iPhone 17 Pro Spotted in the Wild?

Serious question here...when it comes to hardware, how do any of you honestly get excited about new iPhones anymore? I have always been a fan of Apple's design aesthetic, for the most part. But, this new design looks like pure garbage.
I had hoped the widening of the bump would reduce the rings to almost nothing because there is more space to place the inner optics horizontally. Seems a wasted opportunity if the bump exists purely as a new aesthetic. As of now we don't actually know if the rings are exactly the same as the 16 so we'll have to see.
If Apple let him test it out in public, that's on them though.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" ...
Ah, I did not know that. Normally, they credit the usual human team. That this one didn’t so I thought…
Anyway… Tuesday!
whoop-de-doo. Gone are the days where I got excited over a new iPhone or pretty much any other Apple product.
Another “Fox Puppy wants more internet engagement” incident.
Imagine it’s the weeks before an iPhone release and there’s a crapton of good quality dummy devices out there. How can you use that to drive a huge number of users to one of your posts?

He won’t be there. They wouldn’t let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer gangs.
Periscope lenses with horizontal optics are already being used in smartphones. Some lenses don't need it because the bump is tall enough but others like telephoto ones with a large optical zoom do.
Me either. I guess I have to resign myself that phones are going to have camera bumps from now on but this bump has three bumps on it. It looks clumsy.
We're gonna need a new name for the camera...area... now that it is apparently the full width of the phone. Camera Plinth? Mesa? Plateau? Shelf?
Yes, later he went to a bar, and after 20 beers he forgot it. Probably Prosser found it?! 😂🤣😂
FALSE! The iPhone Fold is the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone. This is the future of mobile phones.
This really feels like an intentionally staged and leaked pic by Apple. It's exactly the kind of thing they'd do to generate excitement about the iPhone launch without looking like they're trying to generate excitement about the launch. Bet on it.
I could see it. Why would you hold two phones out in front of you like that if you're trying to keep one hidden. Definitely drawing attention to yourself.
I hope all the people on here who hate it don’t actually buy one then I won’t have to worry about my dispatch date this year.
A/B photography of the same model. Likely will be used to compare the camera/optics of the 17 pro vs 16 pro.
A/B photography of a trash can in SF Union Square this late in the game (with release next month)?
It’s possible that the woman in the red shirt was the subject but awfully suspect that she’s not showing up in his sunglasses.
So…yes, possible they were taking random shots of a subject to test or last minute for PR and removed her so they wouldn’t give away test shots…
But more likely this was staged leaking to generate buzz for the phone. They may have removed subject from sunglass reflection for privacy purposes instead.
