The tech world is abuzz with anticipation as the next generation iPhone is expected to make its debut later this year. With excitement mounting, rumors about the iPhone 17 Pro are already circulating, particularly focusing on its design and camera features. Insiders suggest significant changes, especially in the iPhone 17 Pro camera design.
In a recent video shared on the Front Page Tech channel, industry insider Jon Prosser revealed 3D renders based on insider information. Contrary to earlier speculations, Prosser claims the iPhone 17 Pro will retain the same three-lens arrangement. However, the design will differ significantly. Unlike the traditional square-shaped bump, the new design will feature a wide "camera bar" across the back.
The renders indicate that this camera bar will be notably taller than previous designs. The three lenses will remain positioned on the left, while the LED flash, microphone, and LiDAR sensor will be aligned on the right. This contrasts with earlier reports suggesting a horizontal alignment of the lenses.
A recent leak also shed light on the back design of the rumored iPhone 17 Air. It is expected to feature a wide rear bar extending across the phone, similar to the iPhone 17 Pro. Prosser clarifies that earlier reports of a "two-tone" back design were misunderstood. Instead, the phone will maintain a single color shade, with the camera bar boasting a darker tone. Additionally, sources hint that the iPhone 17 Pro will be lighter compared to its predecessors.
While Prosser has a track record of accurate predictions, it's essential to approach these rumors cautiously. Although he has provided reliable information about upcoming Apple products in the past, there have been instances where his predictions, such as those about the Mac mini and iPhone 14, did not materialize.
Nonetheless, the consensus among rumors indicates that Apple is seriously considering changes to the iPhone's rear camera design. Whether this will manifest as a horizontal alignment or the current arrangement with a large wide bar remains to be seen. Enthusiasts and potential buyers will likely have to wait a bit longer to witness the official unveiling, including the first cases for the iPhone 17 lineup.
