iPhone 17 Pro's New MagSafe Design Revealed in Leaked Photo

I guess Apple doesn't care about the Studio Display. This is the back with the VESA mount. 
I feel like this new iPhone design has to be a joke that Apple is playing on leakers. If not, I'll be holding off upgrading for at least a year.
I think Apple is going with this design with the awkward camera bump because they have determined that so many people just put their phones in a case. So it minimizes the fugglyness
I'm okay with this, but the misaligned Apple logo looks horrendous.
First, keep in mind that a bare phone isn't going to have a white outline over the magnets. That said: this placement actually doesn't make sense, from a graphical design perspective... but again, keep in mind that the images we are seeing are just speculation based upon rumors.
I would posit that it's much more likely that the baseline of the Apple logo will be resting at the vertical midway point between the bump and the bottom of the iPhone. That would put it a bit higher than what's in the image.
It's just a dumb render meant to trigger comments; the real phone won't display that rectangle or the MagSafe circle/Line. Camera bumps don't bother me so a full-width one will have zero impact on my purchasing decision.

Oh only if I had a dollar every time someone said “Apple’s playing a joke on leakers” and then the leak became exactly the product, I would be a very wealthy man.

Apple is a business who produces billions of devices every year, the last thing they would be doing is using their very powerful supply chain to… uh… make up fake leaks?
No.
The 16e is the best looking iPhone, currently.

I thought Apple was known for their design… between liquid glass and this……
Actually, yes: it has happened before... and I would speculate that Apple probably isn't the only company to have taken such measures against leakers.
It’s gonna look like this sadly. Majin Bu gets the colors and design correct every year.
It looks like an iPhone ProMax is pregnant with an iPhone 4
That new MS design looks absolutely hideous - probably the ugliest phones ever. Apple is a drifting ship.
I hope case makers keep doing the full circle of strong magnets though. If anything, we need *more* magnetic surface area for *stronger* magnetic suction for phone grips, wallets and other magnetic accessories. So any display of *less* magnetic surface area kind of grinds my gears. Magsafe is a good standard for all kinds of phone grips/ accessories, in addition to the charging aspect.
Could we just get an iPhone without a camera? Or one with that is flush with the body? And maybe that has an auto retracting lens cover that opens when the camera app is launched? You know, something different?
