iPhone 17 Pro With All-New Camera Bar Design Allegedly Revealed

No way you trust fpt and Jon Prosser. Come on. Besides "beautiful production", his content is the same as Max Tech.

Giving this the benefit of the doubt, this larger bump could house a more robust telephoto periscope lens.

Prosser has shown to peddle bad information numerous times. I don’t believe him.

The camera was so big, it needed its own passport for aerial shots!

It looks like someone has run out of good ideas. What is the point to change hardware if a new model is based on esthetics only?

Camera Bump then camera bump pro...

WHY!!!!​

Because quality cameras are more important than aesthetics. All day. Every day. Especially when those aesthetics are 100% going to be covered by some ugly ass case, no matter what.

If the camera bar is that large, it must be a mini screen for taking selfies in closed-shell mode like on the Z flip.

The camera was so big, I had to file taxes for it as a dependent!

i think that rumor mill would be much more active about now if this was the case for 17 Pro - unless they bring over some AVP tech for an all new AR experience

My guesses:

1. New easily discernible design after several years of the same design.

2. More room for (even larger) camera module near the FaceID system and other components. Could allow for non-Max Pro to get same camera upgrades as Pro Max instead of waiting another year.

this is most likely and in the end, a compromised design. possibly for better use cases on the front of the display i.e. face id, smaller island, etc.

It’s very straightforward to think that the blank space perfectly fits a small OLED screen and it blends in well. Why nobody was commenting that.

it took apple 5+ years to keep the front display Always On, no way they already have the tech and use case for a screen on the back

Not a snowball's chance. I'll eat my hat if it ends up looking like that.

If this is real it means it’s time to sell. Your devices, your stock, all of it.

 

[airwalk331]

That is ugly af

 

[lobabobloblaw]

It looks pregnant. It looks like it’s expecting a phone baby.

 

[ali5289]

looks like it's a leak for Apple to figure out who is leaking information. don't think they would release this

 

[thefrost]

More uglier than before.

 

[svish]

Looks like it is very possible that this will be the design. Hopefully there will be some nice new color this year. Waiting to hear more about the 17 Pro Max in the coming months.

 

[Reason077]

So Pro.

It looks pregnant. It looks like it’s expecting a phone baby.

That would be kinda cool! Need an extra phone to lend to a friend or a kid? Just undock the new baby iPhone that comes with every iPhone Pro!

 

[Tomas1988]

Smells like a total fiasco

 

[Chuckeee]

Well it is distinctive. Upon seeing it, anyone would be able to tell it is an iPhone 17 pro, not to be confused with an earlier iPhone model or a Pixel phone. Just don’t expect many compliments.

"Maybe yes, maybe no. Or maybe go f*** yourself."

What is the point of these non-news?

 

[lobabobloblaw]

it’s only natural for cells to divide and grow more complex. Is this what we’re witnessing now in the iPhone? Have we reached a level of post-minimalism?

 

[jebjeb2000]

The current design is a seasaw. you can’t set it on a flat surface and press the screen without it flopping around like a ****** cafe table. Maybe they want to fix that.

 

[19callum93]

I believe this one. I can see where this is going in the long run? 🤔

 

[ikir]

Do these people actually take a step back and look at these terrible renders before they post them? I doubt Apple would do something this ugly.

We are not used to it. Many times rumors were right, people said it would be icky, the accepted and loved it. For example with iPhone 11 Pro camera we have now.
