight time.

He looks like he is middle eastern. 70 degrees F is likely freezing to him in the bay area. I remember my gf would have the house at 64F all the time and I would go outside and freeze my butt off for no reason other than being acclimated to the AC.

I’m sorry but I don’t trust people wearing sunglasses.

It’s too bad we can’t get a clear enough view of the front to get some kind of indication about the size of the Dynamic Island. As for the back, won’t having the flash so far from the main lens elements cause there to be more shadows on the edge of subjects in low light?

I was recently in Rocky Mountain National Park and it was pretty chilly up there. Was wearing a jacket.

It's so spooky knowing that prototypes walk among us.

My cousin always gets to drive unreleased Mercedes and it's completely covered in a sticker and when he parks, he needs to put a black blanket across the interior in the front. Works at Daimler in Stuttgart.

Welcome to coastal California in the morning.

Anything to draw more attention, to increase the speculation and hype. Apple thrives off this.

Those who’ve been around and owned many iPhones understand the benefit of taking a wait and see approach. Continuing to use one’s current perfectly good iPhone, waiting an additional year or more, saving time and money.

As the saying goes “newer is not always better”.

Is this written for TMZ or MacRumors? The tone of this article seems really off compared to what’s typically posted.

“Your guess is as good as ours”, “Who knows”, and “Allegedly!” It just feels weird this got past the editor as it was written. If they even have an editor 🤨

They’re trembling at the thought of facing Apple’s formidable legal team.

”Everything that we have wrote below is purely speculation.”

Strange sentence. As if the information presented on this site is usually verified.

The „iPhone 17“ case has a flat backside. No Camera bump.
So obviously fake.

 

[svish]

If true, it looks like quite a big leak. Don't think such a leak has happened in the recent past. Looks like all the rumors regarding the design changes are true. Hope the 17 Pro will have the rumored orange color.

 

[t0rqx]

well, if that guy with those sunglasses is an Apple employee ... might not have that job much longer

these photos show way too little from what we allegedly "know" ...

The question is: What do we really know? Do we think we know, we know? Or is the thing we know not true, you know? Who knows?

 

[trerep]

You can see the new button on the top side

 

[nottorp]

How much more battery could it have had if they didn't do the camera bump?

What was the last iphone model that could stay flat on a table btw?

My guess this is just a dummy based on rumours. Generating content for rumours.

Time to start the marketing machine with some so-called leaks, to get people talking. Look out for upcoming articles on iPhone 17 cover mockups, which will reveal design clues.

Full specs will be leaked a day beforehand, like they always are.
